Flies might seem like nothing more than a warm weather annoyance, but when they start buzzing around the kitchen or lounge, they bring more than just irritation. These unwelcome guests can carry harmful bacteria, spread illness, and contaminate food. That’s why fly screens are a vital summer home accessory.
By fitting insect blinds on windows, patios and doors, homeowners can enjoy a safer, more hygienic environment without compromising on fresh air or natural light. At Cambridge Blinds, we offer a range of premium fly screen solutions for every part of a home. Below we take a closer look at the health benefits of installing fly screens and how we can help transform a living space into a more peaceful and protected retreat.
Keep Germs and Bacteria at Bay
Flies are known carriers of bacteria such as e.coli and salmonella, which they pick up from waste, decaying food, or animal droppings. When flies land on kitchen surfaces, fresh food, or cutlery, they can transfer these harmful microbes without anyone even noticing. This can lead to foodborne illnesses and infections, particularly dangerous for children, elderly people, and anyone with a weaker immune system. By installing insect screens on windows and doors, the physical barrier stops flies from entering the home in the first place, reducing the risk of cross contamination and supporting a cleaner, healthier living environment.
Protect Children and Pets from Pests
Children often play on the floor or snack on food that’s within easy reach. Pets can also be exposed to the risks of flies landing on their food or bedding. With fly screens for bifold doors, homeowners can enjoy the benefits of having the bifold doors open while maintaining peace of mind that their family is protected from irritating pests and the germs they bring with them. Fly screens are a great choice for nurseries, playrooms, and kitchens, where hygiene and comfort are especially important.
Reduce Allergens and Airborne Irritants
In addition to keeping insects out, modern fly screens can also help block dust, pollen, and other airborne particles that contribute to allergies and respiratory discomfort. This is especially helpful in spring and summer when both pollen and flies are most active. High quality mesh materials can allow airflow while still filtering out the particles that might trigger hay fever or asthma. For those who want to enjoy these benefits but only as and when they’re needed, our retractable fly screens can be custom-fitted to existing windows or doors, and rolled away when not in use for a clean, unobtrusive finish.
Enjoy a Quieter, More Peaceful Environment
We all know the sound of a single fly trapped in a room can drive anyone to distraction. Whether trying to work from home, enjoy a family meal, or get a peaceful night’s sleep, that irritating buzz can quickly become a nuisance. By fitting fly screens, the problem is eliminated at the source, preventing flies from entering and preserving a home as a calm and comfortable sanctuary. No more worrying about being kept awake at night with the constant buzzing of unwanted guests; fly screens mitigate this issue entirely.
Maintain a Fresh Breeze Without the Risk
During the warmer months, it’s natural to want to throw open the patio doors to let in some fresh air. But without screens, this means welcoming in flies, wasps, midges and more. Our fly screens for patio doors, whether they be French doors or bifold, are designed to let air circulate freely while keeping insects out. That way, the home can be ventilated without compromise. Our solutions are stylish, discreet, and tailored to the space, making them ideal for both traditional and modern homes.
