Frequent Questions About Fly Screen Doors
What are the benefits of retractable insect screens compared to traditional hinged or sliding screens?
Retractable insect screens like the rollaway door screen or pleated door screen fold or roll away when not needed, making them a much better all-around solution for doors. They are also more aesthetically pleasing, don’t disrupt the view, easy to clean and maintain.
Are retractable insect screens suitable for french doors and bifold doors?
Yes, retractable insect screens are a practical solution for french and bifold doors as they don’t get in the way of the door and don’t add a hinged or sliding fixed panel screen to the existing joinery.
How much do insect door screens cost?
Insect screens for doors can vary greatly in price depending on the style or product chosen and the size of the opening. For example, using high-quality fly screens, such as Phantom Screens, can cost as little as $1000 for a small door, but the price can reach $10,000 for recessed units in larger stacker doors that are 9m wide. It is best to send an enquiry for a better indication of the price.
Are retractable insect screens suitable for in-swing and out-swing doors?
Retractable fly screens are a great asset for any home and will provide satisfaction every time you use the door for years to come. They can be installed on a smaller span and with a small 45mm cassette.
How do fly screens stop mosquitoes?
Fly screens have small mesh holes that allow fresh air to flow through while preventing mosquitoes from entering the home. The mesh size is small enough to prevent mosquitoes from fitting through, while still allowing light and maintaining the view. Phantom Screens offers several mesh options in various colours and depths of view.
Are good quality insect screens worth it?
Yes, good quality insect screens are worth it, as they can save money on chemical fly spray and cooling costs, as well as prevent damage from fly poop and the annoyance of flies and mosquitoes. If they are of high Phantom Screens quality using the best materials then they also provide a long-term cost-effective solution lasting decades.
Do you offer pet proof screens on doors?
Yes, we do offer pet-proof screens. They are called Wall screens or Zip Tracked screens. However, we do not offer this option for window screens or legacy rollaway door screens as the mesh can be pushed or pulled out of the tracks with force, which would negate the purpose of a pet-proof screen.
The mesh on the Wall screen (and Executive outdoor screen) is zipped in like a drum so we can use a pet mesh.
What is the warranty on the screens?
Limited lifetime! Please see our resources page for the latest warranty document.
Why are aluminium-hinged insect screen doors and sliding screens out of fashion?
Sliding insect screen doors and hinged screens are considered unsightly and impede the view. Customers today want to keep flies and insects out of their living spaces while maintaining an aesthetically pleasing environment. To do this they tend to choose a Brio pleated screen for larger openings and if they like the foldaway design or a rollaway door screen if flat mesh is preferred.
How are insect screens for doors different from window screens?
Insect screens for doors are similar to screens for windows but are a completely different model. For more information, see the Serene window screen click here.
Can the aluminium frames be powder-coated and colour-matched to existing joinery?
Retractable fly screens can be powder-coated in a variety of colours, including matching existing joinery using the Dulux powder-coat colour range.
Where are Phantom Screens screens manufactured?
Phantom Screens manufactures fly screens for door track components and window insect screens in Tauranga, New Zealand. The mesh component for the screen doors is made to order in our sister factory in Australia and shipped to us.
How to care for door screens after they are installed?
Door screens require occasional cleaning, lubricating the tracks and removing debris, and storing the screens away when they are not in use in order to extend their lifespan.
How are the door screens fitted?
Retractable insect screens for doors are installed on the inside of the frame, with two tracks at the top and bottom and a cassette placed vertically.
The tracks guide the mesh to make sure there are no spaces for bugs to enter.
It is recommended that these screens be installed by Phantom-trained experts, but in some cases, the product may be available for purchase and self-installation.
What is a "pleated" door screen?
The Pleated screen is a type of insect mesh that is folded back onto itself when retracted. Phantom Screens use a concertina (or pleats) for a sleek and discreet design. Unlike other options, the Brio pleated screen does not have a cassette with a spring-tensioned mechanism, instead, it utilises a braided string that self-tensions and threads through four to six sections of the screen, using the bottom track as a pathway to push and pull as it open and close. The top track keeps the screen firmly in place. The beauty of this style of material is that in the long run, the only part that may need replacing is the braided thread, depending on the location of the screen. The Brio Pleated Screen is suitable for a wide range of architectural openings such as bi-folding panels, french doors, windows, and sliding panels, and can screen 3.2 meters high and 9 meters wide with a double screen that meets in the middle.
