Living among greenhouses and orchards
Eskiköy is a settlement a few kilometres from Ortaca centre, closely intertwined with greenhouse farming and citrus orchards. A large share of households make their living from agriculture; homes are usually detached buildings set in gardens, with a storeroom or barn alongside. Most houses have been extended over the years, so the same house may have windows of different sizes made in different periods.
Why insect screens are a must
Greenhouses, irrigation ponds and animal shelters keep flies and mosquitoes very close to the house. In Eskiköy screens are requested for nearly every window and door. Self-closing hinged screens are used on doors that are used all day, and fixed-frame or hinged models on windows. For families with dogs and cats or keeping poultry, we recommend thick pet-resistant mesh, as chickens and cats get through ordinary mesh very quickly.
Hot summers, cool winters
Being on the plain, summer afternoons can be very hot and winter mornings cold enough for frost. Old single-glazed windows often suffer heat loss and condensation in winter. If the frame is sound, replacing only the glass unit is the most efficient solution; if the frame is old, switching to uPVC windows is better. On elevations in direct sun, aluminium shutters provide extra coolness.

The advantage of being close
Eskiköy is about 10 minutes from our workshop. Thanks to this, we can arrange survey and installation appointments around the quieter hours of your farm work. Contact us for measurement and pricing for any job, from a single torn mesh to the windows of the whole house.
Crop spraying and dust
During spraying periods in greenhouses and orchards and at harvest time, windows are usually kept closed. Well-seated gaskets and sashes that close fully reduce dust and odours coming in. Rinsing the screen mesh with water after these periods also stops the pores clogging and keeps air flowing.
