In warm weather, we all want to start opening the windows. However, opening the windows can allow flies and other insects to enter the building. Fly screens can help massively reduce the number of unwanted pests from entering your rooms.

What are fly screens for?

Fly screen windows have one simple purpose – to prevent flies and other insects from entering buildings, whilst still allowing fresh air to come into the room. However, a difficult part of choosing fly screens for windows is understanding what the different types of insect screens or window screens are.

No matter what kind of window openings you have in your business or home, we have the highest quality fly screens for windows, suitable for any kind of window frame. And if you can’t quite find what you’re looking for from our standard offering of fly screens below, we also offer bespoke fly screens for windows and doors, ensuring you find the insect screen you need.

Our Window Fly Screens

Standard Fly Screens

A standard fly screen window fits across the interior of your existing window. It has a strong, durable frame made from aluminium. This frame is kept in place with a combination of hinges and turn buttons to ensure that the screen is firmly in place. However, the screen is also easily removable for cleaning. A nylon Brush makes the seal around the outside secure against almost all flying insects.

Perfect for:

  • Casement windows
  • Sash windows
  • Double-hung windows
  • Awning windows
  • Hopper windows

Sliding Fly screens

A sliding fly screen window is a simple way of screening your windows, while still allowing for you to access them easily for cleaning. They are made of two independently moving sliding screens. The screens slide along a sturdy outer framework of hard-wearing aluminium. Our sliding fly screens can move horizontally or vertically. For larger windows, triple sliders are also an option.

Perfect for:

  • Sash windows
  • Sliding windows
  • Double-hung windows
  • Casement windows

Retractable Fly Screen Windows

A retractable fly screen for your windows is suitable for all sorts of use – from business to domestic use. A retractable window fly screen is great for wooden or uPVC windows, as it can blend seamlessly into the existing window frame without causing damage or obstruction. These window fly screens are easy to operate and have a smooth action. Anti-wind mechanisms ensure that the mesh remains inside the guides – even when under pressure. These are the perfect fly screen for windows that open out.

Additionally, these are perfect for:

  • Casement windows
  • Sash windows
  • French windows
  • Bi-fold windows
  • Awning windows
  • Velux windows
  • Bay windows

Canopy Box Fly Screen Windows

Sometimes, internal screening is not possible. This means that only external screens can be fitted. As a result, you might have a problem with opening your windows at all – making the screen unnecessary. In order to still be able to open your windows, but maintain the required screening, we can fit a canopy box insect screen, which is also called a cassette fly screen, to go over the area of the window. This will be large enough to allow you to still open the window safely.

Windows suitable:

  • Casement Windows
  • Sliding Windows
  • French Windows
  • Tilt and Turn Windows
  • Velux or Roof Windows
  • Bi-Fold and Large Windows, such as conservatory windows
