Fly Screens & Mesh Re-Screen Services in Bathurst, NSW

Keeping insects out while keeping fresh air in is one of the simplest but most valuable things a good fly screen does. Whether your existing fly screens have torn, stretched, or worn mesh that is no longer doing their job or you need new fly screens fitted to windows that currently have none, Jackson Glass & Aluminium provides professional fly screen supply, installation, and re-meshing for residential and commercial customers throughout Bathurst and the surrounding region.

As a fully mobile, family-owned glazing business with over 15 years of experience in Bathurst, we make fly screen servicing straightforward and convenient. We come to you, assess your screens on-site, carry out the re-mesh or new installation, and leave your windows properly fitted and functioning. We offer free quotes and are fully licensed and insured.

New Fly Screen Installation

If your windows currently have no fly screens – whether because the original screens were never fitted, have been lost over the years, or are simply too far gone to re-mesh – we can supply and install new fly screen frames and mesh across all standard window types. New fly screens are made to measure for each individual window, ensuring a precise fit that provides effective insect exclusion without gaps or loose edges that insects can exploit.

We supply fly screen frames in aluminium, available in a range of standard colours to complement your window frames and home exterior. The mesh is available in standard aluminium mesh as well as speciality options, including fibreglass mesh and fine-weave mesh for properties where very small insects or a more refined appearance are considerations.

Re-Mesh Services — Breathing New Life into Old Frames

If your fly-screen frames are in good structural condition but the mesh has torn, stretched, sagged, or simply worn out, a re-mesh is the most cost-effective option for restoring their effectiveness. Re-meshing involves removing the old mesh and spline from the existing frame and fitting fresh mesh and spline — giving you a screen that works like new at a fraction of the cost of full replacement.

We re-mesh fly screens in all standard mesh types, and we carry out the work on-site wherever possible so that your screens are back in place and functioning before we leave. If frames are damaged or bent in ways that would compromise the new mesh, we will let you know during the assessment and discuss whether repair or replacement of those individual frames is the better option.

Fly Screen Mesh Options

  • Standard Aluminium Mesh — the most common and durable option for general insect exclusion
  • Fibreglass Mesh — softer and more flexible than aluminium, with good visibility and airflow
  • Fine-Weave Mesh — for properties where smaller insects such as midges or sandflies are a concern
  • Pet-Resistant Mesh — heavier gauge mesh designed to resist damage from cats and dogs

Fly Screen Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I know if my fly screens need to be re-meshed or replaced entirely?

    If the mesh in your fly screen is torn, has holes, has developed sagging or stretched sections that create gaps at the edges, or has accumulated corrosion and discolouration that cannot be cleaned off, re-meshing is the right solution — provided the frame itself is structurally sound. If the frame is bent, cracked, or corroded to the point where it no longer sits properly in the window opening or holds the mesh spline securely, replacement of the frame is the better option. Jackson Glass & Aluminium will assess your screens on-site and give you an honest recommendation during your free quote.

  • Can you re-mesh fly screens for all types of windows?

    Yes—we re-mesh fly screens for all standard residential and commercial window types, including sliding windows, awning windows, casement windows, and fixed windows. We also re-mesh door fly-screen frames. During your assessment, we will confirm whether your existing frames are suitable for re-meshing and provide a clear quote for the work.

  • How long does a remesh last?

    The lifespan of a fly screen mesh depends on the mesh type, the level of sun exposure, and how much wear the screen receives. Standard aluminium mesh in a sheltered position can last ten years or more. Mesh on screens that receive heavy direct sunlight or are regularly handled may need replacing sooner. Fibreglass mesh tends to be less prone to corrosion but can be more easily torn by pets or sharp objects. Regular inspection of your fly screens — particularly before and after summer — will help you catch any mesh deterioration before insects take advantage.
