Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between fly screens and security screens?

Fly screens are designed to keep insects out and let air in — they use light fibreglass or aluminium mesh and are not built to resist forced entry. Security screens use tested stainless mesh and a security-rated frame. If you want insect control only, fly screens are the cost-effective choice; if you want protection too, ask about security screens.

Should I choose retractable or fixed fly screens?

Fixed fly screens are simpler, cheaper and ideal for windows and openings you leave screened year-round. Retractable fly screens roll away out of sight when not needed, which suits French doors, bifolds and feature openings where you want a clear view. We can fit either, measured to the opening.

Can I get pet-resistant fly screen mesh?

Yes. Standard insect mesh tears easily under claws, so for homes with cats or dogs we can fit heavier pet-resistant mesh that stands up to scratching and pushing while still keeping insects out and airflow moving. It is a popular upgrade on doors pets use to reach the yard.

How much do fly screens cost?

Fly screens are measured to fit, so the price depends on the opening size, the mesh you choose and whether it is a fixed or retractable system. They are generally our most affordable screening option. Send the window or door type and approximate sizes and we will give you a measured quote.

Can you replace fly screens on existing windows and doors?

Yes. Re-screening tired or torn fly screens is one of our most common jobs — we can rescreen existing frames or supply new made-to-measure screens to suit your windows, sliding doors and hinged doors across the Sutherland Shire.
