Taylor & Stirling has been installing custom flyscreens across Ballarat, Hobart, and surrounding regions for decades.
We understand the unique insect pressures, bushfire considerations, and architectural styles of both regions — from heritage homes to modern builds.
❓ Local FAQs (Ballarat & Hobart)
🐜 Do retractable flyscreens work in windy areas like Ballarat?
Yes. Our retractable and pleated systems use tensioned mesh and guided tracks designed to handle Ballarat’s gusty conditions. Pleated screens are especially stable on wide openings.
🌊 Are these flyscreens suitable for coastal homes in Hobart?
Absolutely. The aluminium frames and high‑quality mesh resist corrosion, ideal for Kingston, Blackmans Bay, Lauderdale and other coastal suburbs.
🏡 Can you install flyscreens on heritage homes?
Yes. Slimline headboxes and colour‑matched frames make them suitable for Victorian, Federation, and weatherboard homes.
🦟 Do pleated flyscreens keep out small insects like midges?
Yes. Fine‑weave mesh options are available for Tasmanian midges and Ballarat’s seasonal mosquito spikes.
🔧 Can these screens be retrofitted to existing doors?
Most of the time, yes. Pleated screens only require a 30mm reveal, making them ideal for retrofits.
🎨 What colours are available?
We powder‑coat to match your existing frames — including Colorbond and Dulux ranges.
