How Sliding screen doors complement your villa in Dubai


Sliding doors are one of the most common door types for the rear entry for villas in Dubai and across the UAE. Apartments also have sliding doors to access their balconies. To stop flies, mosquitoes and bugs from entering through this sliding door, home owners need to add a matching sliding flyscreen door to this opening. When selecting a screen door it is important to ensure it complements the design and looks of the structure.  Sliding screen doors come in different designs, sizes, colors and make.

The advantages of installing sliding screen doors in your villa or apartment
Installing sliding screen doors to your villa or apartment have a number of advantages including:
·         Allowing fresh air to flow through your home. Sliding screen doors allow air to flow as the fine mesh allows the breeze to pass through the mesh. However it still offers protection from those pesky bugs and keeps them on the outside (until someone leaves the door open!). It also protects the home from direct sun light and damaging UV light.
·         Keeps your DEWA bill low.  Since you can open your glass doors and windows, the fresh air will keep the temperature down along with your DEWA bill. We also recommend that you have two doors or windows open to allow for a cross breeze to flow through the room.
·         Protects the door. Sliding screen doors will protect your timber and metal doors from being hit by external objects, such as stones, particles or kids!
·         Provides safety and protection to the occupants.  If the screens are lockable security screens then they offer security rated protection from forceful entry.
·         It saves space. Sliding screen doors can easily be installed next to the existing glass door and only require about 4cm of space. It is easy to maintain with the security screen never requiring repair. Pleated screens are designed for easy and cost effective replacement of the mesh.



Factors to consider in choosing your sliding screen doors:
a.       Style. Style is one factor to be considered in choosing the best sliding screen doors. It should follow the characteristics of the premise and match the colour of the existing frame.
b.       The brand.  By selecting a quality and reputable brand, you know the screen is designed to last. A strong warranty is also a mark of a brand that stands behind its product.
c.       The design. The design must be match with the design of the existing door or window.
d.      The frame. There many types of frame material.  In Dubai and the UAE we find aluminium and uPVC are the most common. We recommend aluminium flyscreen frames in most circumstances.
e.       The price. Often one of the main factors when selecting a screen although one that often sends people looking for a cheap solution that may not last or meet their needs. 
f.       Warranty. The product must come with a complete warranty.

Pleated Retractable Mesh Insect Screen

A revolution is coming. Traditional fiberglass sliding and roll-up insect screens are dead. Now is the time for a new type of mesh screen. This screen is the pleated retractable screen. Pleated screens are popular in Europe and are making waves across the UAE. They are being installed in an increasing number of villas in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Al Ain. And for good reason. A pleated screen is a completely new and modern redesign of the old mesh panel fly and insect screen we see in many villas. We all know these old style screens simply do not last. Kids put their hands through them, people accidently walk through them and pets simply destroy them with their claws. Unfortunately when they are damaged, they are often difficult to repair to a like new condition. We also see the rubber spline of the screen simply wearing out in the heat or when exposed to direct sun and this causes the mesh to become separated from the edge of the frame. These are some of the reasons why the pl...

Flyscreen mesh Dubai

We get a number of enquiries from people asking about the various mesh screen options available for villas and apartments in Dubai and across the UAE. There are a range of options and it quickly gets confusing. Each option has strengths and limitations. Let’s have a look at some of the options available.  Fiberglass . This is the most common form of fly and insect screen mesh found in the UAE. It is cheap, flexible and when new looks good. The main weakness of fiberglass is its durability. In the hot Middle East environment fiberglass simply does not last. Under direct sunlight the mesh tends to fade. And for those of us with kids, fiberglass doesn’t survive their pushing and pulling. The other weakness of fiberglass is the way it is secured in the frame. To hold it in place, a rubber spline is used. Rubber however, breaks down in the heat and will eventually fall out of its retaining groove. Replacing the fiberglass and rubber is a relatively simple process and ...
