Do You Need HDB Approval for Insect Screens?
One of the most common questions we get from HDB homeowners is whether they need to apply for a renovation permit before installing insect screens.
The Short Answer
No — as long as the installation doesn't involve drilling into your walls or window frames.
HDB requires renovation permits for works that involve structural changes, hacking, or drilling into common property. Our DinoMesh insect screens are installed using industrial-grade tape and silicone adhesive only. There are no holes, no screws, and no structural modifications.
Why Tape & Silicone?
Our adhesive installation method has several advantages:
- No wall damage — your walls and window frames stay pristine
- No approval needed — skip the permit application process entirely
- Renter-friendly — the screens remove cleanly when you move out
- Fast installation — most rooms done in 1–2 hours
What About Condos?
Most condominiums have similar rules about drilling into external walls and window frames. Our no-drill method is typically compliant with condo management regulations, but we recommend checking with your MCST if you're unsure.
