While most of us look forward to the warmth and sunshine of the summer months, this time of the year also marks the start of increasing numbers of pesky insects. Flies thrive in the hot weather, and often prove a real nuisance, invading your home through open windows and doors. There is, however, a solution – fly screens. We have partnered with the fantastic team at Phantom Screens to supply a range of these handy shades to customers who want a pest-free and peaceful household all-year round.
A saviour to your insect worries, fly screens are all the buzz right now, and can help you keep the bugs at bay. Here we explore the benefits of fly screens and why they are the must-have window shade for summer.
1. Keep bugs out and let air in
The mesh in a fly screen creates a barrier to keep pests out, whilst also allowing the air to flow into your home. This is particularly useful when cooking, to ensure strong odours are not trapped indoors. Additionally, if you have a fly screen installed in your bedroom, it will allow you to keep your room cool at night by allowing the fresh air in, without having to worry about flies disturbing your sleep.
2 Protect the health of your household
Not only are flies a nuisance, but they can also carry bacteria and spread it across surfaces in your home or contaminate food. Bites from insects, such as mosquitos, can make you unwell, or even trigger an allergic reaction like hives. Effective fly control can therefore help eliminate these risks to you and your family’s health.
3. Additional safety for children
Whilst they do not claim to childproof your home, fly screens do create an extra barrier, which can prevent children from leaning out of windows or running outdoors. This in itself can give you peace of mind that your little ones are safe when your fly screens are in use.
4. Save on energy
Fly screens not only act as a deterrent for insects, they also help reduce the amount of sunlight that filters in. This means you are less likely to need air conditioning, reducing the cost of your energy bills.
5. Cover any opening
Fly screens come in a wide range of options to suit sliding, bifold and standard doors, as well as many window styles and sizes. This means you can control those pesky flies in any room in your property.
6. Discreet and stylish
With a discreet mesh and finishes to match your interior décor, fly screens can be a stylish addition to your windows and doors. They come in a wide range of designs, sizes and colours to integrate seamlessly into your home.
