What is a VELUX window fly screen?

A VELUX window fly screen is a type of insect screen designed specifically for VELUX roof windows. The screen is made of a fine mesh material that keeps out flies, mosquitoes, and other flying insects while still allowing air to circulate. VELUX window fly screens are available in a range of sizes to fit different window models and sizes.

How do I install a VELUX window fly screen?

Most blinds for VELUX windows fit directly to the window itself up against the glass. VELUX window fly screens are different, because a fly screen, of course needs to cover the window opening rather than just covering the glass! They are still relatively simple to install, but require a bit more drilling and screwing. Whether you select a Genuine VELUX fly screen or one of our pleated blackout blind + fly screens, the fly screen is fitted around the recess of the window, which will allow the window to be open and for the fly screen to be pulled down. Our own screens are one-size only, and screens are supplied with instructions which illustrate the process of measuring, any trimming required and installation. Our own fly screen + blackout blind can be installed at any brand of loft window.
