Our standard screen suits openings up to 2.4m high and 2.7m wide (or 5.4m wide in a dual screen system).

High Quality Retractable Flyscreens Melbourne
RetractAscreen’s retractable flyscreens are among the best on the market with choices of fibreglass mesh to suit your purpose. Plain mesh is the most popular choice for its sheer, almost invisible finish. The super fine weave of the midge mesh keeps the tiniest of bugs out. Invisi-stripe mesh has a subtle, horizontal weave that makes the screen more visible as you approach it, which helps to avoid collisions and expensive repairs. Tough mesh is more resilient if you have curious kids or four-legged family members and is fantastic for enclosing balconies and alfresco areas.
Our expert designers and installers can assess your doors, windows and alfresco to offer the best advice for retractable screens to suit. We know it’s a significant investment, but we also know the quality of our RetractAscreen – that’s why it’s covered by a product and workmanship warranty of up to ten years. You deserve the best for your home and our team of professionals will work hard to ensure you get it. We have 40 years’ experience keeping bugs out of Melbourne homes, so we know what we’re doing!

Made in Australia and custom-fitted for any door or window, RetractAscreen is perfect for residential homes and commercial properties. Instead of keeping your windows closed all summer or struggling with traditional fly screens, you can opt for budget friendly RetractAscreen retractable screens doors and enjoy the warmer temperatures without the annoyance of flies and insects.
How do Retractable Screen Doors Work?
Australian temperatures can be tough to cope with, so it’s vital you and your home are prepared for anything. Retractable flyscreens offer functionality, as well as a visually pleasing effect. Whether you want to throw your doors open and enjoy the fresh air, dine al fresco or create a relaxing outdoor environment, retractable screen doors will ensure you aren’t plagued by insects.
When not in use, retractable screen doors fit neatly into a small cassette. Affixed to your existing window fittings, the small cassette is barely noticeable and certainly won’t detract from your existing frames or surrounding décor.
As insects begin to appear, you can simply pull the door retractable screen across and create an insect-free environment!
Retractable Flyscreens for Bifold Doors
Bifold doors are a fantastic way to enjoy the long days and hazy summers, whether you enjoy the heat or not. With the option to have bifold doors stretching the entire length of your property, you can effectively open your house up and create the ultimate indoor/outdoor environment.
Of course, having such a large open space can leave you vulnerable to insects, so effective door retractable screens are a must. With custom RetractAscreens, your bifold doors can be complemented with an easyto-use retractable screen door, regardless of their size or shape.
Our RetractAscreen Premium range is the perfect solution for big openings up to 3300mm high and 4500mm wide with a single screen, or a whopping 9000mm with a dual screen system. We also have choices of high-impact rated meshes to mitigate accidental collision damage by tipsy visitors or large excitable canines!
All our screens are Australian made and custom sized to suit your doors to the millimetre. We have a range of standard Colorbond colours in the range, but can match just about any colour you need. Each screen is measured and quoted according to size and installation method, with RetractAscreen Premium Single screens starting at $2200 and Dual screens at $3300.
Retractable Flyscreens for Double French Doors
Double doors can easily be thrown open to let the fresh air in, which is why they’re so popular in Australian homes. More than a functional way to access your property, double doors can provide a great way to incorporate your alfresco or outdoor space into your living environment. If you want to leave double doors open and enjoy the warm weather, you’ll need to have effective flyscreens in place. Fly doors are a hassle as they just take up room, but the RetractAscreen Slimline is discreet and space-saving. Whether your double doors are standard-sized or have been custom-made, RetractAscreen will be made to your exact requirements.
Our skilled carpenters have solutions to ensure the sill track won’t create a tripping hazard, and that the components are a perfect match to your doors. The RetractAscreen Slimline is a great solution for doors up to 2400 high and 1800 wide, with a sheer lightweight mesh that won’t spoil your outlook.
RetractAscreen Slimline is all Australian made (even the screws!) in custom sizes and colours to suit your needs, starting at around $1800. Manufacturing lead time is generally around 4 weeks and installation takes 2-3 hours.
Retractable Flyscreens for Stacker Doors
Stacker Doors or Stacking Sliding Doors are fast becoming the most popular choice for Australian homes. With their ease of use, giant glass wall effect and huge opening, they offer great functionality and airflow until the bugs start coming in…
Whilst you may want to let the fresh air into your home, you probably don’t want the hundreds of insects that hitch a ride on the breeze. With RetractAscreen you can enjoy stress-free relaxation without the annoyance of creepy crawly critters, and still enjoy your beautiful view all year round.
Offering choices of Plain Mesh or the heavier duty Pet Mesh, this all Australian Made retractable flyscreen is the perfect solution for any family home. It takes about 6 weeks to make in standard Colorbond® colours and around 2-3 hours’ installation time.
Starting at around $2,200 installed, the RetractAscreen Premium represents great value for money when you consider the benefits of natural cool breeze versus fans and airconditioners and bug zappers. As with all our RetractAscreen products, it’s covered by a 5 year warranty against defects in product or workmanship.
Roll-Up Flyscreens
Entertaining family and friends, especially during warmer evenings, is one of life’s simple pleasures. But how often do bugs join the party? Thanks to our custom-made retractable flyscreens you can keep your servery window open with the fresh air and conversation flowing, and without flies invading your home.
RetractAscreen Slimline comes in both Roll-Up or Roll-Away configurations to suit any window type.
Casement windows have always proven a challenge for the old-fashioned framed fitted screens – a retractable screen is the ideal solution to this situation and can be fitted as Up-Down or Left-Right as suits your window.
Got double-hung windows or awning windows and a gorgeous landscape? RetractAscreen provides unhindered views by rolling up into it’s cassette when not in use, and rolling down to the sill when you’re enjoying the cool evening breeze.
