Us & Our Flyscreens
Odd-sized windows and unusual window surrounds in old houses led Joe Crossin and Bev Arnold to change their way of thinking about flyscreens.
Unable to fit rigid flyscreens to the windows in their older house, Joe and Bev decided to try using hook and loop tape to attach their flyscreens. Bev wanted something that could be fitted by anyone without the need for power tools. She also wanted a screen that could easily be removed for cleaning and stored away in winter.
Because of time restrictions due to work, neither of them wished to wait in for tradesmen to measure and fit the screens.
With Joe’s background in carpentry and building, and Bev’s business management skills, they developed their SoftScreens business to make their screens available to everyone.
And so the SoftScreens company was created!
Measuring is simple, just put a measuring tape across the window opening and read off the measurement. The screens are sent by mail so there is no time loss. Even those in the remotest locations can screen their windows themselves. Fixing instructions come with your screens. We have tested the screens using more than 6000 pull-aparts with no sign of breakdown. The operating temperature range of the adhesive is -28deg C to +110deg C.
Once we have your measurements, we add on 12mm all around for the sew-on tape, the screens are then cut to size and finished with a trimming tape. Another 'press and fix' tape is applied to the window surround and the flyscreen is attached to it. The screens are double stitched to increase durability and strength.
The flyscreen can be made to fit most window styles, sizes and shapes. Because the screen is “soft” it can be made to fit almost anywhere taking care of irregularities in window sizes and shapes.
Without the need for expensive tradesmen, the product is much cheaper than conventional rigid flyscreens. It also has the advantage of completely sealing the window against crawling insects. Bev and Joe say that its uses are as creative as its user because of the flexibility of the SoftScreen. From order to delivery takes approximately 1 working week.
