Get ready for Spring with our Insect Screens Posted on 8 Apr 19:22 , 0 comments

Enjoy the warmer weather and sunshine without having to deal with uninvited insects in your home! We can screen any size of door or window, whether that’s a sash window in your bedroom or sliding patio doors.

If you want to be able to have fresh air at all times of the day or night, installing an insect screen provides you with the reassurance of having an additional layer between you and the outside. It will stop uninvited insects from getting into your home and gives you an added sense of security. With additional benefit of providing full UV protection, they will also provide additional shade when required. Pet owners can also be comforted that the screens will create an additional barrier to stop them escaping. Essentially the screens will keep out what you don’t want, and keep in what you do!

The fly screens are crafted with both design and function in mind, seamlessly integrating into your home’s design. Fully retractable, they are the perfect solution for anyone looking to enjoy the benefits of natural ventilation and insect protection, all without compromising on aesthetics or convenience.

Key Features:

Custom Fit and Integration
The screens are made to measure, ensuring a perfect fit for your property. They can be tailored to match the existing frame colours, blending in perfectly with your home’s aesthetic. This makes them less of an "add-on" and more of an intentional part of your property.

Invisible When Not in Use The retractable design means that when you don't need the screen, it disappears completely out of sight. This feature helps maintain the clean lines of your doors and windows, giving you the benefit of fresh air without any visible disruption to your space.

Home Automation Compatibility
For those who prefer modern convenience, they can be integrated with home automation systems. This allows for easy operation, often with just a tap of a button or even through voice commands, making it even easier to manage airflow and insect prevention.

Unobstructed Views
While they act as an effective barrier against insects, these fly screens are designed to be as discreet as possible. The slim, almost invisible mesh doesn't block your view or diminish natural light, allowing you to enjoy both the fresh air and the beauty of the outdoors without any interference.

Sleek and Modern Appearance
With their minimalist design, these fly screens offer a sophisticated, clean look that complements a wide range of home styles. They protect your home from insects while also enhancing the visual appeal of your living space.

The Shutter Shop has spent more than 35 years helping homeowners find made-to-measure window treatments that work with the character and practical needs of their homes.

This article remains at its original URL as part of our complete journal archive. Its subject connects to the same specialist guidance our surveyors provide today: considering the window proportions, room, privacy requirements, light and the right product material before confirming a design.

A considered approach

Shutters are made to order, so good decisions begin with careful measuring and a clear understanding of how the room is used. Full height, café style and tier-on-tier panels each manage light and privacy differently, while bay windows, special shapes and wide openings need their own design response.

Our team can show you the current range of materials, colours, louvre sizes and hardware during a free home survey.

For confident DIY customers, selected shutter styles can also be measured and configured online. More complex bay, shaped and tracked installations are best discussed with our professional measure-and-fit team.
