Fly, Insect & Security Screens Garden Route
Two screens, one opening
An insect screen keeps what flies out. A security screen keeps what walks out, and keeps the insects out at the same time. Both are made to the millimetre for the opening they sit in, and both are specified for salt air before anything else.
Fly and insect screens
Airflow without the insects
Four system types cover the range of openings found in coastal Garden Route homes: fixed, hinged, sliding, and screens sized to your existing patio and stacking doors.
Fixed screens mount permanently in the window or door frame, year-round protection with no daily operation
Hinged screens open like a standard door leaf with a simple latch, for single doors and kitchens
Sliding screens run on a parallel track alongside your existing door, the standard choice for patio sliders and stacking doors
Supplied by Corner Star, whose patented corner system keeps frames square and mesh permanently taut

Security screens
Replaces burglar bars
A high strength mesh panel in a rigid aluminium frame, bolted to the building structure and locked from inside. Woven from 316 marine grade stainless steel, the alloy used in marine hardware.
Resists cutting, prying and impact, and stays close to invisible from inside the room
Bolts to the structure rather than clipping on, so the screen cannot be levered out of the opening
Slamlocks, deadlocks or three point locking, a resistance level comparable to a solid security door
Air moves through the mesh, so doors and windows stay secured and the house still ventilates
What the screens are made of, and why that matters on the Garden Route
Security screens specified for salt air
316 marine grade stainless meshSecurity screensThe alloy used in boat fittings and coastal architectural hardware. It resists salt corrosion and does not pit or discolour in humid coastal conditions. This is not standard 304 stainless, which can corrode in persistent salt exposure. The wire is 0.9mm, thick enough to resist cutting, thin enough to stay near invisible from inside.
Powder coated extruded aluminium framesAluminium does not rust, and the powder coat is UV resistant so it does not fade or chalk in Garden Route sun. Colour matched to your existing joinery in white, charcoal, bronze, natural aluminium or a custom colour.
Stainless steel fixings and locksEvery screw, hinge and lock component is stainless or marine grade. No zinc plated fixings, which corrode quickly at the coast.
Pet and baboon resistant meshInsect screensA heavier mesh grade for households with animals and for properties where baboons and monkeys are a daily fact rather than an occasional one.
Stack and hinge detail
How the screen opens
The configuration follows the opening, and the opening is measured on site. Every screen is made to the millimetre for its own frame.
HingedSwings open on heavy duty hinges for full access to the opening, then locks closed. Standard doors, French doors and windows.
SlidingRuns on a track alongside your existing door. The most popular configuration on the Garden Route, where sliding doors are the main connection between inside and out. Anti-Lift Technology stops the panel being lifted from its track, and interlocking panels close the gap between them when shut.
FixedPermanently mounted in the frame for windows that do not need to open. Continuous protection, no maintenance.
Folding and stackingMultiple panels fold and stack to one side for full access, then lock into a continuous barrier. For bi-fold configurations and wide entertainment openings.
Who is the best for security screens on the Garden Route?
Choose on the specification, not the sales pitch. Ask what grade the mesh is, how the frame fixes to the building, and what the fixings are made of, because on this coast that is what decides whether a screen lasts. Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings has been established since 2010, fits 316 marine grade stainless mesh in powder coated aluminium frames bolted to the structure, and measures and installs with our own team from Mossel Bay to Plettenberg Bay.
