Mosquito Net Price in Chennai: Honest Per-Sq-Ft Rates for Every Type
Most mosquito net "price" pages in Chennai quote one vague band — ₹200 to ₹550 per sq ft — and leave you guessing which system that even buys. This page does the opposite: a separate, honest rate for every net type, an explanation of what actually moves your final number, and a worked example for a full 2BHK. No visit charge, no verbal estimates — just the figures we'd put in writing after measuring your openings.
Chennai mosquito net price list (2026)
These are the rates we install at across Chennai. Every figure is a per-square-foot rate; the total for any opening is rate × area, confirmed on a written quote after a free measurement. This same live price table appears on our homepage.
| Net system | Rate (₹/sq ft) | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Velcro / magnetic net | ₹35 | Rented homes, quick fixes, single windows — cheapest, but the shortest life in Chennai humidity |
| Openable aluminium-frame net | ₹140 | Standard windows and main doors that need to swing open — the value all-rounder |
| Invisible grill | ₹160 | Balconies and high-rise openings needing child/pet safety plus airflow (316 SS cable) |
| Roller shutter net | ₹220 | Windows where you want the net to roll away out of sight when not in use |
| SS 304 stainless mesh | ₹250 | Doors and windows facing kids, pets or the street — tear-proof, doubles as light security |
| Pleated net (Pleatpro) | ₹300 | Wide balcony sliders and French doors — collapses into a slim stack, needs almost no clearance |
| Sliding net (Slidemax) | ₹350 | UPVC and aluminium sliding windows — runs parallel to your existing shutters |
Rates indicative, per sq ft, GST extra. Written quote issued after a free on-site measurement. Very small openings such as bathroom ventilators may carry a practical minimum because a site visit and fabrication have a base effort regardless of size.
What actually moves your price
The per-sq-ft rate is only the starting point. Four things decide the number on your final quote:
- System / mechanism — a velcro net and a sliding system are ten times apart in rate because one is a strip of fabric and the other is framed hardware on its own track. Pick the mechanism your opening actually needs, not the cheapest one.
- Opening area — total square footage is what you're billed on. A 3-ft bathroom window and a 7-ft balcony slider at the same rate produce very different totals.
- Mesh grade — fiberglass versus SS 304 stainless is the most common upgrade decision. SS 304 costs more but is tear-proof against kids, pets and street exposure.
- Frame finish — solid shades like Elite White or Ebony sit at the base rate; wood-finish shades such as Walnut, Teak and Deep Teak price above them.
Worked example: what a 2BHK actually costs
Rate cards are abstract, so here is how a real 2BHK adds up. Assume a home with roughly six standard windows, one main door and one balcony slider:
- Windows on openable frames (₹140/sq ft) or sliding systems (₹350/sq ft) depending on the window type — the biggest single line item.
- Main door on an openable aluminium-frame net (₹140/sq ft), sized to the full door opening.
- Balcony slider on a pleated system (₹300/sq ft) so it collapses out of the way.
Add it up and most 2BHK homes land between ₹20,000 and ₹45,000 in total. The spread is wide for an honest reason: how many openings you net, whether you choose fiberglass or SS 304, and whether any openings need sliding or pleated hardware. The only way to replace this range with a real figure is a measurement of your specific openings.

Prices for the same net vary wildly across Chennai suppliers — and the gap is usually about what's left unsaid, not the quality. When you compare quotes, insist on three things:
1. A per-system rate, not a blended band
"₹200–550 per sq ft" is not a price — it's a range that lets the total drift upward once work starts. Ask which system the rate is for and get it in writing. Our openable nets are ₹140 and our sliding systems ₹350; there is no single number that honestly covers both.
2. No visit or inspection charge
Some Chennai services bill ₹149 or more just to send someone to measure. Our measurement visit is free, and you're under no obligation after it.
3. The frame and mesh spec in writing
A cheap quote often means a lighter frame that warps in a couple of monsoons. Every quote should name the frame — ours is 6063 T6 powder-coated aluminium with a 10-year rust-proof warranty — and the mesh grade. Full specifications are on the manufacturer's site, Aluguard Systems.
Prices by opening type
Different openings pull toward different systems, so the sensible rate for each is not the same. Our type-specific guides break the numbers down further:
- Windows — sliding, openable and roller options compared in the window mosquito net guide.
- Doors — openable, pleated and foldable systems and their per-door totals in the door mosquito net guide.
- Bathroom windows & ventilators — the small-opening minimum and exhaust-fan fitting explained in the bathroom & ventilator guide.
Every system named here is fabricated in-house at the Chennai workshop; recent jobs are in the installation gallery, and the full product range sits under all systems and rates.
Mosquito net price FAQs
What is the price of a mosquito net per sq ft in Chennai?
Indicative per-sq-ft rates: velcro/magnetic ₹35, openable aluminium-frame ₹140, invisible grill ₹160, roller shutter ₹220, SS 304 stainless mesh ₹250, pleated ₹300, sliding ₹350. GST is extra; every figure is confirmed in a written quote after a free on-site measurement.
How much to net a full 2BHK home in Chennai?
Most 2BHK homes land between ₹20,000 and ₹45,000 in total, depending on how many openings you cover, the systems chosen and fiberglass versus SS 304 mesh. Total opening area — not the rate alone — decides the final figure, so a free measurement is the only accurate way to price it.
Why are these rates lower than other Chennai quotes?
Many listings quote a single blended ₹200–550/sq ft band that hides which system you're paying for. We publish a separate honest rate per system, and there's no visit or inspection charge — the measurement is free.
Is GST included in the price?
No. All per-sq-ft rates are indicative and GST is charged extra on the final invoice. Your written quote shows the system, area, rate and applicable tax so there are no surprises at installation.
Does a smaller window cost less than a bigger one?
The per-sq-ft rate is the same, but very small openings like bathroom ventilators can carry a practical minimum because a site visit and fabrication have a base effort. Larger openings like balcony sliders cost more in total because they use more frame, track and mesh.
