Inviting fresh air into your home is a welcome relief, but without fly screens, you’re also attracting unwelcome insects. Luckily there are many different types of fly screens and even more material options.
While there are many different styles of fly screens available, there are three main types to consider.
Commonly referred to as roller screen doors, retractable screens are a roll of mesh that’s contained within a housing (cassette). As you pull the screen along top and bottom tracks, the mesh unrolls and extends to provide complete protection from insects.
Retractable screens work in a similar way as a roller blind, only instead of fabric they use insect screen mesh. They can be fitted horizontally or vertically and in keeping with the design of your home.
Retractable screens are designed to pass unnoticed, incorporating small tracks, discrete fittings, and a range of sizes and colors depending on your design requirements.
Instead of having mesh that rolls into a cassette like a retractable fly screen, pleated fly screens work like an accordion or concertina. This means that once the pleats are retracted, they fold and stack back onto each other with ease.
Pleated fly screens have less tension than retractable screens as they don’t require a spring-loaded tube like retractable fly screens do. This makes pleated fly screens a good option for children and the elderly, requiring very little muscle strength to open and close.
Pleated screens feature sleek, modern design that blends seamlessly into the existing door frame. There are no clunky additions; just clean, minimal execution.
Sliding insect screens are made for both sliding doors and windows. The fly screen’s frame is mounted on tracks, so it can be easily slid along an additional track that runs parallel to the doors or windows.
