How long does fly screen mesh last?

Our insect mesh has a life span of between 10 – 15 years under normal use conditions but this can be shortened if it is used in harsh conditions.

How do the roller fly screens work?

The insect mesh is housed inside the aluminium cassette out of view and is kept taut by a tensioned spring, which is out of view, inside the cassette. The end of the mesh is held by a handlebar which enables you to draw the mesh out of the cassette and down over the open window. From the head of the cassette down to the window sill are two side guides, which allow the mesh to travel along and also create a seal to help prevent any flies from entering your room.

Once the mesh has been pulled down to cover the window, the handlebar is held in place by clips that are fixed into the side guides, these prevent the mesh from retracting until you are ready to close the screen. When you release the handlebar from the clips the retraction spring takes the mesh back into the cassette.
