What determines the price of a custom-made fly screen?
As a professional, you know that custom-made fly screens don’t all cost the same. The price of an aluminum fly screen depends on a combination of factors: the system, the dimensions, the finish, and the desired delivery time.
In this article, we’ll go over the key factors that determine the cost, so you can make the right choice for each project.
System Selection
The profile system sets the foundation.
Not all fly screens are technically the same. The choice of system has a direct impact on the cost:
Fly screens
Classic fly screens that are installed in front of the window frame. Available in various profile widths, ranging from a compact 20 mm profile to a robust 35 mm profile. A slimmer profile may require a support bar for larger sizes; a wider profile stands on its own. The choice of profile affects both material costs and installation time.
Clamp-on fly screens
Specially designed for windows with a glass parapet or limited installation depth. The clamping mechanism requires no screws but does require precise measurements. Available in XS, M, and L, depending on the available flange depth.
Sliding and hinged doors
Sliding or hinged systems require more components than a simple storm window: a custom rail system or door frame with hinges. This makes these systems more technically complex and more expensive. A popular option is an automatic closing mechanism: SelfClose for sliding systems or a closing pump for hinged doors. Both enhance ease of use but are optional and affect the price.
Cassette Systems
Roll-up systems with a cassette installed in the window opening. These are often the least visually intrusive option, but their mechanical complexity generally makes them a more expensive solution for insect screens.
Dimensions
Customization within set limits.
Every system has maximum dimensions. Within those limits, every fly screen is custom-made; there are no standard sizes. Larger dimensions require more material and, in some cases, additional reinforcements, which affects the price.
A small opening in a standard home requires a different calculation than a 2,800 mm tall window in a new construction project with steel profiles.
Type of guest: functional or specialized
The standard SuperView mesh is phthalate-free and exceptionally transparent. For specific applications, there are options that increase the cost:
- StrongView mesh — reinforced mesh for households with pets
- Pollen mesh — a fine-mesh screen that blocks pollen grains, ideal for allergy sufferers
- Sunguard — UV- and sun-blocking mesh for south-facing windows
- Fiberglass mesh — screen mesh as an alternative to traditional insect netting
Each type of mesh has a different material cost and affects the final price.
A perfect color match for your windows
One of the biggest advantages of Eosol is its perfect color matching.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Price of a Custom-Made Fly Screen
What factors determine the price of a custom-made fly screen?
The price is determined by a combination of factors, such as the chosen system, the dimensions, the type of mesh, the color finish, and the desired delivery time. The scope of the project and the product mix also play a role in a professional partnership.
Why does one fly screen cost more than another?
Not all fly screens are technically the same. A simple storm screen requires fewer components than a sliding door, hinged door, or cassette system. Larger sizes, additional reinforcements, or specialized mesh types can also increase the cost.
Does the delivery time affect the price?
Yes. Standard delivery times are based on the production schedule, whereas expedited or express production requires higher priority in the schedule. As a result, faster delivery directly affects the project cost.
