Gorgeous bi-fold doors are hugely popular for opening up rooms to outdoor areas and bringing in natural light. However, when flung wide open, these stylish doors also allow pesky flying insects to freely enter your home. Not ideal at all, especially with risks like Ross River virus on the rise in Queensland.
As leaders in retractable fly screens for over 12 years, Intelliscreens has solutions to suit bi-folds of practically any size. Read on to learn about our Australian made screens that integrate elegantly with new and existing bi-fold doors.
Enjoy Indoor-Outdoor Living With Retractable Fly Screens for Bi-Fold Doors
Retractable insect screens give you the best of both worlds when used on bi-fold doors. When you want protection from flies or mosquitoes getting inside, simply pull out the mesh screen. And when you want to fully enjoy open, easy access, or your have your bi-folds closed, the screen retracts out of sight. The main advantages include:
- Unobstructed Views – When retracted, the mesh and housing disappear completely allowing full open vistas. Even when drawn closed the pleated screens offer little impediment to your views.
- Easy Access – Screens glide open smoothly only when protection is required, eliminating the need to constantly open/shut doors.
- Insect Protection – Keeps out sandflies, mosquitoes, flies, and more so you can relax bite/pest-free outdoors.
- Custom Fit – Made-to-measure for seamless integration within bi-fold door frames.
- Span Wide Openings – Quality systems can cover even very wide openings – up to 5m with one screen, and up to 10m with two screens.
- Stylish – Discreet mounting, colour, and housing options allow attractive integration suited to doors and decor. Streamlined profiles integrate beautifully without being obtrusive.

Selecting the Right Retractable Fly Screens for Bifold Doors
While the benefits are clear, all retractable fly screen systems are not made equal. There are a few considerations when selecting the best type, size, and features for your specific bi-fold doors:
Type of Retractable Fly Screen:
- We highly recommend Pleated insect screens which accordion in and out of the side channels with a simple push or pull. No unsightly housing barrel needed.
Size Capability:
Consider the dimensions of your bi-fold opening to ensure the systems you look at can cover the required span and height. Quality systems can screen openings for stacker doors, bi-fold doors, and other large spans up to 5 metres with one screen of up to 10m with two.
Installation Fit:
- Face fit mounts the external housing directly onto the door frame face with the mesh screening the glass panels.
- Reveal fit discreetly mounts housings within the door reveal, with the mesh on the room side of the glass panes.
Mesh Type and Visibility:
We offer a variety of screen options including sheerweave and mid-grey mesh to suit your visibility needs. Go for darker sheerweave mesh if completely clear views are essential when retracted. Or lighter mid-grey mesh balances insect protection and visibility.
Colour Options:
Match the housing and component colours to your existing door finish for integrated aesthetics. Many quality systems offer a range of standard or custom powder coat colours. We can provide qualified advice and quotes for the exact type of retractable system that suits your unique bi-fold doors.
