Sliding doors are often ideal for the back of the home. If we want the home to open onto an outdoor veranda or patio a sliding door allows both plenty of walk space and plenty of outdoor light. We will probably want to add a fly screen frame to these sliding doors for use during the summer, to keep insects out. Retractable fly screens like pleated screens or mesh that rolls up like a blind may be a good option here. But we need to make sure the space can be kept clean when required.
Fitting Sliding Doors and Retractable Fly Screens
Some sliding doors are fitted to the same frame left from the presious sliding or stacking door. Some can be fitted to the space where there was a large window that extended from the floor to the ceiling. More often the wall must be partially removed when we install large sliding doors, with a track and frame installed for the sliding mechanism.
The track for the sliding door may also include an adjacent track for a sliding fly screen frame. This will be part of the overall design, all installed at the same time. But if we already have a sliding door without a fly screen mesh frame, we will have to find another option.
Options for Retractable Fly Screens
– A pleated screen will fold up to one side of the doorway. This is easy to add on once we have the right dimensions for the door.
– Retractable fly screens can be stored in a cartridge over the door. This is a good option for many situations as there should be no modification needed to the door, and no clutter when the screen is not used. The screen just rolls away like as window blinds do.
– Magnetic screens can attach to the door frame. Once again this doesn’t require any modification to the door or frame. The magnetic screen is made to the right size, and can be used or packed away as required.
Insects and Security
The fly screen mesh on sliding doors will not protect against intruders unless it is an integrated part of the sliding door design, with suitable security mesh. Any insect screen that is added on, retractable models, will only keep out insects, not potential burglars.
Retractable Fly Screens
Have fly screen mesh on windows and doorways to let light and air in while keeping insects out. Custom fitted to any space.

Flyscreen frames are such a simple yet effective idea. The mesh over the window allows light and air in but keeps insects out. But there are many variations that also provide additional benefits. So we should choose the fly screen that suits our situation.
Any Fly Screen Frame will:
Keep insects out
Let air circulate, so a breeze will help keep things cooler inside
Let light inside
Allow a decent view outside
Help the environment because there is little need for pesticides and insect repellants
Some Fly Screen Frames will:
Provide security protection against burglars. Look for metal mesh.
Be damage resistant towards pets.
Be retractable when not in use.
Be detachable, to be removed when not in use.
Prevent people from falling through a window.
Fly Screen Mesh will not:
Block UV light, which causes sunburn and fabrics to fade. But if we are concerned about UV light we can add UV-proof curtains.
Block sound. We need to close the windows for that.
Flyscreen doors basically offer the same advantages as any window with a fly screen frame. But if it is a security door will also offer protection against burglars when locked, and prevent infants from wandering outside when required.
We should have solid mesh on security fly screen doors, or at least mesh that withstands pet claws, if there is a pet in the household. We also recommend security doors that triple lock.
A fly screen frame or fly screen doors can keep our household free of insects while allowing light in and air to circulate.

A retractable fly screen is exactly what the name says. When closed it covers the window with a light mesh that keeps insects out. This is ideal for some seasons where insects are a problem. When the screen is closed, it is retracted into an overhead cassette, rather like a retractable blind. Or it folds up into pleats, a little like a Venetian blind.
Benefits of Retractable Fly Screens
Like all fly screens, they keep insects out.
The retractable screens take up very little space.
Ideal for tricky spaces like French doors and bifold.
When they cover large open doors they still allow people to pass through.
They cover a wide area without cross-section frames or obstructions.
Easy to vacuum clean with a brush attachment.
Disadvantages of Retractable Screens
Unlike heavy mesh, the retractable screen will not protect against burglars.
We have to make sure the retractable fly screens do not interfere with any retractable blinds.
Retractable fly screens lend themselves to large open doors and windows, especially when they lead to the outside. So they cater to the exterior style of architecture, where the large doors can be opened to connect the inside space to the outside living area. At the same time, retractable blinds and screens are a fine option for small windows in bedrooms and kitchens.
Retractable fly screens are ideal for all types of windows. Keep insects out while allowing light in when needed. SK Screens&Blinds can help you with finding the right one. We provide fly Screen service Sydney-wide, so give us a call at 0430 229 507 today!

The simple fly screen in Sydney over windows and doors has been a part of Australian homes for generations. They are the most effective way to keep insects and other small pests out. And they do this without affecting circulation or Sunlight. So they remain popular and basically necessary.
Advantages of Fly Screen Mesh
Keeping insects out. This is obvious, and the main reason why any household would buy screens. We would not want to endure a summer without screens on the home.
Additional security. Older screens from a generation ago were nylon, and while this kept insects out it did nothing to deter burglars. In fact, any pet with claws could break these old screens. If we wanted to keep pets and intruders away we had to lock the door and windows shut. But modern screens are wire mesh. A burger needs heavy-duty cutting equipment to get through these windows and will find it nearly impossible to get through the security fly screen door.
Keep children safe. Flyscreen doors can keep young children from leaving the home, while still leaving the house open to the breeze and sunlight. We simply lock the screen door rather than the main door.
Privacy Indoors – Black mesh can provide some two-way covering to a window. People inside can see out, but people outside have difficulty the inside.
Decor Style – Wrought iron design with screens, wood designs and other options with fly screen mesh can look great on doorways or some window balconies.
Save Energy on Home Cooling – Because screens allow air to flow through the home it is possible to keep the home cooler in moderate weather. Though extreme heat will require an air conditioner to cool the home.
Natural Light – Screens and windows mean using natural light rather than electrical lighting. This is most noticeable on doors with flyscreens rather than windows.
Let air circulate – Clean air is taken for granted, till we suffer poor air. Bu allowing air to circulate in the home we greatly reduce airborne contaminants and greatly reduce mould. This makes for healthier living.
Complete your home with fixed or removable fly screen mesh and with security fly screen doors.

Every Window in the home can be improved. We can add blinds to block out or filter light. We can add fly screens to keep out the insects. Modern fly screen mesh can also keep out potential intruders. Blinds and curtains can also add to the decor if matched to suit the look of the room.
Retractable Fly Screens
Older fly screen mesh designs were fairly permanent, being fixed in place on the window. And the mesh itself was light nylon. This type of thing was actually fine for keeping out the insects, but it didn’t look great and offered no protection against burglars. Luckily modern designs are different.
Modern window screens can be retractable or removable. We can use the fly screen frame when needed in summer and remove them during the rest of the year.
Some modern window mesh, like the mesh on security doors, is made of interconnected metal. Unlike the old nylon frames or thin metal wire, this heavy metal mesh is very solid. It makes matters difficult when potential burglars try to get inside. This type of mesh is not retractable, but it is secure and actually looks fine.
Window Blinds
Blinds look great on windows, inside or out. External blinds (shutters) can offer protection against the elements. Inside window blinds allow easy control over the light and also allow privacy. We might want to block all light, so we can sleep or watch television, or just tone down the brightness to a comfortable level.
Window blinds can allow us to keep air circulating through the open window, while still blocking bright sunlight and offering privacy. This is great for hot summer days.
There are several types of blinds
Roller Blinds are simple and retract to a small space above the window.
Venetian Blinds consist of horizontal slats that can be tilted or retracted overhead. These have remained popular for generations, being so easy to use.
Vertical Blinds have cloth strips from the top to the bottom of the window. These can be angled to block light and provide privacy
Make the home look better, and control the light from outside, with window blinds. Add fly screen mesh to keep out insects.

Older flyscreens were made of softer, thinner material. This was fine for keeping insects out, but it offered no protection from intruders. And it could also be a problem for some house pets.
Some pets like cats and occasionally dogs would often claw at the insect screen when they wanted to get outside. On older screens, this was a persistent problem as the pet’s claws would quickly damage the mesh. Newer security doors won’t be damaged by pets because the modern metal mesh is much stronger. But we still would prefer to keep pets off the screens, if only for their own safety.
Older Fly Screen mesh can get damaged because:
The screen on its own is hard to see. It looks like empty space, and it is easy for somebody to try to pass through it. If there is a metal design over the mesh then this problem basically will not occur.
Young children and pets do not see the screen as a barrier, or a closed door. It seems like an exit that is blocked, so they try to get through it.
Mesh is easy to climb for some pets, and their natural curiosity will lead them to do this.
Pets like to sharpen their claws on something. Mesh and furniture are easy targets for pets sharpening claws.
Pets will want to get outside, and a screen door across their usual exit will confuse them.
We can prevent damage to screens by:
Make the screen more visible by attaching stickers of magnets. A security door that has ornate metalwork over the mesh will not suffer this issue.
Use a layer of perspex over the base of the mesh near the ground. The pets will not try to climb this as there is nothing to grip.
Make a scratching post for the pets and train them to use it. This is a better alternative for them than the door.
If the pet is allowed to go outside, give them a small pet door, just large enough for them, but too small for burglars. Beware, this may allow pests inside.
Trim the pet’s claws, to prevent damage.
Use a security door with strong mesh. This is unlikely to be damaged. But we should prevent the pets from climbing the screen for safety reasons.
Modern security doors and fly screen mesh keep insects and intruders out. They are strong enough to resist most damage. SK Screens & Blinds offers fly Screen mesh service Sydney-wide, so give us a call today!

Fly screen mesh comes in various types. One main distinction is between light insect screens, which are designed to keep small creatures outside, and Heavy mesh screens, which are a security measure to keep intruders outside.
Plain Fly Screen Sydney
These insect screens are made from light mesh, like aluminium, fibreglass, PVC or coated polyester. They can be broken with moderate force (like breaking a window) or easily cut with a knife.
Security Fly Screen Sydney
Security screens are much harder than plain mesh. They are made from stainless steel of sometimes interwoven aluminium. They are permanently attached to a fly screen frame.
Security Screens cannot be home made, not without special welding equipment. They are specially patented and designed according to Australian regulations.
If a security screen is designed to open it must be made like a security door. It will have hinges and a locking system. This makes them very difficult to break through, either from inside or out.
The durability of security fly screen mesh windows is very high. They initially cost more, but they should last for decades. Plain insect screens are simply replaced if damaged. But security screens should never need replacing.
Window Blinds
An alternative to security screen mesh is to use external window blinds. Plantation shutters can be locked shut to keep intruders out. Some designs allow air to circulate while the main shutter doors are closed by using movable horizontal slats.
Fly Screen Sydney
Keep the home insect and intruder free with fly screen mesh. Removable and retractable designs are available.

Older fly screen doors consisted of a flimsy frame that simply supported the fly screen mesh. This successfully kept the insects out, as long as the door wasn’t damaged. But it did nothing else. Modern fly screen doors are different.
Today’s security doors offer heavy-duty fly screens to keep insects out, and a solid lockable frame to keep the home secure. This means we can keep the air circulating while having the home safely locked up. The security screen door is at least as secure as a solid door.
Of course this only really works if we have a good quality door. So what makes a good quality fly screen door?
Quality Fly Screen Doors
Mesh – New mesh is rigid metal, not light plastic or fine wire. Look for rigid mesh that meets the Australian AS5039-2008 standard.
Frame Material – The frame can be steel or aluminium. Steel is stronger, as long as it is reasonably thick. Aluminium is far less likely to corrode, unless you live at the beach. Stainless steel has both advantages, though it costs a little more.
Frame Construction – The corners of the door should be welded, not joined with bolts, screws or stakes. Welded joints are much harder to break.
Frame Grille Joint – The mesh should be deeply set into the frame, so there is no possibility of it being pushed out. This is termed the deep receiver channel.
Infill – This is the metal within the frame of the door, across the mesh. It should be either cast as part of the main frame, or at least welded into place. So not buy any door that has the infill riveted into place.
Edges – The door should not have an edge that allows a crowbar to be inserted. The edges of the door should be razor tight.
Locks – This should have three points of contact, top middle and base. This makes the door much harder to pry open.
Hinges – There should be at least three hinges that are welded to the door frame. Or a long hinge that runs the length of the door.
Security Door Fly Screen Sydney
A modern fly screen door offers excellent protection for the home. It protects against intruders and insects.

Enhancing your home’s aesthetic appeal is effortlessly achievable with the right window coverings. Whether you’re sprucing up existing decor or embarking on a fresh design journey, the perfect curtains or window blinds play a pivotal role. Not only do they elevate the room’s appearance, but they also offer functional benefits like light control, privacy, and even noise reduction.
The Challenge of Choice: Selecting the Ideal Blinds
Understanding Window and Door Types
Every home boasts unique characteristics, especially when it comes to windows and doors. The variety in designs necessitates a tailored approach to selecting blinds. Consider the type of windows and doors in your space:
For sliding doors, opt for blinds that can easily shift to the side.
Double-hung windows pair well with retractable blinds, such as roller or Venetian blinds, that rise to the top of the window frame.
Maximising Window Functionality
Desire both sunlight and privacy? Explore versatile options like honeycomb blinds, slightly upward-tilted Venetian blinds, frosted windows, or a combination of light curtains and blinds.
Room-Specific Considerations
Bathrooms demand privacy and resilience against moisture; waterproof blinds like PVC or aluminium are ideal.
Home theatres benefit from light-blocking blinds for an optimal viewing experience.
Harmonising with Room Style
Decor harmony is essential. Determine whether your blinds should match or complement your room’s colour scheme. Experiment with lighter blinds in darker rooms or versatile white blinds for a universal fit.
Budget-Friendly Solutions
While budget constraints are real, online shopping for blinds can offer substantial savings. With accurate measurements, you can find the perfect blinds within your budget.
Conclusion: Enhance Your Home with Online Blind Selections
Blinds are more than just functional; they can significantly enhance your home’s look. Discover the ideal blinds to complement your home.

We all have curtains or blinds in the home, and realise that we would be inconvenienced without them. We can add the same convenience to our caravans or campers.
Of course the situation is a little different in a moving vehicle. We can’t use blinds that will move too much; we must allow for the travel conditions. Curtains are easy to use in a caravan or camper, because they are lightweight and will not cause damage if they move. But blinds must be kept secure for travel.
Roller Blinds
These roller blinds can work well in a caravan. They will need to be rolled up before the vehicle is moving, but otherwise there should be no problem. It is possible to add hold down brackets at the base of the window to keep the blinds shut for transport. But often the owners find it easier to just retract the blinds.
Roller blinds require about 4 cm or depth to be installed inside a window.
Venetian Blinds
These are the blinds that use horizontal slats to cover the windows, the slats being tillable to alter the amount of light that comes inside, providing privacy when they are closes, or when tilted upwards.
Venetian blinds can be used in a caravan as long as they are secured at both the top and bottom. They cannot be left loose, or they will rattle around when the vehicle moves, perhaps causing damage.
UV Screens
It can be useful to add UV screen to caravan windows. These are the same screens used for many cars. They block the light that causes sunburn and that heat up the vehicle’s interior, so they keep the living space cooler, and prevent damage to the furnishings.
Fly Screen Mesh
Almost every caravan has fly screens. These are lightweight and very effective for keeping insects out of the living space. Consider replacing these screens with heavier mesh to add some security protection for the vehicle.
Window Blinds
Window blinds are attractive and functional for home and caravans. Have privacy and control the light with simple to use blinds.

Struggling with the summer sun’s harsh rays or seeking warmth during colder months? The solution lies in effective window treatments. Discover the functionality and aesthetics of window blinds, a versatile solution for year-round comfort in your home.
Insulation Benefits of Window Blinds
Installing window blinds creates a layer of air between the glass and the blind, providing substantial insulation. This barrier is key to minimizing heat entry during hot months and preventing heat loss when it’s colder. The result? A more stable room temperature and reduced costs on heating and air conditioning. Plus, the flexibility to retract blinds during moderate weather conditions is a bonus, allowing natural light to brighten your space.
Window Blind Installation: A Step-by-Step Guide
Measuring Your Windows: Accurate measurements are crucial as window sizes vary. While standard sizes exist, custom-made blinds ensure a perfect fit for your unique window dimensions.
Choosing the Right Fit: Decide whether the blinds should sit within the window frame or cover both the frame and glass. Each option offers distinct aesthetic and space considerations.
Installing the Blinds: Follow precise installation steps, from bracket placement to securing the blind mechanism and adjusting control chains for safety and functionality.
Enhancing Window Efficiency with Fly Screen Mesh
In addition to blinds, consider installing fly screen mesh for an insect-free environment. This simple addition allows for air circulation while keeping unwanted pests out, complementing your window blinds effectively.
Window Blinds as a Decorative and Functional Choice
Window blinds are more than just a practical choice; they enhance your room’s decor while giving you control over light and temperature. Invest in quality blinds to transform your living space into a comfortable, stylish haven.

Quite simply, blinds are window coverings. They can be used for practical purposes, providing privacy and blocking sunlight. And they can be used for decorative effect. Many home owners put a considerable time and effort into choosing the right style of blind to complement the decorative appearance of their rooms.
Window blinds are made to be opened and closed with ease. Their operating mechanism can be manually controlled by a cord or rod. Or the blind may have an electronic motor control. Remote electronic controls are convenient if you wish to close the blinds while you stay in bed.
Keeping the temperature comfortable inside
Covering the window is simple with blinds. and it allows us to keep out much of that heat during bright sunny days. So we can keep the air conditioning to a minimum, and save money. On moderately warm days we can even keep the windows open while the blinds are shut, keeping the air circulating while keeping the light and heat out.
During winter months the blinds provide that extra layer of insulation, so we don’t have cold glass window surfaces taking heat out of the room. This helps reduce heating/air conditioning costs.
Material Concerns
Blinds can be made from various different materials. This includes Polyester, aluminium, timber and PVC. OFten these materials are inexpensive, so good quality, long lasting blinds are moderate in cost.
blinds also come in different designs:
– Vertical Blinds
– Horizontal Blinds
– Venetian Blinds (vertical)
– Roman Blinds
– Roller Blinds
– Pleated Blinds
– Plantation Shutters (internal on external)
– Exterior Window Blinds
Blinds can be combined with window tinting to provide protection against the Sun’s UV light and Infrared heat. Sometimes they are also combined with light translucent curtains which allow light in while providing privacy.
Window Blinds
Consider window blinds for any room in the house. There is always a style of blind to complement any home decor.
