Why Fly Screens Are Needed in The European Climate
Europe’s climate can differ greatly from one country to the next.
A large portion has a fairly moderate cold climate, but in place one can also come by swelteringly hot summers as well as frigid winters.
With changes in weather like this it is also not unusual for mosquitoes and other insects to turn into regular, even if unwanted, house guests.
To complement such changes in the weather while at the same time protecting your home from flying pests, fly screens are just the thing to afford you peace of mind as well as comfort for you and your family throughout the year.

Why fly screens for your house?
Fly screens have basically become a staple in European homes nowadays.
They are the best way to keep the elements out of your home while still allowing for proper air flow to keep the house feeling cool and fresh.
Fly screens can also help you to save money: the cooler air circulating through your homes may let you cut down on air conditioning during the summer months.
Furthermore, fly screens can allow you to enjoy the outdoors from home without all of the unwanted pests that go hand-in-hand with life in Europe.
Some people avoid fly screens because they feel that they will be ugly and ruin their views of the outdoors, but today’s fly screens are available in a wide variety of different design and styles to suit your tastes, and they can also be surprisingly inconspicuous.

We recently moved to a new home that has a number of casement windows with no screens. This wouldn’t be a problem, except that whenever we open our windows we almost instantly attract flies and insects. After doing a bit of research, it seemed like most of our options were going to be pricey with custom window screens needed to be made.
But then we stumbled across these DIY window screens, and are happy we did! I installed each screen in about 20 minutes. So far, they’re all holding up well. Although we haven’t tried to remove the magnetic strip that’s stuck to the window frame, the screen itself is easy to remove and reattach if needed.
Best of all, they work a treat – we can open the windows without having flies and insects invade our space. Definitely recommended for casement windows.
The following lists the main reasons why fly screens are ideal for the climate in Germany:
1. Keeping out insects
Having grown up in Germany, we are all intimately familiar with the annoyance cause by mozzies and other flying insects.
These pests can also pick up diseases and spread them, such as the Ross River Virus, the Barmah Forest Virus, and in some rare cases the Murray Valley encephalitis virus.
On top of mosquitoes, pests like flies, midges, mites, and cockroaches also pose a significant health hazard.
Fly screens are the simplest and most elegant solution: keep the pests and their diseases out to begin with.
2. Natural cooling
Being able to open up your house on warmer evenings or in the daytime lets in fresh air while letting out older, staler air that would otherwise stay trapped inside, and moreover provides an all-natural and eco-friendly cooling system for your home.
3. Added security
Some types of fly screens, like the “Prowler Proof” screens made by Artilux, can even keep human intruders out of your home.
These screens are made with very strong mesh and are welded on so that they can’t be forced through or pulled off by burglars.
Screens like this come in a variety of sizes as well and can be installed on windows or sliding doors. They even come in a modern and sleek design so you can keep out home invaders in style.
4. Lets you enjoy the outdoors from inside
One of the best things about fly screens is how they allow you to enjoy the outdoors, leaving your windows and doors open given the right weather, without letting a host of things unwanted, insects or pollutants, into the house.
Installing fly screens into the sliding doors of your entertainment space, for example, allows you and your guests the freedom to enjoy the country’s natural beauty while remaining free from outdoor nuisances or allergens.
There is no better way to renovate and impress your guests than by incorporating the outdoors into your living space.
5. Ideal for people with allergies
Everyone knows that fly screens keep insects outside, but many do not know that they also offer protection from airborne allergens.
Many of the more common allergens, like pollen or dust, are sizable enough to be blocked out by door and window screening in addition to insects.
6. Come in a variety of different styles
There are three main types of fly screens, including:
- Retractable, meaning they can be drawn back or inward when not in use;
- Sliding, which are fixed but can be slid out of the way of one of the panes;
- Hinged, which are attached onto hinges so they can be opened and closed like a door.
And the types of mesh come in a number of varieties as well, ranging from very fine to super thick.
In addition to keeping out pests and allergens many screens offer additional features like being rust-proof, pet scratch proof, or intruder-proof.
Fly screens also come in a variety of different styles so that they can complement or even embellish the aesthetic aspect of your home so that you can protect your home in style.
