Fly Screens in Jumeirah

A beachfront villa and an inland villa a few streets back live differently, and the screening should reflect that. Sea-facing homes tend to open their wide doors for long stretches, so pleated fly screens suit those broad sea-facing openings, covering the full width and folding away when the garden and terrace become one space. Inland, sliding screens for patio and garden doors handle the everyday in-and-out of family life, while fixed window screens let bedrooms take the night breeze without the mosquitoes it brings.

Rollup screens work well for windows used only in the cooler months, retracting out of sight for the rest of the year. Frame colour matters more in Jumeirah than in a new tower: with old and new joinery side by side, we powder-coat to suit the individual house rather than working to a standard chart, so a screen on a traditional villa does not look like an afterthought next to a screen on a modern rebuild.

Many Jumeirah villas already have screens — they have simply outlived their mesh. Decades of sea air, sun and daily use leave panels torn, sagging or brittle, even where the original frames are still serviceable. For those homes, repair and re-meshing is often the right job rather than full replacement: we keep a sound frame, fit new mesh made to measure in our workshop, and service the tracks or hinges the screen depends on.

It is also the tidier option in established homes, where we work carefully and protect existing finishes rather than disturbing joinery that has been in place for years. Where a frame has corroded beyond sensible repair, or the original screen was never a proper fit for an unusual opening, we will measure and build a replacement and explain the difference honestly. Either way, the starting point is the same free measurement, with our own team advising on what the house actually needs.
