How much does it cost?
Our window screens start at just $75 each. Pricing can vary depending on the size of the window, the type of mesh selected, and any customisations.
For example, screens fitted to wind-out windows start at $80 due to the additional framing required.
More detailed pricing information can be found on the relevant Product pages, and we offer free measure and quote services across our service areas.
Do you work in my area?
Yes. Our installers work across Ballarat, the Mornington Peninsula, and the Yarra Valley. Contact us to find out which of our installers covers your specific area. Whether you’re in Ballarat, the Mornington Peninsula, the Yarra Valley, or surrounding areas, we can help.
What types of windows can you fit?
We can fit screens to virtually any window style, including:
- Sliding windows
- Awning (wind-out) windows
- Casement windows
- Double-hung windows
- Louvre windows
Awning and crank windows may require custom offset frames or special fittings, slightly increasing the starting cost.
What colours do you carry?
We offer a wide range of popular colours to match your home’s style, including Pearl White, Surfmist, Monument, Black, Paperbark, and many more.
Visit our Colours Range page to see the full chart. If you don’t see the exact colour you need, contact us — custom powder-coated colours are available (additional charges may apply).
What are the differences in the mesh types?
We offer a variety of mesh materials to suit different needs:
Fibreglass Mesh:
Standard for flyscreens; flexible, affordable, and allows good airflow and light.
Better Vue Mesh:
Similar to the standard but made from a finer thread that is designed to recede into the background even more.
Micro Mesh:
This is a smaller mesh designed to keep out the smallest bugs.
316 Marine Grade Stainless Steel Roll-in Mesh:
Stronger, corrosion-resistant, fire-resistant, and ideal for bushfire-prone areas.
316 Marine Grade Stainless Steel Security Mesh:
Impact resistant, Corrosion resistant and excellent for Bushfire and heavy-duty security applications.
DVA (One-Way) Mesh:
A privacy mesh that allows you to see out but prevents outsiders from seeing in. It can only be used with a Decorative Grille and can be powder-coated to match your door.
Perforated Mesh:
Solid steel sheet with punched holes for enhanced privacy and strength.
Vision Guard:
This is a heavier-duty version of the DVA that can be used alone.
Our team will recommend the best mesh based on your property’s needs and your lifestyle.
I live in a rural area — why do I need Stainless Steel mesh?
If you’re in a bushfire-prone zone, stainless steel mesh is crucial.
Unlike fibreglass, it is fire-resistant and significantly stronger, helping to prevent embers from entering your home during a fire event.
All our stainless steel products are manufactured in our factory and installed professionally for maximum protection.
Is privacy mesh a good option for entrance doors?
Yes. DVA privacy mesh, also known as a one-way mesh, is a popular choice for front entryways.
It provides daytime privacy without blocking natural light and airflow, making it both functional and discreet.
