02 What are the Benefits?

In the UAE, flyscreens offer numerous benefits, especially given the warm climate and prevalence of insects throughout the year. Some of the key benefits include:

  1. Insect Protection: Flyscreens act as a barrier against common pests such as mosquitoes, flies, and other insects, which are abundant in the region. This helps to maintain a more hygienic and comfortable living environment without the need for chemical repellents.
  2. Improved Ventilation: Flyscreens allow you to keep windows and doors open for natural ventilation, letting fresh air circulate through your home while keeping insects out. This is particularly important in the UAE, where air conditioning is heavily relied upon, but natural airflow can help reduce energy costs.
  3. Health Benefits: By keeping harmful insects like mosquitoes out, flyscreens can help prevent diseases such as dengue fever and malaria, which can be a concern in warmer climates.
  4. Enhanced Comfort: Flyscreens improve indoor comfort by reducing the annoyance and discomfort caused by flying insects, especially during the evening when lights attract bugs.
  5. Energy Efficiency: Flyscreens enable better air circulation, reducing the need for continuous air conditioning, thereby promoting energy efficiency and lowering utility bills.
  6. Privacy and Security: Modern flyscreens also provide an additional layer of security and privacy, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor views without being exposed to outside disturbances.

Overall, flyscreens are a practical and beneficial addition to any home in the UAE, enhancing both comfort and health by providing protection against insects while allowing fresh air to flow through the space.

03 A Technical Overview

Material:

  • Mesh Composition: Typically made from high-quality materials such as fiberglass, polyester, or aluminum. Fiberglass mesh is most common due to its durability, flexibility, and resistance to corrosion.
  • Coating: The mesh is often coated with PVC to enhance its weather resistance, UV protection, and ease of cleaning.

Mesh Specifications:

  • Mesh Size: Standard mesh size is usually around 18x16 or 20x20 threads per inch, which effectively keeps out insects while allowing airflow and visibility.
  • Thread Diameter: The thread diameter generally ranges from 0.25 mm to 0.33 mm, ensuring strength while maintaining transparency.

Frame and Fittings:

  • Frame Material: Frames are typically made of extruded aluminum, powder-coated to resist corrosion and match the color scheme of windows and doors.
  • Frame Thickness: Standard frame thickness is around 1.0 mm to 1.5 mm, providing a robust and durable structure.
  • Fitting Types: Available in fixed, retractable, or sliding configurations, with options for magnetic or brush seals to ensure a tight fit.

Performance:

  • Air Permeability: Mesh screens are designed to allow optimal air circulation while blocking insects, making them ideal for enhancing ventilation without compromising comfort.
  • Visibility: The fine mesh construction ensures high visibility from inside, with minimal obstruction to outdoor views.
  • UV Protection: Mesh flyscreens often provide up to 50% UV protection, reducing the glare and heat inside while still letting natural light in.
