Yes, window screens keep mosquitoes out. They not only keep mosquitoes, flies, and other insects outside, but they also let fresh air circulate inside, allowing you to keep your window open without running the danger of getting bitten. You should be aware that a standard 18x16 fly screen mesh will not keep out smaller insects found in some parts of Scotland, such as midges. For this, you should select a midge screen.

If you are looking to keep flies and other insects out of your property, but you already have pets, then you should consider pet mesh which is a vinyl-coated polyester. Also known as high resistant and claw resistant mesh, pet mesh is both flexible and up to 7 times stronger than the usual fibreglass screens, is used to make great pet-resistant fly screens in various formats ranging from framed fly screens to roller insect screens. From the start, they were very professional as they provided us with various options for our slightly odd situation. They then sent an engineer our way to assess the situation in person and provide a more detailed quote. After that, a second visit was arranged to take samples of the colour of the windows, as well as precise measurements to install some supports that were needed to run the guides on the sides of the windows. A standard flyscreen can easily be torn or damaged by exuberant pets, especially those with sharp beaks or claws. A pet resistant screen features a special pet-proof or claw-proof mesh which is woven using PVC-coated polyester yarn, which is seven times more durable than untreated nylon or fibreglass. This mesh is more resistant to the claws and beaks of cats, dogs and birds, but remains flexible enough to be used in both framed mesh fly screens and roller screens. When you open your casement window, the sash opens out with a winder or on an arm, which is usually located at the base or centre of the window frame. The problem is with a lot of flyscreens is they have to fit around the winder's lever or be removed when the window is open on the arm. As a result, you'll have a clunky look at the base of your window.

removed and stored away. Our sliding fly screens are suited to larger window openings and there is the option of horizontal sliding fly screens and vertical sliding fly screens that Good quality glass fibre fly screen mesh has a lifespan of up to 15 years. A lower quality mesh may be impacted by being exposed to UV rays which could reduce that life span significantly. Life span is also impacted by wear and tear and also damage. Obviously puncturing the mesh of a fly screen, will reduce it’s effectiveness. Hence the type of fly screen that the mesh is incorporated into also has an impact on life span. A framed fly screen is more prone to damage than a roller fly screen for example. The mesh on roller fly screens only needs to be deployed when the windows or door is open, meaning the mesh is hidden away in the cassette, for a greater proportion of the time, protecting it from damage. We find that roller fly screen have the longest life span compared to other types of fly screens. By applying pressure this activates the ‘Pressure Sensitive Glue’, so it is important to pay special attention to the corners as these are often missed. You may either buy citronella spray with its own sprayer, or you can buy citronella oil in a tiny bottle and dilute it with water to use in a regular spray bottle. As an alternative, you can spray citronella over the screen by dampening a paper towel with citronella.
