In most Aussie homes, the sliding glass door is the heart of the house, but without a quality screen, you’re forced to choose between fresh air or pest control.
Sliding flyscreen doors from Doors Plus are the easy solution to this age-old dilemma. Engineered for the Australian climate, our premium Nubreeze and Ultrasafe ranges are the answer if you need high-end style and heavy-duty protection.
Whether you need a simple flyscreen sliding door for airflow or a stainless-steel security powerhouse, we have the solution for you!
Why Choose Sliding Flyscreen Doors for Your Home?
If you are currently looking at a glass door and wondering, “Can you add flyscreens to sliding doors?” the answer is a definite yes. In fact, for most Australian households, it’s less of an option and more of a necessity for comfortable year-round living.Enhanced Airflow and Comfort
The primary job of a sliding flyscreen door is to let your house breathe. By allowing fresh air to circulate through the home, you can significantly reduce your reliance on air conditioning.
This passive cooling isn’t just good for your comfort; it’s great for your energy bills. A well-placed screen allows for cross-ventilation, pulling cool air in through the front and pushing hot air out through the back.
Seamless Integration With Sliding Doors
Modern flyscreen doors sliding on a track are designed to disappear into your home’s design. They shouldn’t clank, stick, or look like an afterthought.
Whether you have a massive alfresco area or a standard laundry slider, a well-fitted screen provides a clean, professional finish that complements your existing glass doors, patios, or alfresco spaces.
Durability for Australian Conditions
Our sun is harsh, and our coastal salt spray is even harsher. A cheap screen will become brittle and tear within a couple of seasons.
High-quality flyscreen for sliding door options uses UV-stabilised mesh and powder-coated frames to ensure that the screen you install today still looks and functions perfectly five years down the line.
Nubreeze Sliding Flyscreen Doors
If your main priority is getting as much fresh air into the house as possible without feeling like you’re behind bars, the Nubreeze range is the easy favourite.Superior Airflow Technology
The Nubreeze range is built around patented technology designed to maximise ventilation. Traditional mesh can sometimes feel restrictive, almost like a thin wall.
Nubreeze uses a high-visibility mesh that is fine enough to keep out even the smallest insects but open enough to let the breeze flow through unimpeded.
Durable and Lightweight Design
Nobody wants a screen door that requires a gym membership to slide open. Nubreeze screens are remarkably lightweight, making them easy for children and seniors to operate.
Despite being light, the frames are structurally very strong and resistant to the warping that often plagues big box DIY screens. Our diamond grille design is a classic choice, offering an unobtrusive look that suits homes of all styles.
Customisable Options
We know that every Aussie home is unique. That’s why our Nubreeze screens, are available in multiple colours and finish options, you can match your screen perfectly to your existing style and a touch of panache to your home.
Pet-Friendly Features
For many of us, the family includes four-legged members. We often get asked how to replace the flyscreen on sliding door frames because a dog has jumped on it or a cat has used it as a scratching post.
Nubreeze offers heavy-duty mesh options that are much tougher than standard fibreglass, ensuring your pets stay in, and the bugs stay out without ruining your screen.
Ultrasafe Sliding Security Screen Doors
Sometimes, you need more than just a bug barrier. If you live in a busy area or simply want the peace of mind that comes with a secure door, the Ultrasafe range is the answer!
Enhanced Security Features
Ultrasafe isn’t just a sliding flyscreen door; it’s a security powerhouse. It features 316 marine-grade stainless steel mesh that is practically impossible to cut or kick in.
This is paired with a tamper-proof framing system and optional triple-lock mechanisms. It allows you to leave your main glass doors open overnight or while you’re in another part of the house, knowing the perimeter is secure!
Safety Without Sacrificing Style
Old-school security doors used to look like jail cells, with heavy bars and ornate diamond grilles. Ultrasafe provides a modern, clear-sighted view. From the street, it looks like a premium, sleek flyscreen. From the inside, it’s almost invisible, giving you security without sacrificing your view of the garden.
Anti-Corrosion and Longevity
Because Ultrasafe uses marine-grade stainless steel, it is the ideal choice for coastal homes. It is designed to resist the tea-staining and corrosion that salt air causes on inferior metals, ensuring your security door remains a permanent fixture of your home.
Perfect for Families
Ultrasafe provides an extra layer of safety for households with children and pets. The robust mesh means you don’t have to worry about kids accidentally pushing through a flimsy screen, and it stands up to the most enthusiastic pets without a hitch.
Professional Installation Services by Doors Plus
We generally recommend professional installation for the best results. Why? Because sliding door tracks are rarely perfectly square, especially in older homes. A professional installer from Doors Plus ensures the interlock (where the screen meets the glass door) is perfect, so there are no gaps for insects to crawl through, and the door glides easily.
Maintenance Tips for Sliding Flyscreen Doors
Cleaning the Screens
To keep your flyscreen sliding door looking new, give the mesh a vacuum with a soft brush attachment once a month to remove dust and spiderwebs. For deeper cleans, a quick spray with a garden hose on a low-pressure setting followed by a wipe-down with mild soapy water works wonders.
Lubricating Tracks
If you find your door sticking, it’s usually the tracks. Keep the bottom tracks clear of hair, dirt, and stones. Periodically lubricate the rollers with a silicone-based spray—avoid grease, which actually attracts gunk and makes the problem worse over time.
How to Replace Flyscreen Mesh on Sliding Door
- Remove the old rubber “spline” that holds the mesh in place.
- Lay your new mesh over the frame.
- Use a spline roller tool to press new cord into the groove, then carefully trim the excess mesh with a utility knife. Knowing how to replace flyscreen mesh on a sliding door can save you a full door replacement for minor tears.
