Fly screen tension frames for windows - custom-fit insect protection in standard and special sizes

Fly screen frames are the proven solution for all types of windows – from classic tilt-and-turn windows to floor-to-ceiling elements. They are manufactured to exact dimensions and, depending on the system, can often be installed without drilling. This keeps the window frame intact, and the insect screen discreetly blends into the facade.

Why stretcher frames are the first choice

Compared to simple adhesive solutions or improvised nets, custom-made tension frames offer several advantages:

• perfect fit with no gaps
• stable, torsionally rigid frame profiles
• Optional color customization to match window frames (e.g., white, brown, anthracite)
• Assembly possible without drilling, depending on the system
• removable at any time for cleaning or overwintering

Dimensions and available sizes

Frame systems typically cover a wide range of sizes. Typical ranges include:

• Widths from approximately 400 mm to 1,600 mm
• Heights of approx. 300 mm to 2,000 mm
• Special formats (e.g., angled windows, round arches) available upon request

A precise measurement is important. Even a few millimeters of deviation can cause the frame to sit too loosely or not be installable at all.

Fabric variants for different needs

Depending on the application, different fabrics are available:

• Standard insect screen for reliable everyday protection
• Fine-mesh pollen protection fabric for allergy sufferers
• Pet fabric with a particularly tear-resistant structure
• Transparent high-view fabric with increased light and air permeability

Professional measurement and assembly

For the tension frame to fit perfectly later, a professional measurement is crucial. Here, not only width and height, but also rebate depths, seals, and any bevels are taken into account. The subsequent installation is carried out depending on the system using retaining brackets, spring pins, or clamping systems.

Conclusion

Fly screen tension frames are the ideal solution for windows when it comes to durable, unobtrusive insect protection. Custom-made design and a precisely matched mounting system ensure that the fly screen provides reliable protection – with maximum air circulation and high ease of use.

Tension frame screens show their strengths particularly in combination with modern window profiles made of plastic, aluminum, or wood-aluminum: they sit flush with the frame, can be color-matched, and remain dimensionally stable even with regular installation and removal. The fabric remains securely taut even with frequent ventilation and strong winds.

For builders, owners, and tenants, the tension frame offers a durable solution that can be flexibly adapted to changes – for example, when replacing windows or later retrofitting additional elements such as sun protection or privacy screens. This creates a harmonious overall concept for comfortable, insect-free living.
