# Kitchen Insect Screen

Kitchen insect screen: ventilation and a pest barrier; hinged on the window, sliding on the balcony door, cat mesh in pet homes.

## Kitchen Analysis

The kitchen is the most critical space for an insect screen: the window venting the cooking steam is open to flies and pests at the same time. A [hinged](https://www.fenetresystems.com/en/hinged-insect-screen/) or [roller insect screen](https://www.fenetresystems.com/en/roller-insect-screen/) on the window keeps the barrier while ventilating; a sliding system on the balcony door does not disturb the passage.

### Ventilation

Pests stay outside while the steam-venting window is open.

### Door

The sliding system does not disturb passage on the balcony/garden door.

### Pet

Cat-mesh resistance in kitchens with pets.

## The ventilation-barrier balance in the kitchen

The kitchen is the room wanting ventilation most: while cooking steam is thrown out, flies and pests try to come in. The insect screen solves both needs at once.

A hinged or roller type works on the window; where a balcony door exists, a sliding system builds the barrier without disturbing passage.
