No Drill Fly Screens
If you live in a rental property, then you may not be able to drill holes in any windows, painted or plastered surfaces. This makes it very hard to make your rented property into a home, since everyday comforts such as window blinds and curtain rails normally require drilling and screwing to install. In summer months also, your rented property can get stuffy and uncomfortable. In many parts of the country, letting fresh air in also means letting in flies, wasps and a host of other creepy crawlies. So, in addition to our popular no-drill blinds collection, we have also now launched a collection of 'no drill' fly screens. There is a no-drill fly screen for every budget, ranging from temporary to more permanent solutions. They are the perfect insect protection solution for the windows and doors in your rented home. Browse our collection below. Many of our solutions are available for delivery in just a few short days. So order today and receive 'no drill' fly screens, so that you can enjoy the comfort of having fresh air circulating in your home, within days!

Frequently Asked Questions
What options do I have if I need an insect screen solution for my home but I want to avoid drilling?
Perfect for those who would rather avoid drilling, our no-drill roller fly screen blinds are an ideal choice. They are easy to install with a simple friction fit mechanism. Use an allen key to adjust the end caps of the cassette and the guide rails so that they push outwards into the walls and sill of the recess, using friction to hold the screen in place. Our roller fly screen blinds are attractive, discrete and highly effective at keeping insects out. They cause no alteration or damage to your window or door frames or recesses making them ideal for renters or those who are not confident with drills. Plus, they are really easy to remove for cleaning or storage.
Do you offer fly screens suitable for patio doors?
Yes, fly screen for patio doors is a popular application of our products. In particular, our double roller screens, pleated door screens and sliding door screens are particularly suitable for large recess openings such as patio doors, allowing you to enjoy fresh air and views without the nuisance of insects. They also ensure high airflow and visibility.
Do I need any special tools to install my no-drill roller fly screens?
Once the product has been trimmed to size and assembled (for which you will need a saw, screwdriver and tape measure), you will not need any special tools to install your no-drill roller fly screens other than the allen keys supplied. The beauty of this product is its simplicity and ease of installation. You simply move the window screen into position within your recess and adjust the end caps of the cassette and the end caps of the side channels using the allen keys, so that the end caps expand to grip the recess. This means it’s quick and easy to put up and take down, perfect for those hot summer months when flies can become a problem. Plus, there’s no need for drilling or screwing anything into your window frames, making it an ideal solution for renters or anyone who doesn’t want to damage their frames.
Can I install fly screens on my windows without drilling?
Yes, you can absolutely install fly screens on your windows without the need for drilling. At New Blinds, our no-drill fly screens are designed for easy installation, providing a perfect solution for keeping insects out while maintaining the integrity of your window frames or window recess. Our no-drill window fly screens UK customers trust are ideal for homes and rentals where permanent fixtures are not allowed.
Is there a way to keep wasps out of my kitchen without a permanent screen?
Yes — and there are a few options depending on how temporary you want the solution to be.
The most capable is our no-drill roller fly screen, which fits using adjustable end caps that tension into the window recess without a single fixing into the wall or surrounding surfaces. Standard insect mesh is more than sufficient to block wasps, and because the screen requires no drilling, it can be removed at the end of the season and stored away just as easily as it was fitted.
For an even simpler removable fix, our magnetic fly screen attaches to the window frame without tools and can be taken down in seconds. If you'd prefer a very low cost and temporary solution, our removable Velcro fly screen bonds to the frame surface and peels away cleanly without leaving residue.
All three options use standard insect mesh, which wasps cannot pass through.
Are there seasonal insect screen solutions for spring to autumn use?
Yes — and the right choice depends on how much of the year you want the screen in place.
The most versatile seasonal option is the no-drill roller fly screen. The adjustable brackets tension into the window frame using just an allen key, with no fixings into the surrounding surfaces. That makes it straightforward to fit at the start of the season and remove at the end, with the screen storing away neatly in the off-months.
For even simpler seasonal use, a magnetic fly screen attaches and detaches without tools in seconds, while a removable Velcro fly screen bonds to the frame surface and peels away cleanly when no longer needed.
If you'd prefer to leave something in place year-round without the screen being visible, a retractable roller fly screen is worth considering. The mesh retracts fully into the cassette whenever the window is closed, so it's hidden from view throughout winter without needing to be removed at all.
