Why Fly Screens Matter in QLD

Queensland's warm, humid climate means windows and doors stay open most of the year. That's great for airflow — but it also invites unwanted guests. Mosquitoes in South-East Queensland carry Ross River virus, Barmah Forest virus, and in northern regions, dengue fever. Council health campaigns across Brisbane actively encourage residents to screen their homes as a first line of defence.

Quality fly screens let you enjoy the breeze without worrying about what's flying in with it. They're one of the simplest and most cost-effective ways to protect your family's health and comfort.

Fly Screen Types

We supply and install a full range of fly screens to suit every opening in your home.

Hinged Fly Screen Doors

The most common choice for front and back doors. Self-closing hinges keep your entry sealed after every pass. Available in standard and custom sizes.

Sliding Fly Screen Doors

Designed for patio and glass slider doors. Smooth-rolling track systems that glide easily and fit flush with your existing door frame.

Window Fly Screens

Fixed frame or sliding window screens, custom measured and cut to fit. Keeps insects out of every room while maintaining full ventilation.

Retractable Fly Screens

Roll up neatly into a compact cassette when not in use. Clean, modern look that's ideal for feature doors and windows where aesthetics matter.

Pet-Resistant Mesh

Stronger, heavier-gauge mesh designed for homes with dogs and cats. Won't tear or stretch from claws, scratching, or leaning. A must for pet owners.

Materials

Frame & Mesh Options

We use quality materials suited to Brisbane's climate. Your screens are built to last.

Aluminium Frame

Standard frame material. Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and available in a range of powder-coated colours.

Fibreglass Mesh

The most common and affordable option. Good visibility, easy to replace, and suitable for most residential applications.

Aluminium Mesh

More durable than fibreglass. Better resistance to tears and pet damage. A solid mid-range upgrade.

Stainless Steel Mesh

Security-grade mesh that doubles as insect protection. Upgrade your fly screen to a security screen for added peace of mind.

Pet Mesh

Heavier-gauge polyester or vinyl-coated mesh. Scratch-resistant and designed to withstand daily wear from pets.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do fly screens cost in Brisbane?

Window fly screens typically start from around $80 for a standard size, while fly screen doors range from $150 to $500 depending on the type and size. Pet mesh and retractable options sit at the higher end. We provide free measure and quote so you get an accurate price for your home.

Can fly screens keep out sandflies and midges?

Standard fly screen mesh blocks most flying insects, but sandflies and midges are extremely small. For areas with heavy sandfly activity (like bayside suburbs), we can fit finer-weave mesh that significantly reduces their entry. Ask us about sandfly-rated mesh options.

Do you have pet-proof fly screens?

Yes. We supply pet-resistant mesh that's made from heavier-gauge material designed to withstand scratching and clawing from dogs and cats. It's a popular upgrade in Brisbane — most homes with pets will go through standard mesh quickly. The upgrade is typically $50 to $100 on top of the base price.

How long do fly screens last?

With proper care, quality aluminium-framed fly screens last 10 to 15 years or more. Fibreglass mesh may need replacing every 5 to 8 years depending on sun exposure, while aluminium and stainless steel mesh lasts considerably longer. Regular cleaning and gentle handling extend the life of your screens.

Can you replace just the mesh on my existing screen?

Absolutely. If your frame is still in good condition, we can rescreen it with new mesh — saving you the cost of a full replacement. We also repair damaged frames, replace rollers, and fix tracks. See our Repairs & Rescreening service for details.
