Insect screens help you use open windows and doors while limiting insects entering through the screened opening. Impact Blinds offers retractable and pleated options, with advice on the frame and access requirements for your home.
Retractable or pleated?
A retractable screen stores its mesh in a cassette and moves along guides. A pleated screen folds its mesh towards the side when opened. The most suitable arrangement depends on the opening, available mounting space and how often it is used.
For a door, consider the direction of travel, threshold and where people stand as they open it. For a window, consider the handle and access for cleaning or operating the sash.
Fit matters as much as mesh
A screen needs to work with the existing joinery. Photos of the full opening, surrounding frame and any obstructions help us discuss the right starting point. Final measurements and suitability should be checked before manufacture.
An insect screen is not a security barrier or fall-prevention device. If security is part of your brief, raise it separately rather than assuming an insect mesh provides that protection.
A tidy, practical addition
Compare the available frame finishes with your doors and windows for a consistent appearance. Ask for a quote that identifies the screen type, frame, size and installation scope.
Our team is based in Wairau Valley and can discuss installation in Auckland. Keep guides clear and clean the mesh gently using its supplied care instructions. Avoid forcing a screen if debris or misalignment makes it difficult to move.
Questions about insect screens for windows and doors
Will a screen suit a large sliding or bi-fold door?
Some openings may suit a pleated arrangement, but size, track position and access need assessment. Send photos and dimensions so we can confirm an appropriate option.
Planning your measure, quote and warranty
Can you visit to measure my windows?
Yes. Impact Blinds offers free visits to measure. Tell us your Auckland suburb, the windows involved and any fitting concerns so we can arrange a suitable appointment.
What information helps you prepare a quote?
Send photos, approximate width and drop for each opening, your preferred material and whether you need installation. We will confirm the product specification and final sizes before manufacture. See our guide to comparing blinds costs.
Which products have the 10-year warranty?
Blinds manufactured in our Auckland factory and our shutters come with a 10-year warranty. Other products carry the warranty shown on your quote or invoice. See warranty details and how to make a claim.
