Why FlyScreens Are a Growing Opportunity for Your Business
Insects are a universal problem. Mosquitoes, flies, wasps, and other pests turn outdoor living spaces into no-go zones during warm months. Traditional solutions — fixed mesh screens, chemical sprays, or simply closing doors — all have significant drawbacks.
Flyscreens solve this problem by providing a retractable, bug-proof barrier that disappears when not needed. Unlike fixed screens, modern flyscreen systems roll or slide away, preserving the view and maintaining unobstructed access.
Talius has completed over 20,000 installations across North America through more than 100 authorized dealers. This guide covers the technical specifications, product comparisons, and installation considerations you need to specify these systems with confidence.
Fixed screens block the view and create a permanent barrier that interferes with passage. Sprays are temporary and chemical-heavy. Closing doors defeats the purpose of having open, ventilated spaces.
For B2B partners — dealers, specifiers, and general contractors — offering FlyScreens is a strategic addition to any exterior solutions portfolio. The product complements security shutter systems (hard barriers for after-hours protection) by addressing daily comfort and insect control.
Defining the Technology
Frame / Track System
Mesh Fabric
Sliding Mechanism
Patented Edge Retention
How it works: The screen mounts horizontally or vertically depending on the model. When closed, the mesh blocks insects while maintaining airflow and outward visibility. When open, the screen stacks or retracts, clearing the opening completely.
This design makes Talius FlyScreens ideal for locations where traditional fixed screens would obstruct passage, block views, or interfere with building operations.
B2B Applications
Matching the right screen to the project.
Residential
Residential FlyScreens (Homes & Multi-Family)
Homeowners want fresh air without the bugs. A patio door left open for ventilation becomes an invitation for mosquitoes and flies.
Residential FlyScreens provide:
• Bug-proof protection: Patented edge retention seals all gaps.
• Unobstructed passage: No bottom rail on the FlyScreen+ means no tripping hazard for children, elderly residents, or pets.
• Preserved views: When open, the screen disappears completely.
• Wind resistance: Class 6 rating ensures stability even in exposed locations.
For dealers offering residential security shutters, adding FlyScreens creates a complete exterior solutions portfolio. Security shutters protect against storms and intruders. FlyScreens provide daily comfort and insect control.
Commercial
Commercial FlyScreens (Restaurants & Storefronts)
Restaurants with outdoor patios or large folding glass walls face unique insect pressure. Open doors invite flies. Customers hate it.
FlyScreens provide ventilation without inviting pests. The barrier-free design on the FlyScreens+ system (no bottom rail) means staff with carts, wheelchairs, and foot traffic pass freely.
For storefront security shutters, the after-hours barrier is solved. FlyScreens solve the daytime insect problem. Together, they provide 24-hour protection and comfort.
Industrial
Institutional Applications (Schools & Healthcare)
Schools with open-air corridors, cafeterias with exterior access, and healthcare facilities with outdoor patient areas all benefit from insect control.
In these applications, durability and hygiene are priorities. The seamless design of the FlyScreen+ (no bottom rail) eliminates dirt traps and simplifies cleaning. The bug-proof seal prevents insects from entering sterile or food-service areas.
Barrier-Free Design: No Bottom Rail for FlyScreen+
A common frustration with traditional sliding screens is the bottom track or rail. It collects dirt. It creates a tripping hazard. It prevents wheelchairs, carts, and foot traffic from passing freely.
Talius FlyScreen+ eliminate the bottom rail entirely.
For commercial applications — restaurants, retail stores, healthcare facilities — this is a critical differentiator from lower-cost competitors.
- No tripping hazard: Safe for children, elderly residents, and all mobility levels.
- Wheelchair accessible: Carts, strollers, and wheelchairs roll through without obstruction.
- Less cleaning: No track to collect dirt, dust, or debris.
- Seamless appearance: Clean, modern look that disappears when open.
Patented Bug-Proof Technology
Standard flyscreens have gaps. At the edges, where the screen meets the frame. At the bottom, where the rail collects debris. Between panels, where alignment drifts.
Insects find these gaps. One mosquito is enough to ruin a night’s sleep or a restaurant meal.
Talius solves this with a patented edge retention system (referenced in FlyScreen materials as “anti-bug technology”). The screen fabric is captured continuously along the full height of the side guides, creating a sealed perimeter.
For dealers, this is a tangible differentiator. Ask any homeowner who has battled patio mosquitoes: a screen that leaves gaps is nearly useless.
- No gaps: Insects cannot enter around the edges.
- Wind class 6 resistance: The screen remains stable and sealed even in windy conditions.
- Durable seal: The edge retention system maintains its integrity over thousands of cycles.
Custom Sizes and Finishes
Every opening is different. Talius FlyScreens are made-to-order based on exact field measurements.
Colour Options
The standard colour is black, white, and brown. Other RAL colours available upon request.
- Dimensions: Any width and height within maximum limits.
- Colours: RAL colour matching available for frames and components.
- Orientation: Horizontal (FlyScreen+) or horizontal/vertical (FlyScreen 2D).
- Installation type: Recessed or surface mounting.
Installation Requirements for B2B Partners
As a dealer or contractor, proper specification prevents callbacks. Here are critical points for Talius FlyScreen installation:
Verify max width is fabric-dependent
For FlyScreen+ 2-panel configurations, the maximum width of 5 m (16.4 ft) depends on the specific mesh fabric selected. Always confirm with the Talius Channel Sales team before finalizing dimensions.
Recessed vs. surface mounting
Recessed mounting requires a clean opening with consistent depth. Surface mounting mounts directly to the wall face. Each has different frame requirements. Specify correctly at the quoting stage.
No bottom rail = no bottom track to install
Installation is simpler than traditional sliding screens. No floor track to level. No threshold to seal. The screen slides on top and bottom guides only.
Wind sensor not required
Unlike motorized retractable awnings or screens, manual flyscreens do not require wind sensors. The patented system handles class 6 wind resistance passively.
