Keep bugs out while allowing fresh air in
Having insect screens for your windows makes a big difference, especially in the warmer months when you're more likely to open windows to enjoy fresh air and natural light.
With the warmer weather in the summer months, it's not uncommon for bugs like mosquitoes, flies, and midges to find their way indoors. This can be particularly frustrating when you’re trying to relax in your living room or sleep with the window open, only to be interrupted by buzzing or biting insects.
VELUX window insect screens provide a simple and effective solution to let you enjoy fresh air and natural light without worrying about unwanted insects inside your home. The transparent mesh fabric is fine enough to block even the smallest pests, yet still allows for unobstructed views and ventilation. No matter which room they are installed in, our window bug screens provide a practical way to maintain a comfortable indoor environment, free from bugs.
Find a fitted bug screen for your VELUX windows
Our fly screens are designed to be fully compatible with most VELUX roof windows, letting you easily find the perfect fit, regardless of the model. Our fly screens are designed to fit both sloped roof windows and flat rooflights, offering flexibility for any type of roof window in your home.
Whether you have a sloped roof window, a flat roof window or a modern curved glass rooflight, VELUX insect screens seamlessly integrate with your window style, offering effective insect protection without compromising the window's appearance or functionality.
Important note: Our insect screens are not suitable if you have installed VELUX double or triple roof window combinations. For these specific window types, we recommend exploring other solutions to ensure the best protection and performance for your home.
Key benefits of VELUX insect screens
100% insect-proof material
VELUX insect screens are made with a fine mesh construction, which is specifically designed for keeping flies, mosquitoes, moths and other common insects out. It’s both discrete and highly effective at the same time.
Unrestricted air and light intake
The mesh material is fine enough to not offer any obstruction in terms of still being able to enjoy natural air conditioning as well as allowing the natural light from outside to flow in and keep your space feeling open and inviting.
Easy installation and maintenance
Our insect screens are designed to fit seamlessly with your VELUX roof windows. They’re simple to install with no cutting required. Additionally, you can easily remove and clean the insect screen when needed.
Durable and sleek design
VELUX insect screens are built to last for years, utilising high-quality materials. The sleek, white-painted aluminium frame complements the modern look of your home, blending in seamlessly with your VELUX windows.
Easy to operate
You can easily operate the VELUX insect screen by using the elegant control bar to simply pull the roller fly screen when you need to keep insects out and retract it when you don’t. The screen is mounted on the lining or wall, allowing you to continue using your roof window as normal. When not in use, the insect screen tucks away neatly in a slim top casing.
Compatible with any VELUX blind or shutter
You don’t have to worry about choosing between installing only an insect screen, a blind, or a shutter. All VELUX fly screens are compatible with our blinds and shutters for maximum convenience. As such, you can easily switch between blocking out insects and controlling the light intake and room temperature.

Install your VELUX insect screen in 3 simple steps
Step 1: Measure your window recess
More information
More information
The insect screen is fitted to the window recess rather than the window frame itself. As such, you need to measure the width and height of the window recess to find the right size for your insect screen. It's essential to measure accurately, as the size code of the insect screen may differ from that of your roof window. Use these measurements to select the correct insect screen size from VELUX.
Step 2: Prepare for Installation

Once you have the right insect screen, check if you have a vertical window element (type VFE) installed under your roof window, especially if it’s part of a knee wall setup. This will determine the specific installation method. Ensure all parts are ready before beginning the installation.
