FAQ
What are the benefits of installing quality fly screens in my home?
Fly screens provide a simple way to enjoy fresh air while keeping insects out. They allow natural ventilation, help reduce reliance on air conditioning, and improve indoor comfort. Modern fly screens also come in a range of mesh types and frame colours, so they blend easily with your home’s style. With the right materials and installation, they can also act as a light barrier against leaves, dust, and small debris.
Which type of mesh is best for fly screens?
The best mesh depends on your lifestyle and the conditions around your home. Standard fibreglass or aluminium mesh works well for general insect protection. Pet proof mesh offers extra strength for households with cats or dogs, while finer mesh options help block smaller insects such as midges. In humid areas like Mackay, choosing durable, corrosion resistant materials ensures the screens last longer and stay looking clean.
How long do quality fly screens typically last?
With proper care and materials suited to the climate, fly screens can last many years. Stronger mesh options like aluminium or pet proof mesh tend to outperform basic fibreglass in terms of durability. Regular cleaning and occasional checks of the frame or spline help extend their lifespan. Choosing a professionally made screen also ensures the mesh stays tensioned and secure over time.
