Damac Hills is built around the fairways of the Trump International Golf Club Dubai, with villa clusters like The Field, Victoria and Park Ridge set along tree-lined streets, and apartment towers serving families and golfers. Most homes here were built in the 2010s, so the window and door systems are modern: wide sliding patio doors, tall casement windows and balcony sliders. What they usually do not include is any form of insect screen. If you want to leave doors open in the evening without inviting insects in, a custom fly screen is the missing piece.
This guide covers which screen types suit Damac Hills villas and apartments, how measurement and fitting works, and how to keep screens working well. Our workshop makes every screen to the exact size of your opening, starting with a free measurement and quote.
Why fly screens make sense in a golf-course community
Living beside a golf course means open sky, landscaped greenery, lakes and a steady breeze across the fairways. That greenery is also why insects are part of life here, especially in the cooler months when everyone wants the patio doors open. Mosquitoes and midges gather near water features and planting after sunset, and they slip indoors fast when the living room opens straight onto the garden.
Fly screens solve this without changing how the home feels. A fine fibreglass mesh stretched in a slim aluminium frame lets air move through freely while keeping insects out. Your view across the fairway stays clear, the breeze still reaches the living room, and you can leave the sliding doors open through the evening instead of sealing the house with air conditioning. For apartments, the same logic applies to balcony sliders and bedroom windows.
Screen types for Damac Hills villas
Damac Hills villas tend to have large openings: one or two wide sliding patio doors on the ground floor, tall bedroom windows, sometimes a service door off the kitchen. The practical setup is a mix of screen types matched to each opening.
Sliding door fly screens are the natural fit for patio sliders. They run in their own track beside the glass panel, glide open and closed, and can be made in two, three or four panels to match the width of the door. For very wide openings, such as a full living-room wall of glass, pleated fly screens work well: the mesh folds back into a narrow stack, so almost the whole opening stays clear when the screen is not in use. Standard windows take fixed fly screens, simple frames that sit in the window reveal and keep out insects year round.
Options for Damac Hills apartments
Apartment life in Damac Hills is different. The openings are smaller, usually a balcony slider in the living area and standard windows in the bedrooms. Fixed screens handle the windows, and a single sliding screen panel or a retractable screen covers the balcony door. Retractable screens are worth considering where the view matters most: the mesh rolls up into a slim cassette when not needed, leaving nothing visible against the frame.
One point apartment owners sometimes miss is the service balcony or utility window. These small openings are often left unscreened, yet they are exactly where insects slip in at night. Including them in the measurement visit closes the gaps properly.
How measurement and fitting works
Every opening in a home is slightly different, even in a new-build community. Settle and small variations in the frame mean a standard-size screen rarely fits cleanly, and a screen that does not fit cleanly leaves gaps. That is why we measure every opening on site and build each screen in our workshop to those measurements.
You book a free measurement visit, we record every window and door you want screened, and you get a quote based on the actual openings, the screen types chosen and the mesh and frame options. Once approved, the screens are made to order and fitted in place. Most homes are measured in a single visit.
Keeping your screens in good shape
Damac Hills sits in an area with ongoing development nearby, and fine dust is part of life in Dubai. Dust settles on mesh over time and slowly reduces airflow, so a quick rinse or soft brush every few months keeps screens breathing freely. Check the mesh once a year for small tears, especially on doors that pets use. If a screen is ever damaged, our fly screen repair service can re-mesh the existing frame instead of replacing the whole unit.

Do new-build villas in Damac Hills come with fly screens?
Generally no. Developers in the community install the window and door systems but leave insect screening to the homeowner. Aftermarket screens made to your exact openings are the standard solution.
Will fly screens block my golf-course view?
No. The fibreglass mesh used in quality screens is designed to be see-through. From a few steps back it is barely visible, so the fairway view stays clear while insects stay out.
Can screens be fitted on modern aluminium window systems?
Yes. The aluminium and uPVC systems used in Damac Hills homes accept custom screen frames, either fixed in the reveal or running in a track beside the glass. The frame colour can be matched to your existing joinery.
Should I screen every window or only some?
Screen the openings you actually open. Bedrooms, living-room sliders and kitchen windows are the priorities. Windows that stay shut all year do not need screens, and leaving them out keeps the project sensible.
Can one screen type cover a very wide patio opening?
Pleated screens handle extra-wide openings where a sliding panel would be too heavy to glide well. The mesh folds into a slim stack at the side when you want the opening fully clear.
