Smooth, Modern Screens That Disappear When You Don’t Need Them
Wide Opening Fly Screens
Retractable fly screens are the ideal solution for wide openings, bi fold doors, servery windows and modern homes where traditional flyscreen doors are not suitable.
They glide away neatly when not in use, giving you uninterrupted views and an open, seamless feel. Whether you need a retractable screen for large alfresco doorways or a space saving vertical system for your windows, UniBlinds offers Australian made, custom fitted solutions designed for long term performance.
Available in fiberglass fly wire mesh, our retractable doors will keep out flies, mosquitos and all types of creepy crawlies.
If you only need a simple hinged or sliding insect screen, see our Fly Screen Doors.
What Is a Retractable Flyscreen?
A retractable flyscreen extends only when needed and retracts back into a slim cassette when not in use, making it ideal for stylish homes where airflow and unobstructed views matter.
Retractable screens are perfect for:
- Bi fold doors
- French doors
- Stackers and sliding doors
- Awkward openings where fixed screens can’t be used
- Patio access
- Alfresco spaces
- Feature windows
- Servery windows

FAQ's
Frequently Asked Questions About Retractable Fly Screens
Are retractable flyscreens durable
Yes. High-quality retractable flyscreens are designed for regular, long-term use. UniBlinds systems use robust frames, tensioned mesh and smooth operating mechanisms to ensure reliable performance across daily opening and closing.
Can retractable screens cover wide openings
Yes. Retractable flyscreens are ideal for wide openings such as bi fold doors, stacker doors and large sliding door systems. Pleated retractable screens are particularly well suited to spanning large openings while remaining stable and easy to operate.
Do retractable screens suit windows
They do. Vertical retractable flyscreens are commonly used on windows, servery openings and pass-throughs. These systems roll neatly into a slim cassette when not in use, making them a discreet option for both residential and light commercial applications.
