Singapore is a global leader in dengue prevention, yet the battle against Aedes mosquitoes continues. In 2025, the National Environment Agency (NEA) reported over 46,000 dengue cases nationwide – a stark reminder that every household must take active measures. For the 80% of Singaporeans living in HDB flats, installing mosquito screens presents a unique challenge: HDB renovation guidelines prohibit drilling into window frames, and tenants cannot make permanent alterations. The solution? Self‑adhesive velcro screens – no drilling, no damage, and proven to reduce mosquito entry by 99%.
🦟 Singapore’s Dengue Problem: Why Window Screens Are Essential
The Aedes aegypti mosquito, responsible for transmitting dengue, breeds in clean, stagnant water – often inside homes. However, the primary entry point for mosquitoes is through open windows. Many HDB residents keep windows open for natural ventilation, especially in high‑rise flats with good airflow. Without screens, every open window is an invitation for mosquitoes. The NEA strongly advises fitting window screens as a basic preventive measure, but many homeowners and tenants are deterred by the thought of drilling into frames.
Traditional fixed‑frame screens require screws or brackets, which may void tenancy deposits or breach HDB guidelines. As a result, fly‑screen adoption rates in HDB estates remain low despite high dengue risk. This gap led to the widespread adoption of removable self‑adhesive velcro screens – a game‑changer for rental‑friendly mosquito protection.
🏢 The MBORMC H05 Project: 200+ HDB Units, Zero Drilling, 99% Reduction
Between June 2025 and March 2026, MBORMC supplied custom‑made self‑adhesive velcro screens (model H05) to over 200 HDB flats and condominium units across multiple Singapore estates, including Tampines, Hougang, Sengkang, and Bukit Batok. The project was a collaboration with a large property management company serving both home owners and tenants. The key requirements were clear:
- ✔ No drilling or permanent alteration – fully removable without residue.
- ✔ Custom fit for all window types – sliding, casement, louvre, and awning windows.
- ✔ Easy to clean and long‑lasting – must withstand Singapore’s humidity.
- ✔ Renter‑friendly – tenants can remove the screens before moving out, leaving no marks.
The solution was the MBORMC H05 Magic Tape Self‑Adhesive Fly Screen with a white border that blends with HDB window frames and a grey 304 stainless steel mesh (18×16 density). The screens were cut exactly to each window’s dimensions (width up to 2,000mm, height up to 2,000mm). Installation took less than five minutes per window – clean the frame, peel the backing paper, stick the hook‑and‑loop tape, and press the screen into place.
📊 Proven Results: 99% Mosquito Reduction & Positive Resident Feedback
After the rollout, the property management conducted a survey across the 200+ units. The results were remarkable:
- 99% reduction in resident mosquito complaints during peak dengue season.
- Zero reports of screen damage from pets or daily use – the 304 stainless steel mesh proved extremely durable.
- 100% of tenants reported that the screens did not affect window operation.
- Over 90% said they would recommend the screens to neighbours.
“I was worried about sticking anything to my window frame. But the tape left no residue when I removed it for cleaning, and my 4‑room flat has not seen a single mosquito since installation. My kids can now keep their windows open at night without me worrying about dengue.”
— Mrs. Tan Lee Hua, Hougang HDB resident
