We fit sliding mosquito mesh doors across Bengaluru. Homes with sliding balcony or patio doors face the evening dilemma: glass open means air plus mosquitoes, glass shut means neither. A sliding mesh door resolves it with a third leaf: an aluminium-framed stainless mesh door running on its own track beside the glass. Slide the glass away, slide the mesh across, and the room breathes without biting. Built to your opening in your frame colour, from ₹320 per sq ft.
A third leaf for your sliding doorway
Most sliding door systems in Bengaluru flats have two glass leaves in a two-channel track. The mesh door becomes a third leaf: sometimes in an unused third channel your track already has, otherwise on a slim track we add tight against the existing one.
It operates exactly like the glass does, sliding across the opening and parking behind a glass leaf when not wanted, invisible from most angles.
Because it is a framed door and not a stretched net, it takes handling: pushed by shoulders, slid hard, leaned on by the dog at the balcony threshold. This is the mesh for the doorway that works for a living.
Built like a door, meshed like a screen
The frame is aluminium section, powder-coated to match your existing doors, cornered square and sized to your opening's height. Inside it, SS304 stainless mesh, the same weave as our window installations: mosquito-fine, see-through, and indifferent to sun, rain and claws.
Below, proper rollers matched to the track, because a mesh door earns daily mileage and deserves real wheels. Above and along the sides, brush pile seals sweep every edge, and the closing edge carries a soft bumper and a latch, so the door shuts sealed, not just shut.
A kick plate along the bottom rail is standard on ours, taking the feet and paws that end cheaper mesh doors early.
Fitting into your existing doorway
The measuring visit answers the one structural question: third channel or added track. Many builder-fitted door systems have an unused mesh channel already, and the door drops straight in. Where there is none, a slim track mounts against the existing frame, and the visit confirms the clearances honestly before anything is ordered.
Fabrication runs three to five days. Fitting is a couple of hours: track prepared, door hung and rollers height-set, pile seals meeting evenly, latch aligned, and the leaf cycled until it glides true.
Nothing about your glass doors changes. They slide, lock and seal exactly as before, with the mesh leaf as pure addition.
Cost and comparisons
A sliding mesh door runs ₹320 per sq ft, and a standard balcony doorway leaf lands around the ten-thousand mark depending on size. That is above window mesh, because it is door hardware: heavier section, real rollers, seals and latch.
Against pleated mesh, the slider is sturdier per rupee and the better pick where a track channel exists and the opening is standard width. Pleated wins on very wide spans and where no track can go. We fit both and will match the product to your doorway rather than to a brochure.
Maintenance is the sliding-door basics you already know from these pages: a swept track and occasionally rinsed mesh, and the leaf runs for years.
