Measurement requirements
How to measure
Fly screens are ordered by make size, the finished size of the screen. Replacing a screen that fitted well? Measure the old screen frame edge to edge: the width at the top, middle and bottom.
Measure its height at the left, centre and right.
Use the smallest width and smallest height, in millimetres.
No old screen to measure? How a window screen is sized depends on the type of screen frame (extrusion) your window takes. Measure where the screen sits and enter the finished size the screen needs to be. We make it to the exact numbers you give us.
WidthsTop, middle and bottom. Use the smallest.HeightsLeft, centre and right. Use the smallest.
Width and height for each windowIn millimetres. Label each one, for example "Kitchen" or "Bedroom 2".
Mesh and frame colourPick one of our four meshes, and Black, White, Monument, Mill Finish or a custom colour.
Make sizeThe finished size of each screen. Fly screens are ordered by make size only, so no photos are needed.
Not sure about something? Add a note to your request. We check every request before anything is made, and email you if a size or option needs a second look.
Yes. If your old screen fitted well, measure the old frame edge to edge and enter those sizes in the quote form. If that's tricky, bring the old screen to our workshop and we can work from it.
Which mesh should I choose?
Fibreglass suits most windows. Choose Pet Mesh if pets push against the screen, Aluminium for a stiffer mesh that keeps its shape, or SS304 stainless for a strong mesh with the clearest view. Still unsure? Add a note to your request and we'll recommend one.
Will the screen fit my window?
If you measure the way our guide shows, it will. We check every request before we start, and if something looks unusual we contact you first.
Can I match the frame colour to my windows?
Yes. Choose Black, White, Monument or Mill Finish, or choose "Custom colour" in the quote form and pick any colour from the Dulux colour chart.
