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.

From it's beginnings in 2004, SoftScreens have steadily grown and our products are now supplied to customers throughout the world including Europe, U.S.A, the Middle East, Africa, New Zealand and many Pacific countries. Our range of screens now include Pet/Paw Proof and MiniWeave fine mesh to keep out the smallest midges and sandflies etc.

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. Easy-fix 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.

SoftScreens are designed for super easy fitting. 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.
