Where the money goes
Estimated breakdown for your configuration

Ways to save
- Re-mesh existing frames rather than replacing whole screens where the frames are good.
- Standard mesh is fine for most windows, save pet-resistant and retractable for doors.

What a fly screen costs in Perth
A Perth fly-screen quote comes down to how many openings get a screen and the frame on each, because the product is a thin aluminium surround holding insect mesh, so the count of windows and doors and the frame style carry the figure. A fixed window panel is cheapest and a sliding, hinged or retractable door unit dearer. It is insect-only, not a security screen, so the job sits far below a certified security product behind a Perth double-brick home.
Perth's hot, dry Mediterranean summers make fly screens worthwhile for opening a home to the cool evening breeze without insects, and a double-brick home's windows take a standard made-to-measure screen. The dry heat is easy on an aluminium frame, and the dusty summer winds mean a screen also keeps some dust out. A screen door suits an alfresco opening used often. The isolation of the WA market has little bearing on a stocked screen product. Fly screens are a screen installer's or handyman's product rather than a licensed building trade, so no licence is required, and unlike a certified security screen they carry no security rating, in Western Australia under WA Building Services for any building side.
Putting up fly screens is a screen-installer or handyman product and not a licensed building trade, so no building licence applies, and the screen is insect-only with no security rating, unlike a certified security screen, in Western Australia under WA Building Services on the building side. A Perth job prices from the opening count and the frame type, letting a home open to the cool evening breeze of the dry Mediterranean summer.
