Summer is fast approaching here in Australia. The sunny days and warm nights are great, but this time of year also brings some unwanted guests – flies, mosquitoes, moths and more. As the weather heats up, these pesky insects will be looking to get into your home for food, water and shelter.
The best way to keep them out? Install retractable fly screens from Intelliscreens.
Why You Need Retractable Screens for Summer
Retractable Fly screens on your large opening doors are an absolute must for Australian homes during the warmer months. Here are some key reasons why:
- Keep insects out – Flies, mosquitoes, moths and other bugs can easily make their way into your house through open doors and windows. Fly screens form a barrier to stop them entering your home.
- Allow fresh air in – With retractable screens installed, you can open up your home without letting the bugs in. This allows fresh air to circulate through your home, helping you stay cool on hot summer days and nights.
- Prevent bites and stings – Some common insects like mosquitoes and wasps can bite or sting. Fly screens keep these dangerous bugs out of your living spaces, preventing nasty bites.
- Minimise dirt and dust – retractable screens add another layer of filtration to prevent dirt, dust and debris being blown into your home by the wind.
- Let you enjoy the outdoors – With our pleated retractable screens, you can leave large sliding, stacker or french doors open to patios, balconies and pool areas to enjoy the outdoors without being bothered by insects.
Why Retractable Fly Screens are the Best to Optimise Indoor/Outdoor Living
Old-fashioned fixed fly screens have some downsides. They can be obtrusive, block your view, and be difficult to open and close.That’s why modern retractable fly screens are a much better solution. Here are some of the benefits of retractable fly screens:
- Discreet when not in use – Pleated Retractable fly screens fold up unobtrusively when not in use. This gives you unobstructed views and prevents the screens from getting damaged.

- Suit any home design – With a wide choice of frame colors and screen mesh types, retractable screens can be matched to any style of architecture and décor.
