Several Holidays to Tasmania from the Adelaide Hills eventually led us to a business manufacturing fly screens.
We (Carol & John Mc Grath) – mug shot below, moved to Tasmania, Australia’s most southern state in August in 2000 and commenced development work on the flexiscreen® insect screen concept in October of that year.
We found that the windows in our 1860′s cottage in the beautiful Huon Valley could not be screened with “standard aluminium” framed screens. Our windows were out of square, oddly shaped and just impossible to screen. We were desperate to have some sort of screening as we were surrounded by cows!
Because we experienced these problems we felt that there must be other home owners like yourselves, experiencing this very dilemma.
We thought of you, being the home, boat, and caravan owner having window designs that cannot have “standard aluminium” screens fitted to them either. Aluminium screens as you know are difficult to manufacture to the tolerances required to keep out crawling insects too and they are generally unsatisfactory in the way that they attach to the window frames, usually by means of a small spring-loaded clip or swivel hooks, which often breaks. flexiscreens® flyscreens overcome all of these problems providing a complete seal along all edges of the screen.
After months spent working on a prototype, flexiscreens® was born in 2000. Our biggest challenge was mastering the right manufacturing and distribution model. We had some teething problems initially but learned quickly. We realised that our primary market were glaziers and window furniture suppliers. Our other market was you the home, boat, van owner who were confident using a tape measure and wanted to purchase without leaving home.
Word of mouth, driven distributors and an easy-to-use website are important components for getting our flexiscreen® bug screens onto your windows. We are amazed at how much business is generated through you our customers passing on our details to your many friends and families, along with our distributors spreading the word in their industry.
Each screen is custom – made to your measurements incorporating high quality VELCRO brand fasteners, achieving a quality end product ( don’t settle for anything less.) The loop part is sewn to the mesh and the self-adhesive hook attaches to your frame.
The flexible construction of the flexiscreens® fly screen enables them to be folded and easily posted to you and our distributors. Australia Express Post is used to send the flexiscreens flyscreens within Australia and airmail for our overseas orders, free of charge to you.
