SPECIFYING THE MOST IMPORTANT DESIGN ELEMENT
FOR KEEPING INSECTS OUT
Barbeques , buzzing flies and mozzies are intrinsic to Australian living . All three are also best kept outside .
The desire to keep insects out has made the use of flyscreens a requisite of residential design in Australia . Retractable flyscreens fitted to bi-fold , sliding and French doors have been the go-to product to protect against mosquito bites and flies spreading germs - while still allowing fresh air in , without losing the view .
With the trend towards larger openings for window and door spaces , coupled with Australia ’ s harsh and unpredictable climactic conditions , the instance of sagging and blowouts in flyscreens is a common issue faced by homeowners .
That is why Australian company , Freedom Retractable Screens , has invested so much into the research , design and development of a retractable flyscreen that provides superior resistance against sagging and blowouts , even in the harshest conditions .
Also on the drawing board and available soon , is a retractable insect screen that can be built higher and wider than ever before . This screen features a tiny 12mm bottom track , which can , in many cases , negate the use of a recessed track .
The Infinity Zipline Series of retractable screens from Freedom Retractable Screens offers the perfect fusion of discreet style and cutting-edge technology . Central to the screen ’ s high wind resistance is its patented mesh-to-track retention system . This screen features stronger mesh that is ‘ locked in ’ to guarantee that screens protect against insects getting in – giving peace of mind to the occupants and confidence to the designer or builder that they have specified the highest quality product .
Also unique to the Infinity Zipline Series is its patented brake system . This enables the screen to stop safely in any position along the track and eliminates unsafe springbacks .
Freedom Retractable Screens also offer the new 80mm and 120mm Smartscreen - which can be fully motorised for ease of use . The Smartscreen is a great choice for outdoor enclosures or balconies . The housing fits at the top in a neat and discreet design and can be fitted with insect mesh or a choice of translucent or block-out fabric .
Available in a wide range of finishes and custom colours and in a large variety of UV resistant fibreglass mesh options , any design requirements can be catered for . With the ability to screen extra-large openings of up to 9 metres , the Infinity Zipline Series is the ideal solution for just about any screening requirement .
