Hi
We have Louvre windows in our room, and I like to install insect screen for the Summer.
We currently closed our windows at night to minimise mosquito activity.
It is getting warm and unfortunately, we are unable to install air conditioner due to the lack of solid wall.
Would you be able to advise me on this?
Please find the pic of the window for your reference.
Hi @Sunda,
Could we also please trouble you for a photo of the outside of the window? Just want to see if there's enough clearance to add a flyscreen to the exterior side without impacting the louvres. It's certainly not uncommon to have flyscreens on louve windows - we do at home.
Thanks,
Jason
Hello @Sunda
Thanks for sharing your question about installing an insect screen on your louvre windows. If you can access the outside frame of your window, I suggest adding an extra frame in front of it using 70 x 35mm Outdoor Framing H3 Treated Pine - 2.4m. The purpose of the frame is to provide a gap between the insect screen that I'm about to suggest and the windowpane of your louvre window. Once the frame has been secured to the front of your window, I suggest having a look at this guide - How to build a flyscreen frame.
Once you've built your flyscreen secure it to the new frame you've installed in front of your window. You should now be able to open your window in the evenings. I also suggest having a look at Dynabreeze 450mm Oscillating Floor Fan to cool off your evenings.
If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

Thank you Jason.
I have attached the external of the louvre window for your reference.
Hope that helps?
Hi @Sunda,
Given your louvres extend out that far, it sounds like @EricL's solution of extending the frame to accommodate them would be the best solution. It doesn't look like you'd need quite as thick a timber as 70 x 35mm and could likely get away with a thinner Tas Oak moulding.
Let us know if you have any questions on how to go about doing so.
