Night-Time Benefits Of Insect Screens

Here at Appeal Shading, we know the importance of a good night’s sleep. We’re more likely to experience mental and physical health problems if we don’t get enough rest and getting through a working day when you’ve had a disturbed night can be very unpleasant. In the past, we’ve spoken at length about the benefits of blackout blinds for helping you drift off, but there’s another unsung hero of peaceful nights; insect screens. 

Yes, you read that correctly. Insect screens can help you drift off at night and get some much-needed shuteye. That might sound unusual, but it’s true, and here’s how.

A Quieter Night

The night-time advantages of fly screens first occurred to us when the weather started getting warmer. We’re in the final weeks of spring and we’re finally getting some much-needed sunshine, but as the sunlight increases, so does the heat. And it’s only going to get hotter as we head into summer. 

Trying to get to sleep when your bedroom is incredibly hot and stuffy isn’t always easy. We’ve all experienced nights with the air conditioning on full and the bed covers thrown aside, trying in vain to keep cool. One way to bring the temperature down is to maintain the airflow and have the windows wide open, and this is where fly screens can help.

Keeping Out Unwanted Guests

Insects can be a serious problem when trying to get to sleep. Their numbers increase during the summer and they don’t take the night off, so sometimes people are understandably reluctant to open their windows. One of our marketing team was woken up when he was a teenager by four angry wasps flying into his bedroom and spent hours trying to chase them back out. If he’d had insect screens installed, he wouldn’t have had this problem, or accidentally fallen asleep in a Maths lesson the next day.

Our full range of insect screens for windows is designed to keep unwanted visitors at bay, without restricting airflow. They’re fitted with a ClearVu mesh that allows the cool night air to blow through your room, but they’ll also stop all the moths, mosquitos and other bugs from flying in at will. And if you’re worried about them being unsightly, don’t be. All our fly screens are discreet and transparent. In fact, we’ve started supplying them with little visibility stickers shaped like butterflies so homeowners remember they’re there. We’ve had reports of customers and their pets walking into the screens because they don’t notice them.

In other words, while it might seem a bit strange at first, insect screens really can make a difference when the weather heats up. It can be awfully uncomfortable during the height of summer, but if you install our modern insect screens, you’ll be able to keep the windows open all night and not worry about being disturbed.
