A Stunning Wisteria and Unwelcome Visitors
In a renovated kitchen overlooking a thriving garden with a glorious wisteria, our clients were struggling with a very common problem: insects.
The homeowners had installed bifold doors to create a seamless connection between indoors and their garden. However, every time they opened the doors to enjoy the view, they were inundated with flies and wasps (particularly during spring and summer). The flowering wisteria outside was attracting bees and other insects, which often caused distress when they made their way into the kitchen.

finding The solution
A Discreet Motorised Fly Screen that Protects and Preserves
The family wanted to enjoy the indoor-outdoor lifestyle their kitchen renovation was designed for, without worrying about how to stop flies coming through bifold doors. That’s where we came in.
After a friendly email exchange and home survey, we recommended an automated insect screen to deliver complete insect control with minimal visual impact. This motorised fly screen was installed on the inside of the bifold doors and colour-matched to blend seamlessly with the white door frames.
Installation
Invisible and Indispensable
Fitted with our robust standard insect mesh, the screen creates a reliable barrier against unwanted insects while allowing fresh air to flow freely through the space. The fine mesh means views of the garden remain completely uninterrupted.
The remote control fly screen can be effortlessly raised or lowered at the touch of a button, and even provides 55% UV protection, which helps to soften glare.
The Result
A Garden Oasis and a Bug-Free Kitchen
When not in use, the insect screen for bifold doors retracts completely out of sight into a low-profile cassette, maintaining the clean, open look the homeowners originally wanted.
When deployed, this automated insect screen turns the kitchen into a fly-free sanctuary. The homeowners can now cook, dine, and entertain without the constant irritation of buzzing bugs, all while enjoying the sights, sounds and scents of their garden.
The homeowners were thrilled with the results. Now, they can open up their bifolds to ventilate the kitchen (removing steam and odours) with clean, fresh air and not worry about flying insects buzzing around the house.
