There are three different types of insects screens on the market. Fixed and Magnetic. Here are their characteristics:
Fixed insect screens refer to is an insect screen that is held taught by a fixed frame. Your typical window screen, hinged or sliding door are all examples of fixed insect screens.
Incredibly versatile, these insect screens can be specified with a huge range of options to suit your needs.
They are the most common flyscreens we sell and it&#;s easy to see why. They&#;re cheap, versatile and functional and there is a wide variety of options, accessories and colours that you can choose from.
For awning windows that do not use a chain-winder mechanism, and for virtually all casement windows, we recommend using magnetic insect screens.
Magnetic fly screens are a favourite for use in &#;Queenslander&#; style homes and other styles that use push out awning and casement windows. Push out windows are those where the windows push out from the inside so screening externally is not practical while screening internally requires access through or around the screen to get to the window handles and catches.
A Magnetic screens border frame is flexible. It allows you to lift the screen to gain access around the screens for opening or closing your windows effortlessly.
Due to this flexible design, magnetic screens require a more robust insect mesh and we specify patio & pool fly mesh in all our magnetic insect screens.
Note: Paw proof and other stiff mesh materials like aluminium or stainless insect mesh are unsuitable for Magnetic insect screens.
If your home is in a bushfire zone, your house needs to be BAL rating compliant (You can check the Guide to Windows and Doors in Bushfire Prone Areas here). There are aluminium or stainless insect screens available for this purpose. This way you and your family are as safe as possible. Note: Always follow directions from the Authorities during bushfires and have a bushfire plan in place.
If you are looking for a cheap solution for your house, fixed fly screens are the cheapest ones you can install in your house.
Magnetic screens are slightly more expensive than fixed screens, but they&#;re still a budget-friendly option for homes that use push out awning and casement windows.

Fly screens aren&#;t classified as a security product. So if you are looking for some level of security besides being free from insects, you need to get security screens.

Keep in mind that insect screens are designed to provide ventilation while keeping insects out.
They will NOT prevent a child&#;s fall from a window. (Check here which Type and Grade of Screens are safely able to prevent children from falling out of any window).

Flyscreens are an essential addition to any home, offering a barrier against pesky insects while allowing fresh air and natural light to flow freely. However, with various options available, choosing the right flyscreen can be a daunting task. In this comprehensive guide, we'll walk you through the key factors to consider when selecting the perfect flyscreen for your home.
The first step in choosing the right flyscreen is identifying its purpose and location. Are you looking to protect your bedroom from mosquitoes, create an insect-free dining area, or secure your entire home? Different locations may require different types of flyscreens, such as window screens, door screens, or even retractable screens for larger openings.
Whether you are looking for standard flyscreens or security screens, they come in various materials, each with its own set of advantages. Here are some common options:
The type of mesh you choose can significantly impact your flyscreen's effectiveness. Opt for a fine mesh to keep out even the tiniest insects. Specialised options like pollen or allergy mesh can also provide added benefits for specific needs.
Frames come in a variety of materials, including aluminium, timber, and uPVC. Consider the frame's durability, maintenance requirements, and how well it complements your home's aesthetics.
Every home is unique, and your flyscreen should be too. Look for customisation options that allow you to tailor the screen to your specific requirements. This includes choosing frame colours and mesh types that match your home's décor and style.
Take into account your local climate. In areas with high humidity, consider materials that resist rust and corrosion. In hot climates, choose screens that provide UV protection to keep your home cool and comfortable.
Decide whether you want to opt for professional installation or if you prefer a DIY approach. Professional installation ensures a perfect fit and may be necessary for larger or more complex installations.
Consider the ease of maintenance. Some screens require more upkeep than others. Regular cleaning and upkeep will help prolong the lifespan of your flyscreen.
