Which fly screens should you choose for each type of window?
Not every window requires the same insect screen solution. The right choice depends on the type of window, the available space, and how the window is used.
In this guide, we provide an overview of the most suitable insect screens for each situation, so that you, as a professional or construction partner, can implement the right solution.
Tilt-and-turn windows
For tilt-and-turn windows, people usually opt for a fixed storm window that is installed on the outside or inside.
This solution:
fits snugly against the window frame
stays in place permanently
is easy to maintain
👉 Perfect for bedrooms and living spaces where ventilation is important.
Windows with limited installation depth
Windows with limited space require a compact system.
Slim solutions such as clip-on screens or thin add-on screens provide the answer:
minimum tread depth
Easy installation without major modifications
suitable for renovation
Sliding windows
For large sliding windows, a sliding screen door is the most suitable solution.
Advantages:
suitable for large openings
easy to use
designed to match the window profile

Doors
For swing doors, a swing door with hinges.
These systems:

👉 Ideal for patios and high-traffic areas.
Roll-up screens
Roll-up insect screens (cassette systems) are a flexible solution for windows where you don’t want the screen to be permanently visible.
These systems:
slide into a compact cassette
are easy to use
perfect for everyday use
👉 Suitable for both renovation and new construction, and compatible with a wide variety of window types.
