Want to know more about sliding doors with flyscreen options and how Melbourne Aluminum Windows & Doors can integrate them into your home? Let’s open the door on how the addition of a flyscreen not only enhances the aesthetics of your home, but gives you a smart investment you’ll appreciate for years to come.

What are sliding doors with flyscreen options?

A sliding door usually consists of large glass panels that move smoothly on tracks. When combined with a flyscreen, an additional mesh panel is incorporated into the design. The flyscreen can be a retractable screen, an integrated sliding screen or a fixed mesh panel. The mesh is usually made from durable materials offering ventilation without compromising on security or the look of your Melbourne home.

Why you should use fly-screens with your sliding doors

One of the biggest reasons you may choose a sliding door with fly-screen option centres around creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. It allows you the option to open up your living space to outdoor patios, decks or gardens without worrying about pesky bugs coming into your home. In Melbourne, where we love being outdoors in warmer months, this is a great feature to have. While we love hanging around outdoors, we don’t want the mozzies and other insects joining us inside!

Energy efficiency is another great benefit. By leaving the glass door open and using the fly-screen on those days that aren’t quite as hot, you can take advantage of natural ventilation, reducing the need for air conditioning. This not only lowers your energy costs over time, but also makes your home more sustainable. Fly-screens can also add a layer of protection against dust and allergens, so you can enjoy the indoor air quality without a worry.

How you can use a fly-screen sliding door option for your home

You will usually find sliding doors with fly-screen options installed in living rooms, dining areas and kitchens that have doors leading to outdoor spaces. They are also ideal for verandas and alfresco or patio areas where airflow and visibility are essential. The fly-screen slides on a separate track alongside the glass door, so you can easily move it aside when you don’t need it.

Designs now also offer features like soft-close mechanisms, insect-proof seals and pet-friendly mesh, catering to different household needs. Some systems even include retractable fly-screens that disappear into the frame when not in use, providing an unobstructed view.
