DreamFlyScreen installs retractable fly screens and mosquito nets for doorways across every door type found in Dubai homes, apartments, and villas. Every door screen is 100% custom made to your exact door dimensions — no standard sizes, no gaps, no compromise on the seal against insects.
Single Hinged Doors
The most common door type across Dubai apartments and villas. The fly screen is fitted in the same door frame on its own hinges, opening outward alongside the main door independently.
Best: Single fly screen — AED 800Sliding Doors
Horizontal sliding doors — very common for balcony access in Dubai apartments. The fly screen is installed in a dedicated channel alongside the sliding door and operates completely independently.
Best: Hanged or single fly screenHigh-Traffic Doors
Kitchen doors, utility room doors, and any doorway where people approach from both sides. The two-way fly screen pushes open from either direction with no handles or latches needed.
Best: Two-way fly screenFrench Doors
Double-leaf doors opening inward or outward — popular in villa living rooms and master bedrooms. Each leaf gets its own screen panel, both operating independently from the main doors.
Best: Double fly screen — AED 950Balcony Doors (Apartments)
The most important door for mosquito protection in Dubai apartments. The hanged fly screen is ideal — slides along a top rail with no floor track, keeping the balcony floor completely clear.

In Dubai apartments, the balcony door is the single biggest entry point for mosquitoes. Most Dubai residents leave their balcony door open in the evenings for fresh air — and without a fly screen for the doorway, mosquitoes enter freely as soon as the sun goes down.
The most popular fly screen for balcony doors in Dubai apartment communities like JVC, Business Bay, and Downtown Dubai is the hanged fly screen — because it slides along a top rail with no bottom track, keeping the tiled balcony floor completely unobstructed. There is no track to step over, no dirt-collecting channel to clean, and no raised edge that could be a trip hazard.
Why Every Door in Your Dubai Home Needs a Fly Screen
Doors are fundamentally different from windows for mosquito protection. A window with no fly screen is an entry point — but most people do not actively open and close it repeatedly throughout the day. A door is opened and closed dozens of times daily, and each opening is an opportunity for mosquitoes to enter, especially in the evenings when insect activity peaks in Dubai.
As the World Health Organization confirms, physical mesh barriers are the most effective residential protection against mosquito-borne disease in warm climates. A properly fitted retractable fly screen for doors eliminates the entry point entirely — you can leave your door open all evening with complete insect protection and full natural airflow.
- Balcony doors — the highest priority in Dubai apartments. Leaving the balcony door open is the main cause of overnight mosquito exposure
- Kitchen back doors — in villas with garden access, the kitchen door is opened frequently during food preparation — the time when flies are most attracted
- Garden and pool doors — villa doors facing gardens and pools in communities like Arabian Ranches and The Meadows face the highest mosquito exposure areas on the property
- Utility and laundry room doors — often left open for ventilation, making them an overlooked entry point for insects
- Main entrance doors — a roll-up or motorized fly screen on the main entrance gives insect protection without compromising the appearance of the home
Fly Screen for Doors vs Windows — What Is Different?
Door fly screens and window fly screens use the same aluminium frame and fiber mesh materials but are engineered differently to handle the demands of regular use:
| Feature | Door fly screen | Window fly screen |
|---|---|---|
| Starting price | AED 800 | AED 450 |
| Frame gauge (aluminium thickness) | Heavier — handles daily use | Standard weight |
| Hinges or track mechanism | Heavy-duty door-grade hardware | Standard window hinges |
| Bottom brush seal (insects) | ✓ Included on door screens | ✗ Not needed on windows |
| Magnetic or latch closure | ✓ Self-closing option | ✗ Not applicable |
| Mesh type | Same premium fiber mesh | Same premium fiber mesh |
| Frame colour options | ✓ Any colour — no extra charge | ✓ Any colour — no extra charge |
Frame Colour & Mesh Options for Door Fly Screens in Dubai
Every DreamFlyScreen door fly screen frame is available in any aluminium colour — white, grey, black, brown, bronze, or any custom RAL colour — matched precisely to your existing door frame so the screen looks permanently designed into the door. The mesh is available in grey, dark grey, or black fiber. No extra charge for any colour choice — all options are included in the standard price.
For main entrance doors where appearance matters most, black mesh is the most popular choice — it is nearly invisible from inside, does not obscure the view outward, and gives the entrance a premium, barely-there look. For balcony doors in apartments, dark grey mesh is the most common choice as it provides excellent visibility while being subtle from outside.
Fly Screen for Doors Across Dubai Communities
Door fly screens are installed across every type of Dubai property — from mid-rise apartment towers to sprawling villa communities. The door types and priorities differ by property type:
- High-rise apartments in Downtown Dubai, Business Bay, and JVC — balcony door is the priority. Hanged fly screen or roll-up fly screen most common
- Townhouses in Al Furjan, Damac Hills, and The Springs — back garden door and front door. Two-way fly screen popular for kitchen access doors
- Detached villas in Arabian Ranches, Emirates Hills, and Palm Jumeirah — multiple doors including patio, pool, kitchen, and main entrance. Motorized fly screens increasingly popular for wide patio openings
- New communities in Tilal Al Ghaf and Dubai Hills Estate — new construction villas with large patio and bifold doors benefiting from extra wide or motorized fly screens
