How Much Do Retractable Fly Screens Cost in Australia? (2025 Edition)
Retractable Fly Screens are a top choice for modern Australian homes in 2025 for very good reasons. When deciding on a retractable fly screen for your home, it is helpful to know the different types of screens available and how much they cost.
Retractable screens effortlessly screen all types of historically “difficult to screen” doors and windows (like popular bi-fold doors and casement windows) and maximise a home’s views and comfort. A retractable screen door is a stylish, discreet, practical and effective way to screen insects out of your home.
Types of Retractable Screens
The type of retractable fly screen you choose will affect the price of the screen. Generally there are two types of retractable screens:
- Smooth Retractable Screens – These function similarly to roller blinds. When not in use, the screen rolls into a discreet cassette mounted horizontally or vertically on the door or window frame.
- Pleated Retractable Fly Screens – Operating like a concertina, these screens fold neatly into themselves when retracted. They’re particularly suitable for wider openings, such as alfresco areas.
Estimated Costs of Retractable Fly Screens in 2025
Whereas regular fly screens cost around $100 sqm (custom made & installed), retractable fly screens come with advanced technology and features that justify a higher price point.
For a single-sided retractable fly screen in 2025, you can expect the following approximate costs:
Pleated Fly Screen in a Standard Track – Starting from $470 per square metre
Barrier Free Pleated Fly Screens – Starting from $675 per square metre. This design features a minimal track, blending seamlessly with your flooring
Smooth Retractable Screen – Starting from $470 per square metre
Barrier Free Smooth Retractable Fly Screen – Starting from $600 per square metre, offering a trackless bottom for unobstructed access
Additional Features and Their Costs
Custom Colour – Matching the screen to a specific colour outside the standard range may add approximately $440 per screen. Wood-effect finishes could cost around $675 extra.
Double Retractable – Ideal for wide openings like bi-fold doors, these screens pull out from both sides to meet in the middle, adding about $450 on top of the per square metre rate.
Blockout Fabric – Our simplicity screen (smooth retractable) may be upgraded to blockout fabric for an additional $499.
Why Choose Retractable Fly Screens?
Retractable fly screens are perfect for screening large or uniquely designed doors and windows, such as bi-fold doors, French doors, stacker doors, pivot doors, awning windows, and casement windows. They provide an effective barrier against insects while maintaining the aesthetic appeal of your home.
