Flyscreen or security screen — what's actually the difference?
They might look similar from a distance, but they're designed to do very different jobs.
🦟 Flyscreens are primarily there to keep insects out while allowing airflow.
🔒 Security screens are built as a physical barrier. The frame, mesh or grille, locks, hinges and the way the screen is installed all play a part in the finished security system.
Putting stronger-looking mesh into a door doesn't automatically make it a compliant security screen.
That's why we ask what you're actually trying to achieve before recommending a product - insects, pets, airflow, visibility, security, budget… or usually a combination of them.
Not sure what you need? That's what we're here for.
