Living on the Sunshine Coast means enjoying breezy afternoons, subtropical evenings, and a lifestyle centred around outdoor–indoor living. Yet with open windows and doors comes a challenge: how do you enjoy the benefits of fresh air without inviting in insects or compromising your home security? The answer lies in investing in modern flyscreens that double as strong window screens for safety.
At Harlequin Blinds & Security, the focus is on delivering Australian made, custom built screens that combine style, comfort, and protection. Let’s explore why choosing the right fly screens makes all the difference.
Why Choose Flyscreens for Your Home?
Flyscreens are no longer just a summer accessory for keeping flies and mosquitoes at bay. Today’s fly screen mesh is engineered to enhance airflow, improve privacy, and provide an additional layer of security.
High-quality window screens allow you to:
- Enjoy natural ventilation – keep a window or door open without worrying about insects.
- Improve comfort – maintain airflow without relying solely on air conditioning.
- Enhance safety – deter intruders by installing security mesh in both screen windows and screen doors.
With Harlequin’s security window screens, you don’t have to choose between comfort and safety — you get both.
Security Meets Function in Window Screens
Unlike DIY fly screens or basic fibreglass mesh products, Harlequin’s range is purpose-built to meet security needs. Manufactured from high-grade aluminium with a 7mm extruded grille, these screens provide exceptional durability and are designed to suit different types of windows and doors.
Features include:
- Tuffscreen mesh options for added safety.
- A wide range of colour choices to match your home’s style.
- Custom built frames to fit openings precisely.
- Compatibility with casement, sliding, and awning windows.
This balance of function and design ensures you not only keep insects out but also add another level of protection to your property.
Types of Flyscreens to Explore
When considering the right screens for your home, you’ll find several types available to suit different spaces and security needs:
Standard Fly Screens
Ideal for insect control and airflow, standard flyscreens are perfect for everyday use. They’re suitable for small to large windows and can be custom built to measure.
Retractable Screens
Retractable screens are perfect for French doors, bi fold openings, or areas where flexibility is key. These screens operate smoothly and retract out of sight when not in use, making them ideal for modern homes where style is just as important as function.
Security Window Screens
For those wanting more than insect control, Harlequin’s security window screens deliver enhanced structural integrity. These are tested against impact and tampering, giving you confidence your home is protected.
Benefits Beyond Insect Control
Investing in modern fly screens goes far beyond stopping bugs. The benefits include:
- Safety – strong mesh resists tampering, ensuring family safe living.
- Privacy – tinted mesh or darker colours can enhance privacy without blocking views.
- Style – custom built finishes and powder-coated frames can complement shutters, blinds, or awnings.
- Durability – made from aluminium and advanced mesh materials, they resist rust, corrosion, and harsh climates.
These added advantages mean your investment in flyscreens continues to pay off in both comfort and peace of mind.
Professional Installation vs DIY Fly Screens
While DIY fly screens may look like a budget-friendly option, they often lack the strength and finish required for true security. Professional installation by Harlequin ensures:
- Screens are cut and built to the correct width and height.
- Each frame is securely fixed to resist tampering.
- Plunger pins and locks are fitted properly for safe everyday use.
- Products meet Australian Standards for quality and safety.
By choosing a trusted installer and manufacturer, you avoid the risks of poorly fitted mesh that won’t withstand daily wear or intruder attempts.
