Not all fly screens are created equal
The quality differences in fly-screen mesh are huge. While inexpensive products from the DIY store are often brittle and discoloured after just one season, high-quality materials are designed for a much longer service life.
As a specialist for fly screens in Waltrop, we use only premium materials – and explain here why that matters.
Fibreglass vs. polyester: the big comparison
Polyester mesh (DIY-store standard): - Becomes brittle and fragile after 1–2 summers - Discolours under UV radiation - Tears easily in wind or with pets - Cheap to buy, but a short lifespan
Fibreglass mesh (InsektoSchutz standard): - Extremely tear-resistant and dimensionally stable - UV-resistant – no discolouration even after years - Weather-resistant in heat, frost and damp - The cheaper choice in the long term
Premium fine mesh: particularly unobtrusive insect protection
Our premium offering for customers in Waltrop and the Ruhr region: a high-quality fine mesh with particularly thin strands that offers excellent air permeability and is barely noticeable once installed – ideal for prominent windows and patio doors.
Aluminium profiles: stability for decades
Our fly-screen frames are made of extruded aluminium – not plastic, like most DIY-store products. The advantages:
