Only houseflies have the potential to spread dangerous illnesses like:
- Salmonella
- Cholera
- Typhoid
- Dysentery
The likelihood of diseases spreading within your home is already very high when you factor in the different sub-species of carriers and the dangers they may bring.
How, therefore, can you defend your house from these infectious guests? The best option for preventing insects and pests from entering the interior of your home or business in any season is to use fly screens, which Premier Screens Ltd, a UK-based firm provides.
Fly screen materials include the following:
1. PVC coated fibreglass.
Fiberglass, the most widely used material for fly screens (nylon mesh), is well-liked in Australia’s coastal areas since it doesn’t corrode, rust, or discolour. However, unlike other fabrics, it stretches and tears more readily.
2. Aluminium
Fly screen materials made of aluminium, another popular choice, can survive severe weather. Although more resilient than fiberglass, aluminium can fold and dent over time. There is heavy-duty aluminium that can guard against this.
3. Stainless steel
Stainless steel is a sturdy and resilient material suggested for residences in bushfire-prone areas. For this reason, most security screen alternatives also employ stainless steel.
4. Solar screens
Solar screens are popular where sun protection is required because they offer shade, block sunlight, and absorb heat. They are, therefore, perfect for locations close to porches and verandas.
5. Pet screen
Pet screens are made of sturdy polyester coated with vinyl to prevent scratching and damage from pets.
6. Weave
The number of strands in a square inch determines how many spaces are finally created by weaving a fly screen. The tighter the weave, the less likely something can enter through an open window or door.
Consider your alternatives before choosing the tightest weave because the trade-off is that it might obstruct or otherwise interfere with your perspective.
Sandfly screens have a tight weave to provide relief from midges if you live near the shore.
Colour
Fly screen frames can be found in many colours, materials, and weaves. Almost any standard colour from the Dulux and Inter-pon powder coating charts can make Artilux retractable fly screens and Allegro pleated insect screens. Additionally, transparent anodized and beautiful woodgrain treatments are offered for the systems.
The following colours are standard for both our retractable and Allegro pleated bug screens:
- Pearl white (classic pearl white)
- Satin black
- Clear anodise.
Style
Fly screens come in various designs, but there are three primary categories to consider.
Designs
The screens for windows are one style, while those for patio doors are another. Since the windows in houses and offices have varied styles, the fly mesh needed for them is made to match that style.
The Magnetic Fly Screen is a third type of fly screen. The screen is identical to other classes except for the magnets holding the mesh to the window frame. The ease with which its screen may be removed for cleaning makes it very appealing.
Conclusion
Fly screens are protective barriers designed to keep flying insects like flies, mosquitoes, and gnats out of homes and businesses, promoting a healthier and more comfortable living environment.
