Where a hinged door would slow down constant foot traffic, heavy duty strip mesh fly screen doors allows people walk straight through — kitchen staff, trolleys, deliveries — while keeping flies, wasps, mosquitoes, midges and moths on the outside. Built for single or double commercial doorways, it’s a genuine year-round barrier rather than a seasonal fix, and it meets Food Safety Regulations for kitchens and food storage areas.
Each strip is 200mm wide with a soft sewn edge — so nobody catches themselves walking through — and a weight sewn into the base that lets the strip swing back into place the instant someone’s passed through, even in a breezy doorway. The panels overlap each other to keep the barrier continuous, and we offer either a 30% overlap for standard use or a 50% overlap for particularly exposed or windy locations.
Built for the harshest environments
The mesh itself is Suntex — a heavyweight industrial polyester built to withstand relentless daily use — while the header rail and fittings are 403-grade stainless steel, tough enough to have been chosen by P&O Ferries for use in salty sea air. If it holds up on a ferry deck, it will hold up on a kitchen doorway.
Where these doors are used
Because you can walk straight through it without breaking stride, strip mesh copes with footfall a hinged or roller screen can’t — hands stay free, trolleys keep moving, and the barrier falls straight back into place behind you. That’s why it’s the door of choice anywhere flies need keeping out but people, stock or air still need to move freely. A few of the settings our customers fit it in:
Food retail & preparation
- Butchers & meat counters
- Fishmongers
- Bakeries
- Delicatessens
- Farm shops
- Supermarket prep areas
- Greengrocers
Hospitality & catering
- Restaurants
- Takeaways
- Commercial kitchens
- Pub kitchens
- Cafés & coffee shops
- Hotel kitchens
- Catering production units
Food manufacturing & processing
- Food factories
- Meat processing facilities
- Packing areas
- Dairy processing
- Fresh produce facilities
Commercial & industrial
- Warehouse pedestrian entrances
- Waste handling zones
- Garden centres
- Agricultural buildings
- Stable doors
- Loading bays requiring airflow
Whichever of these matches your doorway, the door is made to your exact height and dispatched in 4 working days — if you’re not sure which overlap or fitting suits the setting, just get in touch and we’ll point you to the right spec.
Fitting and upkeep
Installation is a genuinely quick job: screw the header rail to your door frame, then hook the strips onto it — no specialist tools required, and the whole door is ready in minutes. Because each strip simply lifts off the rail, cleaning is just as straightforward: unhook them for a wash down, or run them through an industrial dishwasher if your kitchen has one, then hook them straight back on.
Made to your exact door height, this is about as low-maintenance as an insect barrier gets — and beyond keeping the flies out, the mesh also holds back leaves and general debris without cutting down daylight or airflow through the doorway.
The supplied header rail may be slightly longer than ordered and is easily trimmed to size.

Will the strips stay in place in a breezy doorway?
Yes, each strip has a weight sewn into the base so it swings back into position immediately after someone’s passed through.
