Hay fever? How pollen screen mesh helps keep pollen outside

For many people, spring and summer do not just mean sunny weather. They also bring sneezing, itchy eyes and a blocked nose. If you suffer from hay fever, you want to keep as much pollen out of your home as possible. At the same time, on warm days you want to open your windows and doors to let in fresh air.

Fortunately, you do not have to choose between ventilation and fewer hay fever symptoms. With a screen fitted with pollen screen mesh, you can ventilate your home while a large amount of pollen stays outside. In this article, you will discover how pollen screen mesh works, how it differs from standard screen mesh and which KeJe screens are available with this option.

Why does pollen enter your home so easily?

Pollen consists of tiny particles released by trees, grasses and plants. On dry and windy days, pollen can easily travel through the air.

At the exact moments when you want to ventilate, for example after a warm day, pollen can easily enter through open windows and doors. As a result, hay fever symptoms may continue indoors.

Bedrooms are especially important. Many people open the window at night to cool the room down, but this can also allow pollen to enter the home.

Does a window screen help with hay fever?

Yes, but not every screen offers the same level of protection. A standard window screen is designed to keep insects such as mosquitoes, flies and wasps outside. For people with hay fever, special pollen screen mesh is also available.

This mesh is designed to block not only insects, but also a large amount of pollen. That way, you can continue to ventilate your home without allowing as much pollen indoors.

What is pollen screen mesh?

Pollen screen mesh is a special type of screen mesh developed for people with hay fever. It has a finer structure than standard insect screen mesh, helping to block a large amount of pollen.

At the same time, ventilation remains possible. Fresh air can still enter, while the amount of pollen entering the home is reduced. Just like regular screen mesh, pollen screen mesh also keeps mosquitoes, flies and other insects outside.

Which type of screen mesh suits your situation?

At KeJe, you can choose from different types of screen mesh for various window screens and screen doors. Black and grey screen mesh are standard options. For an additional charge, you can also choose special mesh types, such as transparent mesh, pollen screen mesh or petscreen. The best choice depends on your needs.

Regular screen mesh

Regular black or grey screen mesh is the standard choice for most KeJe screens. This mesh effectively keeps insects out while still allowing good ventilation.

Transparent mesh

Would you like the mesh to be as discreet as possible? Then transparent black mesh is a good choice. This type of mesh offers a clearer view outside while still keeping insects out.

Pollen screen mesh

Do you suffer from hay fever? Then pollen screen mesh is the most suitable choice. This mesh helps keep a large amount of pollen outside while allowing you to continue ventilating your home.

Petscreen

Do you have dogs or cats that regularly walk into the screen or scratch it with their claws? Then petscreen is a good solution. This extra-strong mesh is more resistant to damage than standard screen mesh.

Which screens are available with pollen screen mesh?

Not every screen uses the same type of mesh. That is why pollen screen mesh is not available for every product.

At KeJe, you can choose pollen screen mesh for the following screens:

• KeJe Inset Screen
• KeJe Window Screen with Clips
• KeJe Fixed Window Screen
• KeJe Fixed Screen Door
• KeJe Sliding Screen Door

Below you can read which situations these screens are often chosen for.

KeJe Inset Screen

The KeJe Inset Screen is a popular solution for tilt-and-turn windows made of PVC or wood. The screen is installed in the frame without drilling or screws and can easily be removed.

KeJe Window Screen with Clips

The KeJe Window Screen with Clips is also installed without drilling or screws. This screen is suitable for PVC, wooden and aluminium frames and is therefore often chosen for tilt-and-turn windows. Thanks to its versatile applications, it is a practical solution for different types of homes.

KeJe Fixed Window Screen

Looking for a permanent solution for a window that is often open? Then the KeJe Fixed Window Screen is a good choice. This type of screen is often used for roof windows and outward-opening windows, where a strong and fixed installation is important.

Thanks to the fixed installation, the screen fits neatly against the frame. This allows you to ventilate effectively while insects and, in combination with pollen screen mesh, a large amount of pollen remain outside.

KeJe Fixed Screen Door

On warm days, a back door or garden door is often left open. With the KeJe Fixed Screen Door, you can enjoy fresh air without insects entering your home. This screen door is securely installed in the frame and is a durable solution for doors that are used frequently.

KeJe Sliding Screen Door

Do you have a sliding patio door to the garden? Then the KeJe Sliding Screen Door offers a practical solution. The screen door slides smoothly along with the patio door, making it easy to leave the door open for fresh air without insects entering your home.

Why is pollen screen mesh not available for every screen?

Different types of mesh are used within the KeJe range. Some products use pleated mesh. This type of mesh is specifically developed for pleated systems and has a different structure from standard screen mesh. That is why pollen screen mesh is not available for these products.

Pleated mesh is used in products such as:

• Original Pleated Screen Door
• Splendid Pleated Screen Door
• Micro 13 Screen Door
• Midel 22 Screen Door
• Fixed Pleated Screen Door
• Inset Pleated Screen ZIZA
• Fixed Window Screen Plissé
• Supplente

These products are designed for effective insect protection and ease of use, but they cannot be fitted with pollen screen mesh.

Ventilate with less pollen indoors

Fresh air in your home is important, especially on warm days. If you suffer from hay fever, a screen with pollen screen mesh can help keep a large amount of pollen outside while still allowing you to ventilate your home.

KeJe offers pollen screen mesh as an option for various window screens and screen doors. This allows you to choose a solution that suits both your home and your personal needs.
