Patio Doors & Sliding Screens: The Perfect Pair
Where do you install a sliding screen?
The most obvious place is in front of your sliding or stacking patio door. You can open your patio door on hot summer evenings for cool air while the screen keeps creepy crawlies out.
How does it slide?
It’s simple. The screen consists of PVC-coated fibreglass mesh inside an aluminium frame. It comes with headrails and a bottom track. The frame runs on patio door rollers (wheels) in a bottom track.
If necessary, we’ll add a mid-rail to the design to make the screen more stable.
Can you install a sliding screen on the outside of your door?
Yes, you can install the screen on the inside or the outside. And you needn’t worry if the elements will damage it.
And a powder coating protects the mesh from the hot sun.
What about double-sliding patio doors?
If you have a patio door with two sliding panels, you’ll need two sliding screens to cover the opening. These might have to meet in the middle or stack to the side.
No matter how many sliding panels your patio door has, we’ll design a configuration that works for you.
Does the screen door lock?
No, but we can offer a locking system. But we can add a male/female interlock on a double-panelled screen for you.
Remember, our insect screens are not designed for security. It’s quite easy to cut through the soft, fibreglass mesh, so adding a lock provides no protection at all.
If you’re looking for a screen that keeps large and small pests out, we do have a security mesh screen. It uses a 0.9 mm thick black powder-coated stainless-steel mesh. Mesh is fine enough to keep stop insects and tough enough to resist break-in attempts.
Will a sliding insect screen prevent pets from getting out?
It can, but we’d recommend a Pet Screen Sliding Door. The only difference between the two is the type of mesh used.
Pet Mesh is made from powder coated 304 stainless steel mesh. It’s claw and scratch-resistant so your pets won’t be able to make an escape hole in the mesh. If you’re looking to pet-proof your home, look at our pet screens for windows and doors.
Can I install the screen myself?
Yes, you can install your own sliding insect screen if you have some basic tools and a little DIY experience. But it is vital that you give us the correct measurements for manufacturing.
And that’s why we recommend that you let our trained team of installers carry out the installation. You’ll save time and hassle and our installers can sort out any hiccups on-site if necessary.
Can your repair or service a sliding screen?
You should have your screens serviced every year to avoid invalidating your warranty. But it’s also the best way to ensure your screen doors provide you with years of perfect service.
And should the mesh tear, the screens can be re-meshed on-site or brought to your nearest branch.
What is the warranty on a sliding screen door?
Our insect screens carry a 5-year warranty for workmanship and material defects. This includes assembly, manufacturing and installation faults, but not fair wear and tear. And we don’t offer a warranty on the mesh.
How do I measure my patio door for a quote?
If you’re looking for a screen door quote, send us these measurements, width x height in mm. If you place an order, one of our sales reps will come out to take final measurements before it’s put into production.
Here are the measurements you need to take:
- Measure the height of the opening from the floor to the top of the reveal
- Next, measure the width of the opening from the reveal to the frame of the sliding panel
- Measure the depth of the reveal

Bedroom Shutters: A Dream Come True
Dreaming of bedroom shutters? That’s not uncommon. After all, white shutters elevate any room – especially bedrooms.
They are an investment window treatment. So if you need some concrete evidence to persuade your significant other, we’re here to help.
Shutters make an ordinary bedroom feel like the grandest suite in an expensive hotel. And they’re practical. Here’s why shutters make sense in your main bedroom, guest bedroom and even your kid’s bedroom.
It’s easy to forget that shutters are a window treatment. Like curtains and blinds, they allow you to control the amount of light entering a room. In fact, shutters can block out a significant amount of light. This could appeal to you if you’re one of many people who sleep better in a dark room.
The louvres allow you to take control of the airflow in a room when the windows are open. And you can adjust them for more or less privacy by tilting them with your hand.
Comfort & Quiet
Did you know that around 18% – 30% of heat escapes through the windows of your home? Installing shutters creates a barrier and insulates your home. With shutters, you won’t have to rely on power-hungry appliances to heat or cool your home. It’s also easier to fall asleep if your bedroom is at an even temperature.
The same is true for noise pollution. Shutters dampen outside noises that might bother you and disturb your sleep. Heavy curtains and blinds have the same effect. But shutters add extra style and luxury, especially in a bedroom.
Ease Allergies & Cut Down on Housework
Shutters are easy to clean. Wipe them down with a damp or dry cloth or run the brush attachment of your vacuum cleaner over them.
And that’s great news for those who suffer from allergies. Unlike fabric window treatments, shutters don’t trap dust and pollen. For this reason alone, you might want to install shutters in every room in your home, not only your bedroom.
Sound Asleep
Security shutters go one step further than decorative aluminium shutters. Extra security features make them a stylish alternative to traditional burglar bars.
Securing your property at night when you’re most vulnerable, is especially important. Particularly if you own a free-standing home. But you’ll sleep soundly if you invest in security shutters for your bedroom.
Security shutters protect your family and your possessions. And they add value to your property. Should you want to sell, they make your home more appealing to prospective buyers.
Our security shutters are as elegant and attractive as our decorative aluminium shutters. So you needn’t worry that bulky shutters will clash with the delicate style of your bedroom.
Add Extra Flair
Add an extra layer of elegance to your bedroom shutters and pair them with a set of breezy voile or net curtains. This creates a romantic effect and draws attention to your shutters.
Have we convinced you to invest in bedroom shutters? They provide the same benefits as blinds and curtains but have other advantages. And it’s clear that they score top marks for aesthetic appeal.
