A pull-down screen is a type of retractable screen that can be mounted on a window or door frame. In the case of a window, the screen is housed in a cassette at the top of the frame and can be pulled down manually to cover the opening. For doors, the cassette is usually situated at the side, and pulled across. When not in use, the screen can be retracted back into the cassette, providing an unobstructed view. When pulled down (or across), the screen is held in place with a locking mechanism, usually a magnet or latch, and can be released with a simple touch to retract the screen.

Yes, you can have fly screen nets and blinds for solar protection and decoration together. Insect net curtains or blinds can be used as a protective layer for windows and can be paired with other types of window treatments such as roller blinds or curtains for additional privacy and light control. Usually one of the solutions would be fitted in the recess or against the window opening, leaving space for the other solution to be positioned further forward in the recess or outside of the recess.

Yes, net blinds are made from a fine mesh material that allows light and air to filter through while still providing privacy and protection against insects. However, the level of privacy depends on the thickness, colour and tightness of the mesh weave. For example, white mesh actually more visible than traditional grey mesh, and thus provides more of a visual barrier. There are different grades of mesh depending on what you wish to keep out - standard fly screen mesh is least visible and provides the best view out, whilst anti-pollen and anti midge nettings are both tighter weave, and made of thicker fibres in the case of midge netting, therefore the view out is slightly less.

A retractable fly screen is similar to a roller blind. Instead of decorative or shading fabric, fly screen mesh is used and rolls onto the tube, which is contained in an aluminium cassette. The blind itself is spring-loaded, and operated using a handle on the hem bar. For a window configuration, the screen runs in side channels, left and right and is pulled down to the window sill which creates the 4th side of the frame. When not in use, the mesh screen rolls away out of sight into the cassette. The cassette and side channels are slim-line and discrete in appearance so the screen is not visually obtrusive when in use or when rolled away.

Retractable screen doors feature a spring loaded roller cassette on one side of the door into which the mesh rolls up out of the way. The screen is pulled across using a sliding bar, running in top and bottom rails, and latches into a magnetic profile. Sliding screen doors are flat framed screens containing mesh which slides in top and bottom channels. Of the two types of screens retractable screens are more discrete and tend to be long lasting.

Since the mesh of the fly screen is retracted when it is not in use, the mesh fabric is protected the majority of the year from UV radiation, dirt, and weather elements. As a result, retractable screens will outlast ordinary flat framed screens by a large margin. In the winter, there is no need to remove and store the screens. We have customers that are still using their retractable roller fly screens 10 to 15 years after they were purchased. Although life span will of course depend on usage and fair treatment.

In comparison to other types of fly screens, such as framed window fly screens, velcro mesh screens, mesh panel screens and hinged door fly screens, retractable fly screens is an excellent solution. The main benefit of retractable fly screens is that when the window or door is not open, the mesh screen itself rolls away onto the tube that is concealed in the cassette. Because of course, your door is closed the majority of the time, especially out of the summer months, the screen is rolled away the majority of the time protecting it from damage and build up of dirt and grime. Screens that are permanently in place and have the mesh exposed 365 days per year are at greater risk of damage, both to the frames and to the mesh itself.

Traditional roller blinds are not designed to serve as fly screens. However, our Roller Fly Screens are an excellent solution for keeping insects out while allowing fresh air to circulate. These screens use a roller mechanism similar to a roller blind but feature a fly screen mesh housed in a slim-line cassette. They are easy to install and run within side channels, ensuring a secure fit that prevents insects from entering through the window. When not in use, the mesh can be retracted into the cassette for cleanliness and protection, making them a practical and unobtrusive choice.
