Nottingham blends historic architecture with two large universities, creating a diverse housing stock – from Victorian terraces in The Park to purpose‑built student flats in the city centre. This guide covers insect screens for every home type.
Victorian & Edwardian Terraces (The Park, Mapperley, West Bridgford)
These homes feature sash or casement windows with original timber frames. Drilling is often prohibited. Adhesive velcro screens are perfect – they install in minutes, leave no damage, and are invisible from outside. For owners wanting a permanent solution, retractable screens that mount on the window lining are a good option.
Student & Rental Flats (City Centre, Lenton, Beeston)
If you’re a student or tenant, you cannot drill. Magnetic mosquito nets are ideal – they attach with adhesive tape and can be removed at the end of your tenancy. For windows, adhesive screens (cut‑to‑size rolls) work well. Both options leave no residue.
Modern Apartments (Nottingham Waterside, Trent Basin)
New builds have large sliding windows and balcony doors. Top‑hung pleated screens (no floor track) preserve the modern aesthetic – they slide on an overhead rail and have no bottom track to collect dust. For sliding windows, retractable screens are unobtrusive.
Mosquito Protection & Mesh Choice
Nottingham has several waterways (River Trent, Nottingham Canal) that attract mosquitoes. Use fine mesh (20‑22 holes per inch) to block midges. Polyester (PET) is sufficient for most homes; choose 304 stainless steel for riverside properties or if you have pets.
