An insect screen and a cat protection net may occupy the same opening, but they are not the same layer. A fly screen is often removable, lightweight, mounted in a shallow track, or designed only to keep insects out. Treating it as a verified cat-net boundary or fixing frame can create a hidden mismatch. A good survey names each layer, demonstrates how it moves or is removed, records the stable substrate, and decides which functions must remain after installation. The result can retain both products where the exact window permits, but compatibility has to be designed rather than inferred from appearance.
Map Every Layer in the Opening
which glass sash, insect screen, shutter, grille, frame, reveal, and cat-net plane are present or proposed For this cat net existing insect screen separate functions task, the responsible team should draw a simple inside-to-outside section and label moving, removable, and fixed components. At map every layer in the opening, verify the cat net existing insect screen separate functions condition together with its identity before the working state changes.
At the map every layer in the opening stage, retain opening ID, layer order, component names, operating direction, track, frame depth, and wide photographs. Link each photograph, count, mark, drawing, or note to the cat net existing insect screen separate functions item it describes. For map every layer in the opening, keep the location and responsible role beside opening ID, layer order, component names, operating direction, track, frame depth, and wide photographs so the next reviewer can repeat the check.
A layer that looks fixed in one photo may be removable or move on another track. That boundary governs cat net existing insect screen separate functions, not a different product or site. When evidence supports several interpretations, route the cat net existing insect screen separate functions uncertainty through map every layer in the opening to the role authorized by this release condition: the project team shares one opening diagram.

Buyer Checklist
- Draw the layer order because window, screen, and net can occupy different planes.
- Name the function and product identity of each mesh separately.
- Demonstrate sash movement and insect-screen removal before defining the net boundary.
- Use a verified stable substrate instead of assuming the screen frame can carry the net.
- Preserve track, drainage, glazing, and cleaning access.
- Control any removable net component through a designed handover method.
- Reinspect after screens, tracks, handles, or window hardware change.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can an insect screen replace a cat net?
An insect screen should not be treated as a verified cat protection product unless its supplier and installation system explicitly establish that separate use.
Can the insect screen remain after cat-net installation?
Often it may remain when the exact opening, movement, fixing, removal, and cleaning requirements are compatible. Confirm this on site.
Which layer should be installed first?
The sequence depends on the window, screen, net system, substrate, access, and installer method. Approve the full layer and maintenance plan before installation.
