Hi peanut,
I would say you are better going to one of the pvc window companies for the seals. Islatold do the mozi screens but if you can wait then Avosdim do them online. Self assembly aluminium frame & reinforced mesh, we did all ours with them & great product, perfect finish & look great. HTH

If you want the diy mossi nets that fit on the inside of the frame with a self adhesive Velcro strip, Ferreteria Fuerteventura on C/ Barquillos in Rosario stock them.
For the door seals, Alucan, C/ El Aloe in Rosario sell rolls of the insert strip. Take a sample piece with you as it is essential that the part of the rubber that slides into frame is correct. On an older door that didn't match the strip now used we used a white (they only had white) self adhesive draft proofing strip purchased from Saavedra on C/ Barquillos in Rosario.
Hope that helps.

Hi Peanut,

As Chollis stated, Alucan do sell the rubber strips but only in rolls (250m I think), I took a sample in and they matched it. Not sure if your doors and windows are the same but I've got a 'Z' shaped seal and an 'O' ring seal on each. I needed the 'O' seal - cost was just under 50 euros for the box.

Also got some mossy nets installed by shop in La Oliva, sorry can't remember their name. The shop also sells sun awnings etc. It is located on the corner of Ave. General Franco and Calle Roman Gonzalez Brito. The matched the colour of our existing window frame and look quite good as they retract when you don't need them.
