Benefits Of Fly Screens On The Sunshine Coast
Fly screens are one the most popular door and screen accessories amongst Australian households. But they do more than just block out annoying and unwanted insect guests, they allow natural light and fresh air into your home. Some of the main benefits of fly screens include:
Increase Natural Light
Compared to traditional doors, flyscreens allow for more light into your home, adding a sense of space as well as saving energy.
Improved Airflow and Ventilation
One of the primary reasons people install fly screens on the Sunshine Coast is to enhance ventilation. The coastal climate is perfect for fresh air, but without fly screens, the open windows can lead to the intrusion of pests. Fly screens allow homeowners to enjoy the outdoors from the safety of their homes without worrying about bugs, all while ensuring proper airflow to keep your living spaces cool and comfortable.
Health & Hygiene
Insects like mosquitoes aren’t just annoying; they can carry diseases like Ross River virus or dengue fever. Having fly screens in place helps prevent these pests from entering your home and reduces the risk of health issues. In addition, flies can contaminate food, making them a hygiene concern. With fly screens, Sunshine Coast homeowners can enjoy peace of mind knowing their kitchens and living spaces are protected from insects.
Preserving Your Home
Insects, particularly flies and ants, can damage furniture and cause dirt buildup inside your home. Fly screens act as a protective barrier that helps prevent these pests from creating a mess. Not only will this help maintain cleanliness in your home, but it can also prevent damage to fabrics, wood and other materials.
Eco-Friendly and Cost-Effective
Fly screens are a sustainable solution for pest control. Unlike chemical sprays or traps, they don’t require ongoing purchases of products or harsh chemicals. They’re low-maintenance, built to last and provide long-term protection. By opting for fly screens, Sunshine Coast residents enjoy a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution to keeping their homes pest-free.

Aluminium vs Fibreglass Fly Screens: What’s Best?
Fibreglass flyscreens are popular as they do not corrode as much as some types of metal flyscreens. However, they can stretch and tear more easily. By contrast, aluminium flyscreens are especially durable and longer-lasting, yet can bend under certain strains.
What is the Difference Between a Standard Fibreglass Mesh vs. Pet screen Polyester mesh?
The main differences between standard vs pet screen mesh and standard mesh are yarn diameter and the openness percentage. Pet screen yarn is typically thicker to protect against pet damage like tears from claws. However, because it is thicker, pet screens are less open, meaning you let less air through your screen. If this is a concern for you we maybe able to add a mid-rail so that you can divide the mesh to have petscreen in the bottom and fibreglass mesh in the top section.
What is better for my dog? Why not aluminium? Why use Petscreen polyester mesh vs aluminium mesh?
Aluminium while it is stronger, it will hurt the pet’s paws as they jump or slide on the screen. With an openness of 68% with aluminium you will get more airflow but it can cause damage and minor cuts on your pet’s paws so we suggest using the specific petscreen to protect your pets and at the same time have less holes in your screen.
