Mosquito nets without ground guide: no barriers thanks to the total absence of a track on the floor
To meet the need for barrier-free products, some models of floor-mounted mosquito nets are now available. Find out which ones and their characteristics.
The minimal architectural style of the houses and the functional and ergonomic design have recently given a big boost to the world of windows. Today, the designers are asking to create less and less invasive fixtures, which give as much space as possible to the light. The trend is to remove unnecessary clutter with the aim of maximizing comfort in the most modern homes.
The mosquito nets sector was no less: today great goals have been achieved by leading companies in the production of mosquito nets for doors and windows. One of the main obstacles of mosquito nets installed on balconies is represented by the
floor track . Not only is the track for sliding on the ground of the mosquito net ugly from an aesthetic point of view, but it can also be a dangerous impediment for the disabled and the elderly.
Within this article we will go to see which alternative solutions to the floor track currently exist in the offer of customized mosquito nets available online in the Windowo shop.
Mosquito nets without floor space: now stop tripping!
The mosquito nets without encumbrance on the ground are ideal for those with walking problems
Walking disorders are changes in the way you walk usually due to injury or disease of the spinal cord, brain, legs, or feet. They can result in reduced walking speed and loss of regularity, symmetry or synchrony in body movements. Since many organs are involved in walking, there are various types of alterations.
So walking disorders include a series of problems, including the slowing of the speed of gait, the loss of uniformity, symmetry or synchrony of body movements and mainly involve elderly people. In fact, after the age of seventy there is a gradual reduction in musculoskeletal performance.
Unassisted walking requires a lot of attention and adequate muscle strength, as well as good motor control, which is essential for coordinating sensory input and muscle contraction.
Having a mosquito net that does not occupy any space on the ground when it is closed is a great innovation for all people with more or less serious mobility problems. Unfortunately
, a fall or a prosthetic surgery may be sufficient to condition the walk in an irreparable way.
The Scenica insect screen family: three models without ground guide
Using production technologies and patented systems, but maintaining traditional materials (aluminum structure and fiberglass mesh), the Bettio company has managed to create a truly revolutionary type of mosquito net. The Scenica family of mosquito nets
is side-scrolling made up exclusively of a box and an upper guide, no lateral profile and no track on the ground. Highly recommended for large openings, it can cover passages up to 4 meters with two wings. A special "handle bar" allows the mosquito net to be locked in any position, without retracting it and keeping it perfectly tensioned. Ergonomically perfect and easy to operate, the Scenica mosquito net
definitively eliminates the problem of architectural barriers and can also be used in places frequented by children and the elderly.
The products of the Scenica family, unique in their kind, are roll-up mosquito nets equipped with a patented mechanism that
allows the handle bar to be stopped at any point of its stroke , without the aid of the classic floor rail or the hooking profile on the wall. All this while keeping the net always perfectly taut.
There are currently three models of Scenica mosquito nets, (the classic Scenica, the Miniscenica Evo model that can be installed without holes and Picoscenica suitable for smaller spaces). Each of these versions can be made with one or two leaves (based on the measurements of the compartment on which the mosquito net will be installed).
"Tank" mosquito nets with retractable track to avoid architectural barriers
Thanks to the invention of the lower track with retractable tracks, it is now possible to buy mosquito nets without a lower track. The operating principle is similar to that of tracked tanks (in fact it is often called a
mosquito net with tank ). The tracked lower guide can contain a windproof system inside, to prevent the net from coming out easily. The rail disappears inside the handle bar. This allows a
total absence of a lower track , avoiding the creation of any form of architectural barrier.
CURIOSITY : architectural barrier is defined as any constructive element that prevents, limits or makes it difficult to move around or use services (especially for people with limited motor or sensory ability, that is, people with disabilities). In short, a set of circumstances that constitute a physical obstacle makes people who have movement difficulties more or less disabled, either temporarily or permanently, consequently creating further discomfort, both physical and psychological. Fortunately, in the last twenty years of the twentieth century a social awareness of this problem has developed and through a series of legislative measures a progressive adaptation of the cities has begun both as regards the elimination of existing architectural barriers, and to design open spaces, public buildings and structures that do not present obstacles for people.
The removal of architectural barriers is an objective of primary importance, both at urban and building level. Scenica, Miniscenica Evo and Picoscenica Bettio are mosquito nets that do not have any obstacles on the floor. The operation is given by a mobile "tank" track, which hides inside the box when the mosquito net is opened.

"The track allows you to slide the mosquito net on the floor as if it were a retractable sliding door. When I leave it at any point it remains stationary, straight on its track, without moving. When the children forget it open it remains motionless. If it had had a spring, on the other hand, would have returned violently. Finally, the fact of not stepping on a floor profile makes it unique. " Luciana G., review about the Miniscenica Evo mosquito net purchased on Windowo in June 2019
