Thread: Screens on slider doors/windows - Inside or outside?

yep inside .

You can get a breeze in the house with windows open and no flying beasties with screens inside

ours are inside. the ruddy things always seem to be coming off the rails though.

It seems odd to me, you open the screen to open the window, giving insects a chance to fly in during the process. Never seen them inside before but I guess if that is the norm here... so be it.

As DD says.

There you have it, unless you have sliding windows , bcus I never saw a window open inwards before, be a bit daft and painful until you got used to them

Most are inside but its a pain in the arse to take out and clean em or replace the mesh .

Not at all. It takes seconds to remove them.

Yes, these are sliders.

I totally understand for windows that open outwards, but for sliders it doesn't seem right.

Oh well. Sigh.

it doesn't make much difference, either way they are a pain in the ass

we fitted some to our kids room but hardly use them - we use a mossie net on her bed and very few other flies etc come in where we don't have any fitted

If you put all sceens on the outside you don't have to remove them at all...!!
Just hose them to clean...

Always inside if they were outside I would say sack the builder I have pull down screens built into the window frame ( Sun Paradise ) but they cost more

I have tinted aliminium framed sliding windows and sliding screens fitted inside.works a treat...
