Vct 30 Report post Posted March 15, 2014 Okay, will keep a look out for your DIY screen Thanks for pointing out about the main door as well. May have to add in a kerb then.. additional cost..... Not sure if attaching a rubber at the bottom of the door can keep them out though, got to check it out with my ID. The rubber looks something like the below:You can install this rubber but if the rubber is too soft, lizards n roaches will still be able to squeeze through.Another thing, since rubber cause friction when opening/closing, it will be sweeping your floor and dirt/dust will be trap below. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vct 30 Report post Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) Your contractor/ID should be able to do the small curb for u FOC. Its not a big item anyway.I will be getting this http://www.amazon.com/Window-Sealed-Hollow-Rubber-Adhesive/dp/B005XITHE4 or this http://www.amazon.com/M-D-Building-Products-1025-All-Climate/dp/B000HE7YQM/ref=pd_bxgy_e_text_z/178-3472156-0263934 to stick on the curb so that when u close the door, hopefully it will be able to prevent whatever crawlers from entering.

Vct 30 Report post Posted March 15, 2014 I'll check out how u gonna do the insects thingy! I'm scared of those crawlers too ..... Im not too disturb by the insects/crawlers but wifey n kids detest n at the same time afraid of "them". To make things worst, my unit is very low so........ Lol....Oh btw jiawen, u need to check if there's gaps in between the walls n your window grills, if not its pointless to install the insect screen. If no grills just windows then ok. I've got my contractor to fill silicon at the window grills sitting at my wall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've got my contractor to fill silicon at the window grills sitting at my wall.Another thing noted! I will have grills coz of safety reasons.

guojiawen 101 Report post Posted March 17, 2014 Wow! Thanks, guojiawen! I would most likely choose the first vendor for DIY. Saves a lot more $! I asked for bulk purchase pricing from him.. Additional 10% discount if purchase is $1000 or more.Any renotalkers want to purchase?After reading through I will take note to ask my ID/contractor to build a kerb there ... Yup. Very helpful suggestion from Vct! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
