Flyscreen Replacement and Installation FAQs
Can damaged flyscreens be repaired or do they need full replacement?
Many flyscreens can be repaired by replacing the mesh and tidying up the frame. If the frame is
bent, corroded or no longer fits the opening, a new frame may be the better option. A tradie can
look at your existing screens and advise whether repair or replacement is more cost effective for
each window or door.
What types of mesh are available for flyscreens?
Common options include standard fibreglass mesh, finer midgie mesh for smaller insects, pet grade
mesh that handles more wear and aluminium or stainless steel mesh. The best choice depends on local
insects, pets, bushfire requirements and your budget. You can ask for mesh recommendations when you
post your job.
Can flyscreens be fitted to most existing windows and doors?
In many cases, yes. Tradies can usually design screens to suit common sliding windows, awning windows,
double hung windows and standard doors. Very old or unusual frames may need custom solutions or extra
preparation work. Clear photos of your windows and doors help tradies work out what is possible before
they quote.
Are flyscreens the same as security screens?
No. Standard flyscreens are designed to keep insects out rather than provide security. Security doors
and screens use stronger frames, locking systems and mesh that meets security standards. If you want
extra protection as well as insect control, mention this when you post your job so tradies can advise
whether a security product is more suitable.
