Fly Screens And Security Screens George

Quick Answer

What fly screens and security screens does Custom Blinds install in George, and how do I get a quote?

Beyond insects, George’s position as a growing residential hub means security is a genuine concern in many neighbourhoods. Traditional burglar bars remain common, but they block views, restrict natural light, and create a visual barrier that many homeowners particularly those in modern Kraaibosch and Fancourt-area homes are reluctant to install. Security screens offer a viable alternative: stainless steel mesh that resists forced entry while remaining visually unobtrusive and allowing full airflow.

Corner Star screens, which Custom Blinds supplies and installs in George, have been manufactured on the Garden Route for nearly 20 years. They are specified for the country’s specific conditions: UV-stabilised mesh that handles the George sun, frames colour-matched to existing window profiles, and fixings rated for the temperature cycling common in the Southern Cape.

George insect context: The Wilderness Lagoon and Swartvlei estuary, both within 20 km of central George, are significant mosquito breeding areas during the summer months. Homes in Wilderness and along the N2 corridor toward Sedgefield see notably higher insect pressure than inland George suburbs, and are among the most common enquiry areas for fly screen installation by Custom Blinds.

Screen options for George properties

Regular installation areas include: Central George (York Street corridor and surrounding residential areas), Kraaibosch (newer residential estate homes, often with aluminium sliding doors), Fancourt and Golf Park (higher-spec homes where unobtrusive screen profiles matter), Wilderness (high insect pressure from the lagoon, many older timber-frame homes requiring custom-fit profiles), Herold’s Bay (coastal holiday homes with a mix of window types), Victoria Bay, and the George industrial and commercial area for business and restaurant applications.

Step 1 Specialist review: Duncan or the installation team visits the property and measures every opening to be screened. Frame material, existing hardware, and opening direction are all recorded. The visit typically takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on the number of openings.

Step 2 Screen type selection: Based on your photos, Duncan recommends the appropriate screen type and mesh grade for each opening. Fly screen vs security screen is discussed at this stage, along with frame colour options.

Step 3 Manufacturing: Screens are custom-manufactured by Corner Star to the exact measurements taken on site. Lead time from order confirmation is typically 10 to 14 working days.

Step 4 Installation: The Custom Blinds team returns to fit every screen. Fixing method depends on window type fixed screens are fitted into rebated frames, sliding screens run on a track system, and hinged screens are hung on concealed pivot hinges.
