Retractable Fly Screens lend themselves to the &#;transterior trend&#; in architecture which continues to gain momentum with homeowners looking to seamlessly blend their indoor and outdoor spaces. Wide span / Large doors are often used in conjunction with other natural elements, such as plants and textures, to achieve this design feature. They work well because you can open the doors and immediately connect two spaces, and when closed the glass expanse visually creates an open area to bring the outside in.
You can find more information on our web, so please take a look.
Unfortunately, insects and creepy crawlies come hand in hand with living in our beautiful country. And while it&#;s great to fling open the expansive doors to connect your indoor and outdoor living spaces, it&#;s a good idea to install a suitable fly screen that gives you functionality without impacting the flow of your interior design elements.
With so many screens on the market, it can hard to know what to look out for and determine the best type of screen for your home. Retractable Flyscreens are great for screening large openings and hard to screen areas such as Bi-fold doors, French doors, Stacker doors, Pivot doors, Awning windows and Casement windows.
A retractable flyscreen does exactly that&#;retracts. When opened, the screen rolls back into a cassette, very much like a blind. Pleated fly screens work in a very similar way.
Smooth retractable fly screens and pleated retractable fly screens are similar in many ways, but there are a couple of key differences.
Retractable screens have so many benefits, but they&#;re not always suitable. Retractable flyscreens are naturally not rigid like security screens and hence more vulnerable to damage when in the closed position (across the opening). Please be aware that a pet or person (particularly a child) walking or running into a closed retractable screen could potentially brake the cords or fabric.
Some things for you to consider are:
The cost of retractable flyscreens will vary greatly depending on the size of the opening. At SP Screens, a standard colour, standard size ( x mm) start from $850.
Dust and debris can collect in the aluminium guide channels over time. Removal of such build up is easy and important to ensure the screen&#;s smooth movement. While the screen is fully retracted, remove any dust or debris with a soft cloth or a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush nozzle. Dusty or coastal environments will require regular cleaning.
While the screen is fully extended, remove any build up with a vacuum cleaner that has a soft brush nozzle, care should be taken not to tear or rip the mesh.
