Domestic Vs Commercial Flyscreens
One of the most common questions we are asked is what is the difference between a domestic and commercial flyscreen. In this post, we’ve made the comparison of the two different types over varying points to help you decide which type would suit your needs best.
A domestic screen is designed for regular use in a household, built to endure the daily activities of a small family. In contrast, a commercial screen is constructed to handle heavier foot traffic and more demanding conditions, such as those found in restaurants or factories.
Durability
Both the domestic and commercial profiles are made from robust aluminium. The biggest difference is their size. For example, our commercial fixed screens incorporate a profile measuring 28mm x 16mm. Whereas our domestic screens – also manufactured with a strong aluminium profile – are slightly thinner at 25mm x 12mm. Although this difference may appear minimal, it significantly impacts the durability required for areas subjected to heavier pedestrian traffic.

Commercial Profile
Size
Commercial screens are typically designed to cover larger openings than those found in residential settings. For example, our commercial fixed window screens can be manufactured up to 2 meters in height, while our domestic fixed window screens only reach a height of 1.5 meters. Due to this difference, the domestic-grade profile is not strong enough to support larger screens without risking warping or bending. In contrast, the commercial-grade profile has the strength necessary to accommodate larger sizes while maintaining reliability and durability.
Design Featurescommercial insect panel curtain
Commercial flyscreens offer additional features like kick plates and stronger mesh. For example, our domestic insect panel curtain is made with standard fiberglass mesh, while our commercial version utilizes a heavy-duty mesh that is thicker and designed to withstand heavy traffic.
However, this increased durability means that the commercial mesh is bulkier, which may not be as visually appealing for use in a domestic setting. Although the thicker mesh is likely to be more sustainable, it can also reduce visibility.
Comparison Conclusion
When choosing between flyscreen options, two key factors to evaluate are durability and cost. Commercial grade screens are designed to withstand heavy traffic, making them ideal for environments such as offices, warehouses, or public spaces such as restaurants where foot traffic is high. These options are built with stronger materials that resist wear and tear, ensuring a longer lifespan even under demanding conditions. However, this enhanced durability comes at a premium price.
On the other hand, if you’re looking for flyscreens for a home or a low-traffic area, domestic grade options may be the better fit. These materials are suitable for general everyday use, such as in living rooms, kitchens or bedrooms, where the volume of foot traffic is significantly lower. Choosing domestic options can help you save money without sacrificing quality for your specific needs. Ultimately, your choice should align with the level of foot traffic in your space and your budget considerations.
We are proud to offer a selection of both commercial and domestic screens tailored to meet your specific needs. Whether you’re looking for high-quality window screens or durable door screens, we have a variety that can be customized to fit any opening in your home or business. Our options include made-to-measure screens, ensuring a perfect fit for unique spaces, as well as convenient DIY kits.
