Fly Mesh Melbourne: Insect Screens for Windows and Doors
Made-to-measure flyscreens that keep bugs out, let the breeze in and sit neatly on your existing windows and doors.
Insect Protection
Keep flies, mosquitoes and other pests outside while windows and doors stay open.
Fresh Airflow
Fine mesh lets breeze and daylight through without leaving the opening unprotected.
Made to Measure
Frames and mesh are sized to the opening so the screen sits neatly and stays secure.
Professional Fitting
Measured, manufactured and installed so handles, locks and window operation stay usable.
Custom Flyscreens for Melbourne Homes
Fly mesh is a practical screen for Melbourne weather: open the window for air without inviting flies, mosquitoes and other insects inside. Screens are made to the opening in an aluminium frame, then fitted so they look part of the window rather than an afterthought.
Sun & Shade measures, makes and installs fly mesh for windows and doors across Melbourne. This is insect screening, not an outdoor privacy wall and not a security grille. If a different covering is a better fit, we can also discuss roller shutters or internal blinds during the same visit.
Mesh Options
Melbourne flyscreen suppliers typically offer fibreglass, aluminium and pet mesh. We help you choose based on budget, durability, pets and how the window is used.
Fibreglass mesh
The usual choice for most Melbourne windows. It is lightweight, rust-resistant, affordable and still lets plenty of air and view through.
Aluminium mesh
A stronger, more rigid screen for openings that need extra durability or heat resistance, while remaining see-through.
Pet mesh
A tougher weave for homes with dogs, cats or children, reducing the chance of claws or toys punching through standard flywire.
Where Fly Mesh Can Be Fitted
| Opening | Typical use | What we check |
|---|---|---|
| Sliding windows | Everyday insect screening | Measure the moving sash so the screen tracks cleanly and can still be removed for cleaning. |
| Awning and casement windows | Screening without blocking the opener | Confirm hinge direction and handle clearance before the frame is made. |
| Double-hung windows | Upper and lower sash coverage | Check both sashes, meeting rails and how the screen will be removed. |
| Doors | Walk-through fly protection | Hinged or sliding fly doors can be made to the opening, with a colour-matched aluminium frame. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Fly mesh (also called flyscreen or insect screen) is a fine mesh fitted in an aluminium frame over a window or door. It keeps insects out while still allowing fresh air, daylight and a view through the opening.
Fibreglass mesh suits most homes. Aluminium mesh is stronger and more heat-resistant. Pet mesh is a better choice where animals or children are likely to push against the screen. Sun & Shade confirms the option during the site visit.
Yes. Fly mesh can be made for many existing sliding, awning, casement, double-hung and bay windows, as well as hinged and sliding doors. Suitability depends on the frame, handle clearance and how the window opens.
Yes. Standard fly mesh is designed to let air move through while stopping flies, mosquitoes and similar insects. Visibility remains high with fibreglass and aluminium mesh.
No. Fly mesh is for insect protection and ventilation. It is not a security barrier. If an opening also needs a stronger physical cover, discuss roller shutters or another product during your consultation.
Aluminium flyscreen frames are commonly powder-coated and can often be matched to existing window and door colours. Available colours are confirmed before manufacture.
Price depends on opening size, mesh type, frame colour, quantity and installation access. Sun & Shade provides a written quote after measuring the windows or doors.
In many cases existing frames can be re-meshed, or a full new screen can be made if the frame is damaged. The better approach is assessed on site.
