Bird nets for windows explained
A window screened with a proper bird net stays open for air but closed to birds.
For windows we cut the net to the frame and use concealed clips so the finish looks tidy. We check the window type and handles before choosing the net and clips.
What matters for bird nets for windows in Pune
Pigeons are a well-known concern for Pune housing societies, both for the mess they leave on balconies, ducts and parked vehicles and because of the health worries linked to dried droppings. They favour dry balconies, AC ledges and open duct shafts. A properly sealed net closes these spaces without harming the birds, and netting the duct along with the balcony stops them simply moving next door.
Pune lies about 560 metres above sea level on the eastern side of the Western Ghats. The south-west monsoon brings heavy rain from June to September, summers are hot and dry, and winters are cool. Nets need to be UV-stabilised for the summer sun and fitted with stainless fixings for the long wet season. Being inland, 304-grade stainless steel is normally enough for invisible grills.
Pune's housing is organised around co-operative housing societies, from the older low-rise buildings of Kothrud, Aundh and Sahakar Nagar to the large gated townships of Hinjewadi, Wakad, Baner, Kharadi and Hadapsar. The IT parks at Hinjewadi, Kharadi and Magarpatta have driven a wave of high-rise construction, and neighbouring Pimpri-Chinchwad has grown just as quickly.
The case for bird nets for windows
The main reasons people book bird nets for windows are:
- Birds tear at cables, insulation and soft furnishings around the window, causing repair costs.
- Sparrows and small birds slip through wide-mesh netting and nest inside the window, so the mesh must match the bird.
- Droppings and food scraps on the window attract flies and ants, creating hygiene problems.
