Choosing a Flyscreen Mesh?

Mesh Types

Flyscreens are essential to provide good ventilation while preventing bugs and other detritus from entering your home. Flyscreen doors and windows are made from an aluminium frame that is powder coated in your desired colour with fibreglass or aluminium mesh.

Operation

All flyscreen mesh types are available for Diamond Grille and Flyscreen products and available in,

  • Hinged Doors
  • Sliding Doors or screens
  • Window Screens

 Options 

  • Ultramesh Flyscreen is made using a fibreglass core with a black PVC coating, which has been UV stabilised for longevity. This flyscreen type is the most common type seen in the marketplace.learn more …here
  • Paw Proof Flyscreen flyscreen is manufactured from PVC coated flexible fibreglass and is recommended for homes where the screen will see harder than normal use; for example, pets that may climb on or scratch the screen. It is not indestructible, but Paw Proof flyscreen is twenty times stronger than standard fibreglass screen and is also UV stabilised.
    The nature of this material means that this type of mesh will not finish as taut as other flyscreen mesh types, but still sits flat within the screen
  • 316-grade Stainless Steel flyscreen has a PVC coating over stainless steel flymesh and boasts the longest outdoor life of any flyscreen. This screen type is non-flammable and fire resistant and is a requirement for bushfire prone areas. It is compliant to Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) 40. Grade 316 should be selected as a minimum within five kilometres of the surf. Get the Facts and Learn more about What we stock here at Malone Glass
