The best type of insect screen depends on your specific needs, the area you want to cover, and your preference for how the screen operates. We offer a variety of options to suit different applications, each with unique benefits:
- Fixed Window Screens: Ideal for windows and other openings where you don’t need to pass through. These are permanently mounted and offer a secure, low-maintenance solution.

How do you install an insect screen onto a door or window?
While our insect screens are designed for straightforward installation, we recommend consulting a professional to ensure a precise and secure fit. This guarantees that the screen functions correctly and offers long-term durability.

How can I remove an insect screen from a window?
The method for removing an insect screen varies depending on the type of insect screen. Some screens are designed for easy removal and simply unlatch from the frame, whereas other systems, such as retractable or fixed screens, may be more complex.
Contact us and we will refer you to a reliable professional, or visit a showroom to see how our screens move and unlatch in person.
How do you remove insects from an insect screen?
To remove insects from your insect screen, a simple dusting or gentle wipe with a soft cloth is usually sufficient. For a deeper clean, you can use a vacuum with a brush attachment to remove debris. You should avoid using any harsh chemicals or coarse brushes that could damage the screen’s delicate mesh.
Contact us or visit a showroom to receive more detailed cleaning advice or tips.
What size mesh will keep mosquitoes away?
To effectively keep mosquitoes and other small insects out, the ideal mesh should have a hole size between 1mm and 1.2mm, which ensures even the smallest pests are kept out and allows you to enjoy your home in comfort.
Contact us today to learn more about our range of insect screen mesh options.
What is the difference between fly screens for windows and insect screens?
The terms “fly screens for windows” and “insect screens” are often used interchangeably. Generally, a fly screen is a type of insect screen specifically designed to keep flies out. However, our premium fly screens for windows and doors are designed to block a wide range of pests, including mosquitoes, bugs, and other insects, making them a comprehensive “insect screen” solution. The fly screen mesh is just a key component of the overall product.
We also sell integrated fly screen shutters, which are a fly screen mesh that is installed onto an existing security shutter. This offers a more sturdy and discreet solution, with our tuff mesh option providing protection from larger animals like reptiles and cats.
Contact us to learn more about these products, or visit a showroom near you to see our range of fly and insect screens for yourself.
How do you clean fly screens or insect screens?
Cleaning fly screens or insect screens is simple.
For regular maintenance, use a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove dust and loose debris.
For a more thorough clean, you can gently wash the screen with a solution of mild soap and water, then rinse it with a hose.
Ensure the screen is completely dry before re-installing it. For screens that are difficult to remove, a damp cloth can be used to wipe them down.
