Retractable Screen Solutions - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Are your retractable fly screens custom-made to fit standard Australian door and window sizes?

Absolutely! Every single retractable screen we supply is 100% custom-made to your exact millimetre measurements. Whether you have a standard single hinged door, classic French doors, a popular modern stacking slider, or massive bi-fold doors opening up to an alfresco area, we've got you covered. Our pleated screen systems can seamlessly bridge expansive openings up to 9 metres wide without obstructing your view.

2. Summer in Australia means heavy fly and insect seasons. Will your mesh block smaller pests?

Yes, our screens are highly effective at keeping out unwanted visitors. We use high-density, high-tensile fiberglass mesh engineered to easily block out standard houseflies, blowflies, and mosquitoes. Because it is highly tightly woven, it also offers excellent protection against tiny Australian biting insects like sandflies and midges (sandflies), all while maintaining great natural airflow and high-definition transparency.

3. What is the difference between a Roller (Flat Mesh) and a Pleated retractable screen, and which should I choose?

Roller Screens (Flat Mesh): These function like a roller blind. When opened, the mesh rolls completely out of sight into a compact vertical side-cassette. They offer the most unobstructed "invisible" view, making them perfect for single entrance doors or standard awning/casement windows.

Pleated Screens (Accordion Style): These feature a durable, pleated mesh that folds away into the side. They operate without heavy spring tension, meaning they stop exactly where you let go of them—making them incredibly safe and easy to operate for toddlers and the elderly. They are highly recommended for large, wide openings like bi-fold or multi-stacker doors.

4. Do you deliver Australia-wide, and how long does shipping take?

Yes, we deliver across all states and territories in Australia, including metro hubs like Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, and regional areas. Because each screen is custom-built to your dimensions and run through strict quality control, our current standard turnaround time from order confirmation to delivery at your doorstep is within 7 weeks.

5. Can I really install these retractable screens myself as a DIY project?

You certainly can! Our screens are specifically designed for straightforward DIY measurement and installation. We provide comprehensive, easy-to-follow Measure & Fit Guides. If you can handle a tape measure, a drill, and a level, you can install our screens in a single afternoon. By choosing the DIY path, you bypass expensive trade call-out fees and unlock our wholesale, direct-to-consumer factory pricing.

6. How is the made-to-measure price calculated?

Open the relevant product page and enter a valid height and width in millimetres. The calculator uses those dimensions and the selected product's rate to display the current price before the item is added to cart.

7. How do I clean and maintain the screens? Can they handle the harsh Australian UV climate?

Our frames are made from architectural-grade aluminum finished with a UV-stabilized powder coat, and our mesh is UV-treated. They are fully engineered to withstand harsh Aussie sun, salt-air moisture, and heat.

  • For general maintenance: Simply vacuum the tracks and mesh using a soft brush attachment every few months to remove dust, pollen, or trapped bugs. Wipe down the frames with mild soapy water and a microfiber cloth. Always ensure the mesh is dry before rolling or folding it away for long periods.

8. How do I check wind suitability and warranty conditions?

Review the Wind Rating & Structural Integrity Guide and the terms shown for the selected product. If the opening is exposed or unusual, contact the team before ordering rather than assuming suitability.

9. Will the screen frame match my existing aluminium or timber door frames?

Yes, our screen casings are designed with a sleek, minimalist profile that blends seamlessly into modern Australian architecture. We offer our tracks and cassettes in popular, versatile architectural colors like Classic White, Matte Black, and Modern Grey. When fully retracted, the screen housing is so compact it virtually disappears, matching your existing timber, UPVC, or aluminium door frames perfectly.

10. Can these be mounted on either the inside or outside of my doors?

Yes, our systems feature Versatile Installation options. They can be In-Jam Mounted (recessed inside the door frame cutout) or Face Mounted (fixed flush onto the front surface of the wall or casing molding). This flexibility ensures that regardless of whether your glass doors slide, stack, or swing outward/inward, our screen frame can be mounted on the opposite side, completely clear of your existing handles, deadbolts, and security locks.
