Fabric Mesh Screens
Why Choose Fabric Mesh Screens?
Fabric mesh screens use a durable fibreglass mesh held within a custom aluminium frame to provide effective insect protection without restricting airflow or natural light. The lightweight mesh is easy to handle and allows generous ventilation when windows and doors are open, making it a practical everyday solution for Sydney homes that want to keep flies, mosquitoes, and other insects out. Fabric mesh screens are available in a range of configurations including hinged, sliding, retractable, and fixed panel options, so they can be matched to virtually any window or door type in the home. The aluminium frames are custom fabricated to the exact opening dimensions and finished in the full powder-coat colour range, ensuring a clean fit and consistent appearance with the existing window and door frames. For homeowners who want reliable insect protection without the higher cost of stainless steel security mesh, fabric mesh screens are the most popular and cost-effective option.

Product FAQs
Common Questions About Fabric Mesh Screens
These answers are here for visitors comparing this product type against other aluminium window and door systems.
Are fabric mesh screens effective against mosquitoes?
Yes. The fine fibreglass mesh blocks mosquitoes, flies, and other common household insects while still allowing air to pass through freely.
How long do fabric mesh screens last?
With normal use, a quality fibreglass mesh screen will last several years. The mesh can be replaced if it becomes torn or worn without needing to replace the aluminium frame.
Can fabric mesh screens be fitted to sliding doors?
Yes. Aluverse offers sliding mesh screen panels that run on their own track alongside the existing sliding door, making it easy to open and close the screen independently of the door.
What is the difference between fabric mesh and stainless steel mesh screens?
Fabric mesh is lighter, more affordable, and designed primarily for insect protection. Stainless steel mesh provides a higher level of physical security and greater durability in harsh coastal conditions, at a higher price point.
Can fabric mesh screens be retractable?
Yes. Retractable fabric mesh screens roll into a discreet housing when not in use, which is a popular option for doors and windows where a permanent fixed screen is not wanted.
Do fabric mesh screens restrict the view?
The mesh is designed to be as transparent as possible while still blocking insects. From inside the home, the view through a fabric mesh screen is largely unobstructed under normal lighting conditions.
