Most of us love the summer months and throw open all of our windows to get a taste of that warm air on a sunny day. But with open windows comes an all-too-familiar issue: insects. Whether it’s a rogue wasp that’s lost its way or the endless battle with fruit flies in your kitchen, keeping bugs out can be a daily frustration.
Blind Screen is a cleverly designed, all-in-one solution that offers thermal or blackout shading and insect protection in a single sleek system. If you’re searching for an effective insect screen for windows that also brings extra functionality, this could be the perfect upgrade for your windows this summer.
What is Blind Screen?
Blind Screen is a dual-function product that combines a fully retractable blackout or thermal blind with a built-in fly screen or insect net. Traditional setups used to require separate units or sticky Velcro solutions. Blind Screen integrates both layers into one stylish, neatly fitting frame that is custom sized to your window or door.
It’s ideal for year-round use, but during the summer months is when it really shines. You can let fresh air in while keeping bugs out, darken rooms when the sun’s too bright, and enjoy flexible comfort without compromising on design.
Why you need an insect screen for windows in summer
Insects are more than just an annoyance in summer. They can disrupt sleep, spoil your food, and make everyday life uncomfortable. Flies are especially common across the UK from late spring through to early autumn. In the late summer months, aggressive wasps become an issue nationwide. And if you live in Scotland, you’re probably far too familiar with midges.
Using an insect screen for windows is the simplest and most effective way to keep these tiny pests out. But unlike bulky or fiddly alternatives, Blind Screen does the job discreetly and elegantly.
Fine mesh fly screen stops even the smallest bugs
Blind Screen’s mesh is ultra-fine. It’s far more effective than a basic screen or netting, and that means it keeps out even the tiniest flying pests. Midges, flies, mosquitoes… All stay firmly on the outside while your home stays breezy and fresh inside.
Perfect for windows and doors you use most
Many of us love to open our windows or even our doors throughout the day. Blind Screen is built to be durable, perfect for these high-traffic areas. The mesh layer can be operated independently of the blind, giving you flexible control depending on the time of day or activity.
Great for sleep during hot summer nights
Few things are more frustrating than trying to sleep in a stuffy bedroom with the windows closed – or worse, with bugs buzzing around your head. With a Blind Screen, you can sleep with your windows open for airflow while the insect mesh acts as a barrier. And when the sun rises extra early, the blackout layer means you can get quality sleep and maybe even a lie in.
More than just an insect screen
Unlike many insect screens for windows, Blind Screen is available in a range of frame colours and finishes. It blends into your décor with minimal visual impact. Sitting neatly within your window reveal, it is easy to operate, clean and maintain.
The blackout blind adds many more functions to your Blind Screen setup. In summer, it can help keep rooms cooler by blocking solar heat gain. Whether you’re working from home, watching a film, or trying to nap mid-afternoon, you’ll appreciate the light control as much as the bug protection.
How to choose the right Blind Screen model for you
With six models in the Blind Screen range there’s something for every space; from cosy bedrooms to wide bifold doors. Here’s how to choose the right Blind Screen based on your home, room type, and how you plan to use it this summer.
Blind Screen 01 Single Screen – for standard windows
If you just need one function – insect screen, blackout, or thermal – this model is sleek and discreet. Ideal for bedrooms, bathrooms, and home offices.
Blind Screen 02 Single Screen – for larger windows
If you’ve got wider windows or want a more premium feel, this single-screen model scales up beautifully. A clean finish and larger sizing makes it a great choice for contemporary homes with oversized windows.
Blind Screen 03 Single Screen – for patio, sliding or bifold doors
This robust model is designed to handle even wider openings, making it perfect for patio doors and bifold configurations. With its low threshold trackless system, there’s no need to worry about the frame causing a trip hazard for children or the elderly. The fabric becomes invisible when fully open and the slimline frame is easy to operate.
Blind Screen 01 Dual Screen – for versatility in smaller spaces
This dual screen model allows you to switch between an insect screen and a blind, so you’ll only need one window covering. Want to sleep in darkness at night but let in fresh air bug-free during the day? This is the one for you.
Blind Screen 02 Dual Screen – for larger windows that need flexible control
This model offers a more substantial setup for wider openings, with added design features like an adjustable-height handle. Simply pull the handle in one direction in the daytime for privacy and to keep bugs at bay, then move the mechanism in the other direction in the evening for the thermal or blackout blind.
Blind Screen 03 Double Track – for high-traffic doors and garden rooms
Covering spaces up to 6 metres wide, this model is ideal for busy family homes. Use the insect screen and thermal blind independently. Ideal for garden rooms, bifold doorways or open-plan living areas where you want seamless indoor-outdoor flow minus the bugs. This model also features a low-threshold track, so it won’t feel intrusive in your space.
Why choose Blind Screen?
There are plenty of insect screen products out there. But there are few that look as good, last as long, or offer as much flexibility as Blind Screen. It’s the perfect solution for those who want to be comfortable in the summer while still having a window covering option that benefits them the rest of the year.
