Irusu Mesh Alternatives in Singapore: 5 Window Screen Options to Compare Before You Buy (2026)

Irusu is one of the names that comes up as soon as you start comparing window mesh in person rather than online. They have a walk-in showroom, a long list of models with their own names, and a clear split between insect-only screens and pet-safe ones, so plenty of people start their shortlist there.

Here is what they publicly offer, going only by their own site: a range of screen models including Latch, Duo-lock V2, Slide, Sleek, 2-in-1, Trackless, MAXL and the MNETIC magnet-friendly panels, each available as insect screening, with four models marked pet-safe: Latch (an easy latch with an optional child-lock add-on), Duo-lock V2 (a scroll lock and an allen key lock, usable together or singly), Slide (a key lock, with a hard steel mesh described as bite-resistant, so it suits birds too) and MAXL (a soft-closing mechanism and dust-resistant hard steel mesh). Their showroom is at LTC Building B in Macpherson, open Monday to Saturday. Load ratings in kg, warranty length and installation method are not published on the pages we checked.

None of that is a reason not to compare. A wide range is useful, and it also means the model you are quoted matters as much as the brand, which is worth checking against a few other installers. So here are five other options with what each does well.

Why compare beyond one brand?

A few practical reasons.

• Model names hide the spec. Two screens with different names can be the same mesh on a different lock, and two with similar names can be very different products. Ask for the mesh material, the lock and the load rating for the specific model quoted, not the range.
• Cats need a number. "Pet-safe" tells you the mesh is tougher than insect screening. It does not tell you what the frame holds. Our guide to the strongest window mesh explains why 50+ kg is the baseline for cat homes and 70+ kg for active cats.
• Quotes vary a lot for the same window. Two providers can quote very differently for the same opening. You only find out by asking more than one.
• Your windows might not be standard. Existing grilles, moving blinds, louvres and tight recesses rule some systems out. Ask before you pay a deposit.

1. Luxus

Luxus markets its retractable screens as invisible mesh on a slim 3 cm frame in two formats: Veltra Slim with no protruding box and Veltra Pro with a mesh box, in a clear LumaWeave polyester or a tear-resistant stainless steel marketed as pet-proof. Frames come in matte black, grey and white, professional installation is included, the warranty is 1 year, and there are showrooms in Woodlands, Tampines and Ubi.

If you like comparing in showrooms, they are the natural next stop after Irusu. Our Luxus alternatives piece covers that corner of the market.

2. MeshMates

We keep the range short on purpose: five retractable models, so the frame matches the job. Base (20+ kg, our most affordable, for insects and chill pets), Sleek (40+ kg, boxless for tight recesses, reinforced stainless steel 316 that can take even pen-knife cuts), Core (50+ kg, our most popular cat mesh, stainless steel 316 or pet mesh), and Pro and Door (both 70+ kg, detachable mesh, 2-in-1 option).

If you were looking at Irusu's pet-safe models, the like-for-like from us is the Core or Pro with pet mesh for a scratcher, or the Core with stainless steel 316 for a calmer cat who wants the view. Every model has a child lock, windows are installed drill-free with tape and silicone, we fit around existing grilles and blinds, and the warranty is 1 year with the first 6 months of service free. No showroom; we bring samples to a free site visit instead.

3. BlindNet

BlindNet's cat mesh is a retractable roller their site rates to hold up to 80 kg, with a built-in key lock, a removable mesh box, a two-roller centre-opening design for wide openings, four frame colours and no permanent drilling into walls. Their 2-in-1 blind plus mesh is worth a look if you were buying blinds anyway, and everything comes with a 3-year warranty.

They are one of the few here who publish a kg figure, which makes them a useful benchmark when you ask others for theirs. Ubi showroom if you want to see it first.

4. Mozziefy

Mozziefy sells four window formats: magnetic, retractable, sliding (with an insect or pet mesh option) and swing (stainless steel 316 mesh), each with its own warranty listed on the page (3 years magnetic, 1 year retractable, 3 years sliding, 2 years swing, mesh excluded). Their pet-friendly screens cover retractable, sliding and swing with lock options on each.

They also do sliding and retractable door screens, so windows and a balcony door can come from one installer. Appointments only. Our Mozziefy alternatives piece goes wider.

5. Magic Cat Mesh

Magic Cat Mesh has focused squarely on cat safety since 2019. Their retractable mesh uses a scratch-resistant vinyl-coated polyester and PVC weave, is described as strong enough for cats up to 20 kg, and closes with a spin lock. Installation is drill-free and removable, they cover balconies as well as windows, and their homepage lists a 1-year warranty on mesh products.

If the cat is the whole reason you are shopping, they belong on the list. Our Magic Cat Mesh alternatives piece covers the cat-focused field.

How to actually compare quotes

Whichever options you shortlist, compare like for like.

• Same openings. Count the exact windows and doors, and get every quote for that same list.
• Same model and mesh. Ask each installer to name the model and the mesh material on the quote, so an insect screen is not compared against a pet screen.
• Load rating for your cat. 50+ kg baseline, 70+ kg for active cats, and ask what the number describes.
• Lock and installation. Child lock or key lock, drilled or drill-free, and what removal looks like at tenancy end.
• Warranty and service. What is covered, for how long, and what happens after.

Frequently asked questions

Which MeshMates model compares to Irusu's pet-safe screens?

The Core (50+ kg) with stainless steel 316 or pet mesh, and the Pro (70+ kg) with pet mesh for super active cats. Both retract, lock, and go up drill-free on windows. Send us photos and we will say which suits each opening.

Is a hard steel mesh better than a coated pet mesh?

They suit different cats. Steel mesh is clear and stands up to biting, which is why it also suits birds. Coated pet mesh takes repeated scratching well but is darker. What keeps a cat in is the load rating of the whole frame, so ask for that whichever mesh you pick. Our best mesh material guide has the trade-offs.

Do I need to visit a showroom to choose?

Not necessarily. Showrooms are useful for feeling the mesh and seeing colours, and Irusu, Luxus and BlindNet all have one. Installers who quote from photos and bring samples to a free site visit, us included, let you check the fit against your own grilles and blinds instead.
