Insect screen fitting in Kenya

Insect screens measured and fitted for specific openings without obstructing necessary ventilation or access.

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional sample order: Two removable insect screens for ordinary windows, each approximately 0.8 m by 1.0 m, subject to actual opening measurements and a prototype frame. Keep ventilation, window handles, cleaning access and any required exit operable. Insect mesh is not a security grille, child-fall barrier or guarantee against disease. Exclude elevated external work and alterations to rated windows.

Who is the first customer?
