Retractable Pleated Fly Screens Melbourne & French Door Security Screens
These superior retractable pleated fly screens add an extra level of versatility to your property as they can be deployed when necessary to keep out pesky flies and insects without detracting from the aesthetics of your door or windows.

Have you Considered Pleated Retractable Fly Screens for Your Home?
At Bulleen Screens, we are the specialists in security windows, safety doors, door screens and security solutions that ensure only those you invite into your home can do so. With over forty years in the business serving the Melbourne Metropolitan area, we have become known as the place to go for premium quality screens.
The Advantage of Retractable Screens from Bulleen Screens
We stock a wide variety of retractables fly screens in Melbourne that span all price ranges and cater to any home environment. Many of our products are designed to withstand the extremes of Australian weather and some can even endure typhoon wind conditions. Our screens give you the option to choose between keeping your door fully open when entertaining guests or having a barbeque or sealing your house off from insects by drawing the pleated screen over easily. When not in use, the pleated retractable screen is completely hidden from view, tucked away into the door frame. This is perfect for outdoor social events that carry on late into the evening when insects such as moths seek internal light sources coming from inside your house.
Visible Pleated Retractable Fly Screens Help Prevent Accidental Damage
Depending on the type of mesh grade you are interested in you can choose a screen that is easily visible to the naked eye. Although this might detract slightly from the look of your doorway or window, it helps prevent damage to the screen from pets or small children who accidentally try to access in or outdoors while the screen is blocking their path. In such cases of accidental damage, we can, of course, organise a technician to repair the retractable fly screen doors, however our high visibility mesh, while more expensive, can alleviate the need for such repair costs. In general, retractable screens in Melbourne tend to be more costly than their static counterparts, but this reflects their versatility and compatibility with more upscale properties.

Buy Your French Door Security Screens Here!
Homeowners, hoteliers and even some offices can be greatly enhanced by a beautiful set of doors. Whether you are looking for scenic access to an alfresco dining area, an easy way of getting a little extra airflow into a stuffy bedroom, or a space to catch a breather from a busy office environment, hinged doors can certainly be a useful feature. Unfortunately, such a feature often comes with a downside, not least their inability to appropriately keep out bugs, critters and other potential intruders.
It’s for this reason that many builders and developers are on the lookout for French door security screens. With some innovative thinking and careful design, the right manufacturer can ensure your space retains the little extra style that a set of French doors can bring without the detriment of poor security or substandard pest control.
Quality Design Guaranteed
As the premier supplier of security windows and doors in the area, we are pleased to offer you our exciting range of security screens for French doors. We started out over twenty years ago as a small independent manufacturer working out of a garage in Bulleen. Very soon, however, we began to build a reputation for brilliant workmanship, excellent trade knowledge and a team of professional tradesmen, all of whom have drawn from many years of experience in security manufacturing.
With such extensive knowledge, we’ve built a range of high-quality French door security screens for Melbourne and retractable doors. Benefits of these include:
- Compact design features
- Some of our materials benefit from an extended warranty in addition to our own guarantee.
Our mission is to create security solutions that are robust and built to last for many more years. It is with this in mind that we offer a 12-month guarantee with all our products that ensures your security screens will remain fault-free as long as they are used and maintained appropriately within that period.
But it’s not just functionality that we offer when you order security screens for French doors. We’ve also put together a wide range of colours for all our items. Functionality should not come at the cost of aesthetic, and with our diverse set of tones and shades, the ambience of the room needn’t be undermined by the security features.
Retractable Fly Screens for a Fresher Home
When the weather heats up, it is ideal to sit with your windows and doors open and enjoy a gentle fresh breeze. However, all too often, this also means that you will get some unwelcome visitors in the form of bothersome insects.
If you have ever sat and tried to enjoy a meal with flies buzzing around, or you are watching television, and a fly keeps going in front of the screen, you will know how irritating it can be.
A flywire door offers you a solution to the problem, and your home will look as good as ever. Here at Bulleen Screens, we can provide you with fly screen doors and windows so you can get the fresh air you want without the negative consequences.
Retractable Screens
With retractable screens, you can have the best of both worlds. They can be moved into place when you need them and then retracted back when you do not. When they are not being used, you do not even have to see them!
As we custom-make our products, you can be sure that they are suited to your requirements. It is one of the reasons why we like to see your windows and doors before providing you with a quote.

To cater for this we have several types of retractable flyscreens for you to choose from to suit your particular requirements.
Benefits of Retractable Screens:
- Protect from insects and airborne debris coming inside
- Are hidden from view when not in use
- Virtually the only alternative to screen Bi-Fold doors. Often good for French Doors where space is tight (preventing a pair of traditional hinged flydoors being installed opening the opposite way to your entry doors).
- Can be retracted both horizontally (most common) or vertically depending on the style of window or door.
Drawbacks of Retractable Screens:
- Due to the size of the tracks and retracting mechanism, installations work best when they are planned for during the building process. However we can usually retro-fit to existing openings and always aim to ensure visible parts ‘blend in’ with the door surrounds.
- Compared with traditional ‘framed’ screens, they have more moving parts which can increase the risk of inconvenient faults in future.
- Some screens can be difficult to see and this needs to be considered in homes with kids and pets when selecting the right screen for you.
- Cost.
