The short review: Bayside delivers a top quality product and keeps their deadlines no matter what with a price that was excellent.For greater detail supporting that, then read on...Bayside Security Doors and screens did an absolutely fantastic job on replacing all my flyscreen doors (top balcony and back yard - 5 doors total) plus once i saw their security doors i opted to swap those in for my downstairs flyscreens.Sent my email inquiry in the AM and they contacted me the same day then immediately arranged a measure a couple of days later. I had a quote the next AM waiting for me.Not knowing anything about security doors (having been an apt dweller my whole life and this being my first real house) i was invited to the showroom to see the finished products and options in the factory. Wes took his time explaining the manufacturing and different grades of screening and frames. After comparing Bayside’s security doors to Crimsafe, they were exactly the same sturdiness and quality but without the “name brand” price/penalty. Easy to make my decision on the spot. Then looking at the aluminium grades for the flyscreens i was impressed with the visibility and durability of the product. Even their security mesh has better visibility than most of the flyscreen mesh i saw on the market.They quoted me 3 weeks and were spot on their delivery date. Upon install, it was discovered that the original builder skimped on the track guide for the top of the frame attached to the house. They had a solution immediately (which was to retrofit a top bubble guide into the frame which removed the significant annoying wind wobble (i thought that was just normal). When i offered for them to come back to handle the unexpected issue, Wes immediately insisted they guaranteed the date and RETURNED later in the day with the parts and did the retrofit. The end result was zero gap and incredibly smooth action on the doors. The precision was perfect. Not so much as a rattle.I’d strongly recommend them for any sliding security / flyscreen door solution. And if and when the time comes my shower doors need replacing (or i just get bored with them), I know who i’m going to call. No need to look any further.Thanks Wes, Lachlan and Axel for the amazing service and awesome product.

If deposits remain, use a wet sponge to clean them away. For the most stubborn deposits, use a soft non-abrasive brush or cloth and mild detergent. Wipe down with an absorbent chamois cloth so you don’t get watermarks.

Bifold doors can be screened with retractable fly screens using these different configurations to support the optimum use of your doorway as an exit and entry point.
If all your door panels fold to one side, you can have one single fly screen covering the entire opening.
If you have an even number of panels opening in the middle, you can have a double screen that meets in the middle.
If you have an odd number of panels on one side (including just one panel on one side and multiple on the other), you can use a double screen with an offset element.
Casement windows have a side-hung frame hinged on the left or right. This type of window is pushed to open outwards. Given this, you need to install the screen on the inside of the window.
The best option is to use a retractable roll-up fly screen. The cassette is installed on the top of your window frame.
However, if you have a horizontal set-up, the cassette can be installed on the side of your window frame.
These configurations let you roll it down or across and easily retract the screen when you’re wanting coverage or opening or closing your casement window.
