The short review: Bayside delivers a top quality product and keeps their deadlines no matter what with a price that was excellent.For greater detail supporting that, then read on...Bayside Security Doors and screens did an absolutely fantastic job on replacing all my flyscreen doors (top balcony and back yard - 5 doors total) plus once i saw their security doors i opted to swap those in for my downstairs flyscreens.Sent my inquiry in the AM and they contacted me the same day then immediately arranged a measure a couple of days later. I had a quote the next AM waiting for me.Not knowing anything about security doors (having been an apt dweller my whole life and this being my first real house) i was invited to the showroom to see the finished products and options in the factory. Wes took his time explaining the manufacturing and different grades of screening and frames. After comparing Bayside&#;s security doors to Crimsafe, they were exactly the same sturdiness and quality but without the &#;name brand&#; price/penalty. Easy to make my decision on the spot. Then looking at the aluminium grades for the flyscreens i was impressed with the visibility and durability of the product. Even their security mesh has better visibility than most of the flyscreen mesh i saw on the market.They quoted me 3 weeks and were spot on their delivery date. Upon install, it was discovered that the original builder skimped on the track guide for the top of the frame attached to the house. They had a solution immediately (which was to retrofit a top bubble guide into the frame which removed the significant annoying wind wobble (i thought that was just normal). When i offered for them to come back to handle the unexpected issue, Wes immediately insisted they guaranteed the date and RETURNED later in the day with the parts and did the retrofit. The end result was zero gap and incredibly smooth action on the doors. The precision was perfect. Not so much as a rattle.I&#;d strongly recommend them for any sliding security / flyscreen door solution. And if and when the time comes my shower doors need replacing (or i just get bored with them), I know who i&#;m going to call. No need to look any further.Thanks Wes, Lachlan and Axel for the amazing service and awesome product.

Pros and Cons About Retractable Fly Screens

A retractable fly screen is exactly what the name says. When closed it covers the window with a light mesh that keeps insects out. This is ideal for some seasons where insects are a problem. When the screen is closed, it is retracted into an overhead cassette, rather like a retractable blind. Or it folds up into pleats, a little like a Venetian blind.

Benefits of Retractable Fly Screens

  • Like all fly screens, they keep insects out.
  • The retractable screens take up very little space.
  • Ideal for tricky spaces like French doors and bifold.
  • When they cover large open doors they still allow people to pass through.
  • They cover a wide area without cross-section frames or obstructions.
  • Easy to vacuum clean with a brush attachment.

Disadvantages of Retractable Screens

  • Unlike heavy mesh, the retractable screen will not protect against burglars.
  • We have to make sure the retractable fly screens do not interfere with any retractable blinds.

Retractable fly screens lend themselves to large open doors and windows, especially when they lead to the outside. So they cater to the exterior style of architecture, where the large doors can be opened to connect the inside space to the outside living area. At the same time, retractable blinds and screens are a fine option for small windows in bedrooms and kitchens.

Retractable fly screens are ideal for all types of windows. Keep insects out while allowing light in when needed. SK Screens&Blinds can help you with finding the right one. We provide fly Screen service Sydney-wide, so give us a call at 229 507 today!
