🦟 Mosquito Net vs 🧬 Nanofiber Mesh:
Why Both Are Not the Same for Indoor Air Quality
For decades, mosquito nets have been a common solution to keep insects out of our homes and workplaces. While they serve a basic purpose, today’s air quality challenges demand far more than insect control.
Let’s clearly understand the difference between a traditional mosquito net and a Nanofiber Mesh, especially from an Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) perspective.
🔹 What a Mosquito Net Can Do
Mosquito nets are designed with relatively larger openings, making them effective only against visible insects such as:
-
Mosquitoes
-
Houseflies
-
Cockroaches
However, mosquito nets do NOT restrict:
-
Fine dust (PM2.5 & PM10)
-
Pollen grains
-
Allergens
-
Bacteria
-
Smoke particles
-
Water droplets during rain
-
Harmful UV & IR rays
In polluted urban environments, this means polluted air freely enters indoors, even when windows are “protected” with a mosquito net.
🔹 What Nanofiber Mesh Can Do
Nanofiber Mesh is engineered for air filtration, not just insect protection.
Its ultra-dense structure helps restrict:
-
Fine dust & particulate matter (PM2.5 / PM10)
-
Pollen grains & allergens
-
Bacteria and bio-contaminants
-
Smoke & outdoor pollutants
-
Water droplets (during rain or fog)
-
Harmful UV & IR radiation, reducing heat gain
At the same time, it allows natural ventilation, reducing dependency on air purifiers and lowering HVAC energy loads.
🔹 The Real Difference
🟢 Mosquito Net = Insect control
🟢 Nanofiber Mesh = Insect control + clean air + thermal comfort + energy efficiency
In today’s world—where outdoor air pollution is a serious health concern—clean air entry is no longer optional. Solutions must evolve from just keeping insects out to actively protecting indoor environments.
🌱 Final Thought
If we are serious about healthy buildings, sustainable facades, and occupant well-being, upgrading from mosquito nets to Nanofiber Mesh is a logical and future-ready step.
Clean air should start at the window, not only at the air purifier.
