Chain Fly Screens For Doors

Aluminium chain fly screens are a practical, hard-working solution for keeping insects out while letting fresh air and foot traffic flow freely. Designed for busy doorways, they’re especially popular in commercial and high-use environments where traditional fly screens just don’t cut it.

What are the benefits of using chain link fly screens?

Chain link fly screens offer a smart balance of protection, airflow, and convenience. The hanging aluminium chains create a moving barrier that insects avoid, while still allowing people, trolleys, and staff to pass through easily—no doors to open, no hands required. They won’t tear like mesh and require very little maintenance. On top of that, they have a clean, industrial look that suits both modern homes and commercial spaces.

Are aluminium chain fly screens durable for commercial use?

Absolutely. Aluminium chain fly screens are built for durability. The aluminium links are corrosion-resistant, weather-tough, and designed to withstand constant use without fraying or breaking. That makes them ideal for restaurants, cafés, warehouses, shops, and food prep areas where doors are opening all day long. They’re a long-term solution that keeps performing even in demanding environments.

Do chain fly screens keep flies out?

Yes—very effectively. While not a sealed barrier, the weight and movement of the aluminium chains deter flies and other insects from entering. As the chains gently move and create a visual and physical obstacle, flies are far less likely to pass through, helping maintain cleaner, more hygienic indoor spaces.

In short: aluminium chain fly screens are tough, low-maintenance, and highly effective at reducing flies—without blocking airflow or slowing you down. A simple solution that works hard where it matters most.

How will the door arrive?

The chain fly screens are supplied ready assembled and arrive at our standard height of 2200mm, the screens are easily shortened by removing the links with a screwdriver to the desired length and come with pan head screws and brackets so you can choose how you wish to hang the door.

For wider openings, the additional width will arrive as a separate piece, so for example, if you needed a door 1500mm wide, you would receive one section of 1000mm and another of 500mm to make the total 1500mm width.

To order, simply input the total width required, and the chains will come with the required hanging brackets.

Are there any differences in Chain quality?

Yes, you will find that the cheaper the screen then the lighter the actual chain wire will be. The diameter of the chain can vary from less than 1mm to 1.8mm resulting in less weight which will allow flies to enter as the chains move around more freely. The cost of the chain is based on the weight of the Aluminium used, so the lower the cost the lighter the chain. Also to be totally rustproof they need to be properly anodised, again most cheaper options aren’t fully anodised, but this will only show over time.
