What is the difference between a flyscreen and a blackout screen?

A flyscreen uses fine mesh to let air through while helping keep flies and mosquitoes outside. A blackout screen uses opaque material to reduce daylight and improve privacy. Choose a flyscreen for ventilation and insect protection, or a blackout screen for a darker room.

Can you fit flyscreens to existing doors and windows?

Yes, many existing aluminium, uPVC and timber openings can take a custom screen. We check the dimensions, frame depth, handles, opening direction and fixing surface before recommending the system.

How much do flyscreens and blackout screens cost in the UAE?

The price depends on the opening size, number of screens, selected system, frame finish and installation work. Send photos, approximate measurements and your location for initial guidance. Your final quote is based on confirmed measurements and specifications.

Which flyscreen is best for a balcony or sliding door?

A horizontally sliding pleated flyscreen is often suitable because the mesh folds to the side and does not need a separate swing area. Wider openings may need a double or multi-panel configuration. We confirm the arrangement after measuring.

How dark will a blackout screen make my room?

The opaque material reduces incoming daylight, but the finished result also depends on edge fit and light entering from other windows or doors. We discuss your room, show the available material and confirm the fitting details before you order.

Does installation require drilling?

The fixing method depends on the chosen system and the existing frame. Some catalogue systems use screw-fixed profiles or clip-on components. We explain the proposed method before installation; drill-free fitting is not suitable for every opening.

Can I have screens fitted in a rented home?

Yes, subject to any landlord or building-management approval you need. Ask us to explain the fixing method and frame changes before seeking permission.

How do I clean a pleated flyscreen?

Use a soft brush to remove loose dust and keep the guide tracks free of sand and debris. Move the screen gently and avoid pressure washing, sharp tools or harsh cleaners. Follow the care instructions provided for your chosen system.

How long does fabrication and installation take?

Timing depends on the number of openings, selected finish, system availability and production schedule. We confirm your fabrication and installation plan with the quote rather than promising the same turnaround for every home.

Do you supply screens in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the other emirates?

Flyscreen Studio is based in the UAE and manufactures screens locally. Send your emirate and community so our team can confirm site-visit availability and arrangements for your address.

Can a flyscreen keep pets or children from falling out?

Standard insect mesh is not a safety barrier, a security screen or a pet-containment system. Use a separately specified safety solution wherever fall prevention or containment is required.

Can the frame colour match my existing windows?

The catalogue offers RAL colours and, depending on the system, wood-effect, anodised and Kynar-coated finishes. We confirm the available finish and show a sample or colour reference before fabrication.
