Breathe Easy and Live Comfortably
Window fly screens are a simple and practical way to improve comfort throughout your home. They allow fresh air and natural light through your windows while helping keep flies, mosquitoes and insects out.
They are ideal for bedrooms, living areas, kitchens, laundries and any space where you want ventilation without the annoyance of insects inside the home.
At Sasco, every window fly screen is custom made to suit your window opening. Our team can help you choose the right frame size, mesh type, colour and installation option for your home.
Important: Window Fly Screens vs Security Screens
Window fly screens are designed for airflow and insect protection. They are non-security insect barrier screens and are not designed to provide the same level of protection as security window grilles or security window screens.
Window Fly Screens Made for Different Window Types
Sasco can supply window fly screens for many common residential window styles, including aluminium sliding windows, awning wind-out windows and sash windows.
Why Install Window Fly Screens?
Window fly screens are useful all year round, but especially during warmer weather when you want airflow without leaving your home open to insects.
Fresh Air
Open your windows and enjoy airflow through bedrooms, kitchens and living areas.
Insect Protection
Help keep flies, mosquitoes and other insects outside while still letting air through.
Clear Visibility
Choose mesh options that suit your preferred balance of airflow, visibility and durability.
Made to Fit
Custom made screens help achieve a neat fit compared with generic off-the-shelf options.
Window Fly Screen Mesh Options
Different mesh options are available depending on your priorities, including general insect protection, extra rigidity, clearer views or improved durability.
Fibreglass Mesh
Fibreglass mesh is the standard and most common option for window fly screens. It provides practical insect protection, airflow and visibility at an economical price point.
Luxury Mesh
Luxury mesh is a premium option designed for customers who want improved clarity and a finer appearance, especially on windows where the view matters.
Aluminium Mesh
A stronger, more rigid mesh option with a charcoal finish. It can also be used where aluminium mesh is required for BAL-29 bushfire rating considerations, subject to suitability.
Paw-Proof Mesh
A tougher mesh option that can be discussed where pets or extra durability are important. Suitability depends on the window type and screen requirements.
Not Sure Which Mesh?
Our team can explain the differences and recommend a practical option based on your window type, budget, pets, visibility and airflow needs.
MADE TO MEASURE
A Neat Fit for Your Existing Windows
A properly made fly screen should sit neatly in the existing window frame, match the colour as closely as possible and allow the window to operate as intended.
Frame Profiles and Finish Options
Window fly screens are made using extruded aluminium framing profiles, with frame size and finish selected to suit the window type and existing frame.
Slim Frame Options
Ultra-slim frame profiles may suit selected window types where a smaller, neat-looking frame is required.
Sturdy Frame Options
A sturdier frame profile can be used where extra frame strength or a different fit is required.
Colour Matched Finish
Choose from standard powder-coated colours, anodised bronze or natural finishes to help match your existing windows.
Where Window Fly Screens Can Be Used
Window fly screens are suitable for many common home windows where airflow and insect protection are the main priority.
Common aluminium sliding windows around the home.
Selected wind-out windows where suitable.
Suitable sash window applications where practical.
Enjoy fresh air at night while reducing insects.
Improve airflow through the main areas of the home.
