Window fly screens

We supply new screens made to measure for the window rather than re-meshing old frames, because old frames are often bent, brittle or the wrong size, and a new frame with new mesh costs little more than a re-mesh. You can change the mesh type at the same time.

UltraVue if you want the clearest view and the most light; its fine 0.20 mm strands suit windows that are looked through rather than handled. Standard fibreglass if cost matters most. For a child's bedroom above ground level, the question changes to fall prevention, and the BasiX screen is built for that.

From the inside, because the window pushes outward. Where you need to reach the winder or handle, the screen gets a small opening section or a hinged frame so you can operate the window without removing the screen. We decide the method at the measure, window by window, since not every awning is the same.

They reduce it rather than stop it. A tighter mesh like sand-fly mesh catches more airborne material than standard mesh, and any screen lets you open windows without the larger debris. If allergies are the reason you are screening, mention it at the measure and we will suggest the mesh with the tightest weave that still gives you airflow.

Yes. Whole-house jobs are made in one frame colour and one mesh unless you ask otherwise, so every window looks the same from the street. We did a ten-unit block in Toowong this way in white. Bring the body corporate by-laws to the measure if there are any.

No. A window fly screen keeps insects out and is not designed to resist a push or a blade. If you want windows you can leave open at night, look at window security screens in stainless or perforated aluminium mesh, which lock into the frame and are tested for forced entry.

Fibreglass mesh can fade and go brittle after years of direct sun, so north and west windows age faster. Aluminium and stainless mesh resist UV and corrosion better. Every mesh carries a 1-year warranty.
