How Much Do Retractable Fly Screens Cost in Australia 2024?
Retractable Fly Screens are an extremely popular choice for modern Australian homes in 2024 for very good reasons. A common question we are asked is how much does a retractable fly screen cost?
Retractable screens effortlessly screen all types of historically “difficult to screen” doors and windows (like popular bi-fold doors and casement windows) and maximise a home’s views and comfort. A retractable screen door is a stylish, discreet, practical and effective way to screen insects out of your home.
Types of Retractable Screens
The type of retractable fly screen you choose will affect the price of the screen. Generally there are two types of retractable screens:
- Smooth Retractable Screens – A smooth retractable flyscreen works the same way as a roller blind. When not in use, the screen rolls and retracts into a cassette fitted discretely either horizontally or vertically to the door or window frame.
- Pleated Retractable Fly Screens – A pleated screen is a cheaper option than a smooth retractable screen and can span a lot further to screen wider alfresco areas. A pleated flyscreen works in the same way as a concertina door with the pleated folds of screen stacking neatly back into itself.
The Cost of Retractable Fly Screens
Whereas regular fly screens cost around $75 sqm (custom made & installed), the advantages and technology of custom made retractable flyscreens mean they cost quite a bit more.
If you are looking to have your retractable screen pull out from one side of your frame (single sided retractable fly screen), in 2024 you should budget for the following:
Pleated Fly Screen in a Standard Track – From $470 sqm
Barrier Free Pleated Fly Screens – From $675 sqm (barrier free has the lowest, most discrete track available to blend into your existing flooring)
Smooth Retractable Screen – From $675 sqm
Barrier Free Smooth Retractable Fly Screen – From $600 sqm (no bottom floor track)
Variables That Add To the Cost of Retractable Fly Screens
Custom Colour – If you require a custom colour that is not in the standard colour range to colour match to your existing door or window frames, you should budget for an extra $440 per retractable screen door. Wood effect colours will cost from $675 extra.
Double Retractable – A pleated retractable fly screen that pulls out from both sides of the door/window frame to meet in the middle will cost aproximately an additional $450 (on top of the sqm $ rate). A double retractable is a great way to screen wide door openings like alfresco bi-fold doors and patio areas.
Blockout Fabric – Our simplicity screen (smooth retractable) may be upgraded to blockout fabric for an additional $499
Why Choose Retractable Fly Screens?
Retractable Screen Doors have gained in popularity during the 2023 due to style changes in the doors and windows people choose for their homes. Bi-fold doors, French doors, Stacker doors, Pivot doors, Awning windows and Casement windows are historically hard to screen doors and windows. Retractable Fly Screen Doors & Windows are the ideal solution to screening these types of doors and windows.
