Mosquito net for windows costs ₹120 to ₹380 per square foot in Bengaluru, fitted, before GST. Where you land depends on which type you pick. New mesh in the frames you already own is the cheapest at ₹120. A made-to-size openable frame is ₹190. A pleated folding door for a wide balcony is the dearest at ₹380. This page prices all six types, works out a normal window and a whole flat, and says plainly what makes the number move.
What a normal window actually comes to
Mesh is sold by the square foot, so the first thing to work out is your window's area. Measure the opening in feet, width times height. A common Bengaluru bedroom window is about 4 ft by 4 ft, which is 16 sq ft.
At ₹190 per sq ft, that window in a made-to-size openable frame comes to about ₹3,000. The same window re-meshed in its existing frame, at ₹120, is about ₹1,900. A small kitchen or bathroom window of 3 ft by 2 ft is 6 sq ft, so about ₹1,150 in a new frame.
A balcony sliding mesh door is bigger and dearer. A 3 ft by 7 ft leaf is 21 sq ft, so about ₹6,700 at ₹320.
A whole 2BHK with six windows and one balcony door usually lands between ₹22,000 and ₹30,000, depending on the sizes and the types you pick. We give you the exact figure after measuring, window by window.
Why the six types cost different amounts
The mesh itself is a small part of the price. What you are really paying for is the frame and the way it moves.
Re-meshing at ₹120 has no frame at all in it. We reuse yours, so you pay for mesh, fresh spline cord and the work.
Balcony mesh at ₹140 is a simple framed grid over one big opening, so the framing is spread thin over a lot of area.
Magnetic at ₹170 adds a light panel and a steel band, and buys you a mesh that peels off in seconds.
An openable frame at ₹190 is a proper made-to-size aluminium frame with hinges or a slide.
A sliding mesh door at ₹320 is door hardware: a heavier section, real rollers, brush seals on four edges and a latch.
Pleated at ₹380 is a mechanism, not a frame. Creased mesh, tensioned cords and machined rails, which is what lets one span cover three metres.
Cheap mesh and what it costs later
You will be quoted less than these rates. It is worth knowing exactly what is different.
The common cheap offer is fibreglass net on velcro or a light frame. It works on day one. Bengaluru sun makes it brittle within two or three seasons, and it tears at a corner where nobody notices for weeks. Then you pay again.
SS304 stainless mesh costs more per square foot and does not do that. It is woven steel wire, it does not brittle in sun or rust in monsoon, and it takes a bird strike or a cat without tearing.
The other quiet difference is the frame. A frame cut to your window to the millimetre seals all round. A stock-size frame packed out with foam leaves gaps at the corners, and a mosquito needs one gap.
We quote the stainless build as standard and fit fibreglass only if you ask, with its shorter life said plainly.
What is included, and what GST adds
Every rate on this page covers the mesh, the frame, the sealing strip where the frame meets your window, and the fitting. The measuring visit is part of the job, not a separate bill.
GST is extra and shows on its own line, so nothing is buried in the rate.
There is no charge for coming to measure, and no minimum order for mesh, though one small window on its own is a whole trip for us and it is worth adding the rest of the house to the same visit.
What is not included: any grille or safety work. Mesh is insect screening, and it is not a child barrier. If a window needs a grille as well, that is a different job and we say so rather than letting mesh look like safety.
