Grey fly screens: choosing the colour and system

Grey mesh is one of the standard insect protection options offered by manufacturers. It allows ventilation and a view outside. Consider the specific weave as well as the shade.

View the sample against the glass.

A grey colour in a catalogue does not tell you everything about visibility. Compare the sample against the light and look through it from the place in the room where you usually spend time.

When comparing grey and black mesh, check thread thickness and the mesh openings too. Otherwise, you may be comparing different mesh types as well as different colours.

Frame colour is a separate choice.

The frame and mesh need not be the same colour. The frame can be coordinated with your window, while the mesh is selected for its appearance and properties. Available combinations depend on the system.

Key points: colour should not replace a discussion about convenient everyday use.

Which window do you want to open for ventilation?

A window and a frequently used patio door need different solutions. Discuss whether the screen will be opened daily, how the window opens and how much fixing space is available. A consultant will assess the dimensions and help select a suitable construction.
