Insect Screens for Retirement Villages

Easy-to-use, low-maintenance screening for villas and units, installed by our own team.

Screening designed for village living

Retirement villages want screening that residents can use easily and that keeps looking after itself. Phantom retractable screens suit both: they are light to operate, they retract out of sight when not in use, and they let residents leave doors and windows open for fresh air without flies, mosquitoes, or midges getting in. The hardware is built to be used every day for years, and mesh cartridges and parts are replaceable, so a screen is serviced rather than replaced.

We can screen a single villa or coordinate a whole stage with the village - hinged, sliding, and ranch-slider doors, wide sliders and stackers on the Wall Screen system, and made-to-measure window screens, all installed by our own team.

For apartment-style units with lift access, the Executive motorised screen is available as a two-part system that is rejoined on site, with a battery motor that charges by USB-C so no wiring is needed - see our guide to patio screens for apartments.

Villages we have worked in

We have installed across many of the region’s retirement villages, and at several we are an approved or recommended provider:

Working with your village

We are happy to work with your village to become an approved or preferred provider - we do this often. If your administration needs pricing, product information, insurance or health-and-safety documentation, or a standard scope for villas, just ask and we will provide whatever helps get us on your list.

Talk to us about your village

Whether you are an operator planning a stage or a resident screening your villa, send us your village and a couple of photos and we will come back with the right approach and an indicative price.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do you work with retirement village operators? +

Yes. We work with village operators and developers on new builds and existing villas, and we are an approved or recommended provider at several villages. We can quote a single villa or a whole stage, and coordinate access and timing with the village.

Can residents arrange screens themselves? +

Often, yes - it depends on the village's rules. Some villages have us as the go-to provider so residents can deal with us directly; others prefer enquiries to come through the operator. If you are a resident, send us your village and we will let you know the best way to proceed.

Why do retractable screens suit older residents? +

They are light to operate, retract out of sight when not needed, and let residents keep doors and windows open for fresh air without insects. There is no heavy frame to lift or store, and the mesh cartridges and parts are replaceable, so a screen is serviced rather than thrown away.

Do you screen the larger doors common in villas? +

Yes. Our Wall Screen system spans wide sliders and stacking doors, and we fit hinged, sliding, and ranch-slider doors as well as windows - so the whole villa can be screened to suit how each resident uses the space.

Where do you install for villages? +

Across the upper North Island, from Taupo north - Northland, Auckland, Waikato and the Bay of Plenty - which covers most of the region's villages. We take on larger or out-of-area village work nationwide by arrangement.
