Introduction
Window screens (sometimes referred to as fly screens) are exterior window coverings that are removable. They are primarily made from metal or plastic wire.
Their purpose is to keep out insects when windows are open, but they also can help protect windows from small stones and objects that could break window glass.
Window screens were introduced in the United States in the 1800s. They gained popularity in North America and Australia in the 1950s.

Are you having problems with kids throwing stones and bricks at your window? Do you want to protect a valuable window? Window mesh guards could provide a solution.
Window mesh is made of wire and is generally fitted externally across windows to prevent potential damage from vandalism - stopping balls, bricks or stones from shattering the glass. The material used is weldmesh, which is constructed of steel. Window mesh is easy to install and maintain and is a popular choice for schools, garages, and offices.
We also provide High-Security Perforated Mesh , which has very small holes but still provides 60% vision. The mesh comes in an extruded aluminum frame and can be fitted direct to the windows or fitted to the brickwork. The perforated mesh gives the impression of tinted glass from the inside.
Call our sales team today, with your requirements and we can help specify a solution to meet your requirements and budget.
