Frequently Asked Questions

What are the Mosquito fly screens made from?
All of our screens are made from strong alumimium in various finishes and have a good quality fibreglass mesh in light grey colour.

 

Do the screens block the light? Are they visible from inside or outside the house? From the outside it is virtually invisible against the light and from the inside you will barely notice the screens are in place. There is very little loss of light. The darker the mesh the less natural light you get in your rooms.

 

Will your screens keep out insects, for example mosquitoes?
The mesh will keep out most types of flying insects including the common housefly, moths, wasps, bees and even cochroaches. Most flying insects will not push their way through small holes.

 

Can screens be easily removed for cleaning or for winter storage?
Panel screens can be very easily removed and cleaned in a strong detergent solution, rinsed and air dried. The mesh will not shrink or rot and the powder coated aluminium frames are easily wiped over with a clean cloth. Roller type screens are best simply cleaned in position with a vacuum & soft brush attachment.

 

If the mesh is damaged, can it be easily replaced?
Yes no problem, but you will find the standard mesh is very strong in normal everyday use and with reasonable care it will last for many years. If pierced and only slightly damaged, you will discover that due to the woven and welded nature of the mesh, it does not easily run or split further. However, if badly damaged it is quite easy to replace.
