Summer · April – June
Four common types are used in Indian homes. Rates below are labour + material, per square foot of window or door area.
| Net type | Cost 2026 (₹/sq ft) | Lifespan | Removable? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Velcro (removable) | 80 – 150 | 1–2 years | Yes, daily if needed |
| Magnetic strip | 150 – 300 | 2–3 years | Yes, easy pull-off |
| Roller net (aluminium frame) | 350 – 600 | 5–8 years | Rolls up when not needed |
| Fixed aluminium frame | 250 – 500 | 8–12 years | No, permanent |
| Sliding aluminium frame (2-track) | 450 – 800 | 10–15 years | Slides open |
| Pleated / retractable | 600 – 1,200 | 10+ years | Retracts fully |
Do not order the same net type for every window. Match the type to the window use.
A poor install leaves a 2–5 mm gap that mosquitoes still enter through. The check for a good install is simple: hold a lit torch outside at night and see if any light leaks around the net. If it does, the mosquitoes will too.
Order in April, install by first week of May. Carpenters and net-fitters get booked out in June once the first monsoon rain triggers mosquito breeding. Waiting until July means 2–3 weeks of exposure and a 20–30% peak-season premium.
Pair the install with a Solve24 pest control mosquito fogging (₹600–₹1,500) done the same week. Fogging kills the adults; nets prevent the next generation from entering the home.
Solve24 carpenters and welders quote you directly per sq ft on WhatsApp, and you see previous customer reviews before you agree. Commission-based apps mark up the same install by 25–40%, especially in premium areas of Bangalore and Gurgaon.
Every carpenter on Solve24 lists directly — no platform commission on the job. See real reviews, agree the rate on WhatsApp, and pay them directly.
A standard 4x4 ft window is ₹1,200–₹2,500 for magnetic, ₹4,000–₹8,000 for sliding aluminium, ₹1,500–₹3,000 for fixed aluminium. Velcro nets are the cheapest at ₹1,200–₹2,400 for a 4x4 ft window.
April to first week of May, before monsoon breeding starts. Carpenters get booked out from mid-June and rates rise 20–30% through July.
Sliding aluminium frame at 10–15 years, then fixed aluminium at 8–12 years. Velcro is the shortest at 1–2 years but the easiest to remove and replace.
A fibre mesh reduces airflow by 5–10%, a stainless-steel mesh by 10–20%. Compensate by leaving both opposite-wall windows netted and open — cross-ventilation still works.
Nets plus a Solve24 fogging (₹600–₹1,500) plus removing standing water in flower pots and AC trays give near-full protection. Nets alone are 90%+ effective indoors but do nothing for balcony or outdoor exposure.
