Overview
Choose the right screen for your opening
The right screen depends on how the opening moves, the available fixing space, existing tracks, handles and daily use. Some insect screens stay fixed, while others retract when not in use.

Guide
Choosing screens by opening type
Start with the opening itself. Its movement usually determines which system is practical.
Windows
Fixed or removable window screens suit many window types where simple insect protection and airflow are needed. Pull-down screens may suit selected windows where the mesh should retract. Window style, frame depth and cleaning access need to be checked first.
Sliding and hinged doors
Sliding screen doors are planned around existing tracks, door travel and clear access. Hinged screen doors need enough swing space and suitable fixing points. For replacement screens, we also check whether the existing frame, handles or tracks have changed.
Bi-fold doors and wide openings
Pleated screens can suit bi-fold doors, patios, balconies and alfresco areas where a fixed screen would be impractical or visually heavy. The folded mesh slides across the opening and stacks away, helping keep wide openings usable when screening is not needed.
Higher-use entry doors
Safety screen doors may be considered where a more substantial frame, mesh system and greater everyday durability are preferred. They can suit frequently used entries that need airflow and visibility, subject to the doorway, frame condition and preferred appearance.

More to know about screen systems
These details help narrow the options before a site measure.
Fixed, retractable or safety screen systems
Fixed window screens are a simple option for many windows. Hinged or sliding screen doors suit everyday access where the frame and tracks allow it. Retractable and pleated systems can work for wide openings where the screen should store away. Pull-down screens may suit selected windows. Safety screen doors may suit frequently used entrances where a more substantial frame and mesh system is preferred.
Mesh, airflow and visibility
Mesh selection can affect insect protection, airflow, outward visibility, durability and appearance. The final mesh should be selected around the opening, frequency of use and the preferred appearance from inside and outside.
Replacement screens and existing openings
Existing frames, tracks or mesh can sometimes be replaced, but their condition and dimensions need to be checked first. Damaged mesh, worn frames, old sliding door screens, missing window screens and changes to handles, tracks or flooring can affect compatibility. Photos are useful before the site measure.
Simple care for everyday operation
Keep tracks and guides clear of dirt and debris. Use steady pressure when operating retractable screens, especially across wider openings. Clean mesh gently and avoid forcing a screen that feels stuck. Damaged mesh, loose fittings or rough movement should be checked early.
FAQ
Questions about screen options
Practical answers before choosing a system.
The best option depends on the opening type, size, movement, frame condition and daily use. Window screens, screen doors, retractable screens, pull-down screens and safety screen doors each suit different situations.
Often, yes. Existing windows and doors can be assessed for custom screens, but tracks, handles, frame depth and clearances need to be checked before confirming a suitable product.
They can suit some wide doors, bi-fold doors, patios and alfresco openings. Pleated systems are commonly considered where a fixed screen would be impractical, but the opening still needs to be assessed.
In many cases, damaged mesh, worn frames or old sliding door screens can be assessed for replacement. Suitability depends on the frame, dimensions, tracks and hardware condition.
Cost depends on opening size, screen type, frame, mesh, configuration and installation conditions. A measure and quote is the most accurate way to price screens for your windows, doors or outdoor openings.

“We have three expanding insect screens in our house, on some very big spans and they're great. We are very happy with the product and service. Just note on such a big span there is some resistance on the mechanism and they require regular cleaning, but considering they retract into a tight bunch, it's absolutely worth it.”
