Hobart, Tasmania’s capital, is known for its stunning harbour, historic sandstone buildings, and cool, clean air. But even in Tasmania, mosquitoes and flies can be a nuisance, especially near the Derwent River and during warmer months. Whether you own a heritage cottage in Battery Point, a modern house in Sandy Bay, or a rural property in the Huon Valley, the right mosquito screen will let you enjoy fresh air without insects.
Heritage Sandstone Cottages & Georgian Homes (Battery Point, Hobart CBD, Richmond)
These historic properties have original timber windows and French doors. Drilling into old sandstone or rare timber is not permitted. The solution is a custom mosquito screen with adhesive velcro mounting – no tools, no damage, and completely invisible from the street. For front doors, a magnetic mosquito screen is perfect for tenants and owners who cannot alter heritage fabric.
Modern Suburbs & New Builds (Kingston, Howrah, Glenorchy)
Newer homes have uPVC or aluminium windows. A retractable mosquito screen or a sliding screen door is popular for sliding doors. For windows, pleated mosquito screens (accordion style) take up less space and are easy to operate. Many homeowners also choose roll up mosquito screens for kitchen windows.
Rural & Semi‑Rural Properties (Huon Valley, Channel Highway, Derwent Valley)
Homes in rural areas face stronger insect pressure, especially near rivers and orchards. A heavy duty mosquito screen with 304 stainless steel mesh is recommended – it lasts longer and resists scratching from livestock or pets. For large sheds or workshops, a folding mosquito screen on a sliding track is ideal.
Tasmanian Climate & Material Choice
Tasmania’s cool, humid climate and occasional salt spray near the coast require durable materials. 304 stainless steel mesh is the most rust‑resistant and will last decades. PET polyester mesh is also suitable for inland homes and is more affordable. Avoid fibreglass – it degrades quickly in humidity.
Custom Sizing for Non‑Standard Windows
Many older Hobart homes have non‑standard window sizes (e.g., arched tops, narrow proportions). Off‑the‑shelf screens will not fit properly. MBORMC manufactures custom mosquito screens to your exact measurements – whether for insect screen windows, door mosquito screens, or fly screen doors. We ship directly to any TAS postcode.
