These are made to fit over windows and doors principally to keep flies out. But it could also keep out any insect or spider, birds, leaves and animals. It caters for windows and doors to be open, to have a unpolluted air flow thru the building. Places such as Australia, Canada and the US use screens over openings of windows and doors. They are very helpful to keep out mosquitoes which can be very pesky in the hotter months in some climates.

In prior years fly screens were taken down in the winter months and replaced with hurricane windows to help insulate against the climate elements in less warm weather. But nowadays screens can simply fit with typhoon windows as well as on doors. In areas where mosquitoes aren't a controversy they have particular screens to keep out flies. In the same respect, there are categorical screens to keep out mosquitoes too. Some screens are as transportable as the window or door, called retractable flyscreens. These are nice for areas which require year round defense against bugs.

The history of fly screens goes back to 1823 in America. In 1836 there were adverts for wire screens for windows in Boyd's Blue Book. Manufactures started making them in 1839 in Boston, MA. It was in 1868 when a U.S. Patent was filed for screened roof-top rail-car windows. These were used to protect against dust, cinders, etc, but allowed for good air movement into the vehicles. Screens were sold in Detroit, MI in 1874 by the square foot. These weren't known for insect protection. It was not until the 1900's the "window screen" design made an appearance. In the 1950's in the States there had been a range of parasitic sicknesses that were exterminated by the use of such window screens. Screens are found on many windows and doors today in Australia, Canada and the States.

Fly screens are made out of either aluminum or fiberglass these days. When aluminium is employed it can be given a charcoal colour which aids in making it more invisible. The fiberglass comes in different colors from light grays to charcoal. Of the 2, fiberglass is the most cost effective option. And it stands up to better wear and tear. It will not dent or ding or tear as easily as aluminum will. The disadvantage of fiberglass is the opaqueness of it. It'll darken the room more because it allows in less light. UV rays are damaging to it also , making it grow worse quicker. In this case, aluminium will last for a few years longer than fiberglass.

A third type of material for fly screens is bronze. This is quite a bit more costly than aluminium and fiberglass nonetheless it will outlast both. Bronze is a bright golden color at the start, but the weathered look of it really is a dark charcoal, which can appear within the first year of installation. Other fabrics that screens are built from are brass, copper, rustproof steel and chrome steel.
