Retractable & Pleated Fly Screens

Retractable and pleated fly screens offer far more flexibility than standard fixed screens. Instead of sitting permanently in place, they glide or fold away neatly when not in use, giving you a clear, unobstructed opening. This makes them ideal for high-traffic doorways or feature windows where you want airflow without compromising your view. They’re especially useful in modern homes with large openings that traditional screens struggle to cover.

Yes, and many families find these screens ideal because the mesh is designed to be durable while remaining lightweight. While the screens aren’t designed to act as a security barrier, they can withstand everyday bumps and gentle pressure from pets or kids brushing past.

It really comes down to where the screen is going and how you use the space. For instance, if it’s a standard doorway or window and a small bottom track isn’t an issue, the pleated option is a great allrounder. It’s smooth to use, lets plenty of air through and works well in most everyday situations.

If the area gets a lot of foot traffic, or you regularly move prams, wheelchairs or bikes through the opening, the Reliable roller screen is the better choice. It has a very low profile at the base and gives you a cleaner, more open feel. For garages, patios, alfresco areas or homes with pets, the Durashield Screen is ideal. The heavy duty alloy mesh is built for tougher conditions and can handle spaces where a soft mesh wouldn’t last.

If you’re unsure, we’re always happy to recommend the best option based on your setup.

One of the biggest advantages of these screens is their adaptability. Whether you have extra-wide bi-folds, tall stacker doors, corner sliders, or windows with unconventional dimensions, the screens are custom manufactured to your exact measurements. Even tricky spaces that other installers consider “too difficult” can usually be screened with a retractable or pleated system.

Each screen is custom measured and built, so it can be installed onto your existing frames without major modifications. Whether your home is brand new, recently renovated, or decades old, the screens are crafted to suit your structure rather than the other way around.

With proper care, these screens can last many years. The mechanisms are designed for frequent use, and the mesh is built to handle everyday exposure without stretching or tearing easily. Regular light cleaning (such as vacuuming dust out of the pleats or rinsing outdoor installations) helps maintain smooth movement and extends the lifespan of the screen.

Yes, most systems can be powder-coated in a wide selection of colours to blend neatly with your existing frames. Standard colour ranges cover the most popular modern shades, and custom finishes may also be available depending on the screen type. This ensures the screen system integrates seamlessly with your home’s aesthetic rather than standing out as an add-on.
