Salt eats your screens.
We re-mesh them.

We strip, clean and re-mesh flyscreens and security doors with marine-grade 316 stainless and salt-rated mesh — built for balconies that cop sea spray every single day.

  • 48 hrsstandard turnaround
  • 12 mthsworkmanship warranty
  • 316marine stainless grade

What we re-mesh

Six jobs, one van, one workshop bench in St Leonards. Every mesh we fit is chosen for the salt load of your building, not for whatever was on the shelf.

01

Window flyscreen re-meshing

Perished, sagging or rust-stained fibreglass mesh replaced with salt-rated fibreglass or PVC-coated aluminium, re-splined tight and squared in the frame.

  • Charcoal salt-rated fibreglass
  • Frame de-salted & corner-braced
  • New spline & clip refit
Details
02

Security door re-meshing

Blown or crumbling security mesh swapped for woven 316 marine stainless, with a fresh pressure retainer bead so the door still tests to AS 5039 impact requirements.

  • Woven or perforated 316
  • Isolation tape to stop galvanic bite
  • Lock, hinge & closer check
Details
03

Sliding & stacker screens

Balcony sliders that grind, jump the track or bow in the middle. We re-mesh the panel and rebuild the running gear in the same visit.

  • Stainless roller replacement
  • Track scrub & dry-lube
  • Mid-rail straightening
Details
04

Pet & balcony-safe mesh

Heavy-gauge pet mesh for cats and dogs that treat the screen as a door, plus fine-aperture mesh for high-rise balconies where wind-blown grit is the real enemy.

  • 7-strand pet mesh
  • Midge-grade fine aperture
  • Reinforced bottom rail
Details
05

Strata & whole-building runs

One scope, one invoice, one lift booking. We work block by block for strata committees and building managers, with a written panel register per unit.

  • Per-unit panel register
  • Volume pricing above 20 panels
  • Common-area induction ready
Details
06

Salt service & tune-up

An annual flush for owners who would rather maintain than replace: full salt wash, hardware lubrication and a written condition note on every screen.

  • Fresh-water salt flush
  • Corrosion photo-free report
  • Booked yearly, cancel anytime
Details

The problem in one line

Salt mist plus cheap mesh equals rust streaks down your render in under two summers.

  • Within 400 m of open surf, mesh life drops by half.
  • Mixed metals in a frame corrode each other — fast.
  • Most rusted screens do not need replacing, only re-meshing.

We only work where the air is salty

Saltline Mesh Co. started in 2012 on a single balcony in North Bondi, after the owner was quoted for six brand-new security doors that only needed new mesh. Thirteen years later we do one thing: re-mesh screens and doors for apartments along the Sydney coast.

Our bench is in St Leonards. Panels come off in the morning, get stripped, de-salted, re-splined with marine-grade mesh and go back the same or next day. For security doors we work on site or swap the whole leaf so your entry is never left open.

We quote in writing, we label every panel by room, and we tell you plainly when a frame is past saving instead of selling you mesh that will not hold.

  • Owner-operated, two-van crew
  • Fully insured for strata sites
  • Drop sheets on every floor
  • Old mesh recycled, not binned

Six reasons owners ring us back

No showroom, no sales team, no upsell scripts. Just the details that decide whether a screen lasts two years or ten by the water.

A

Marine metals only

316 stainless mesh and stainless fixings. No 304 shortcuts on beachfront work.

B

Galvanic isolation

Isolation tape between mesh and aluminium so the two metals stop chewing each other.

C

Lift-friendly method

Panels wrapped and carried out, cutting done at the bench. No dust in the hallway.

D

Fixed written price

Measured, quoted, locked. If we find extra damage you approve it first.

E

48-hour turnaround

Standard jobs back within two working days. Same-day option for single panels.

F

12-month warranty

Workmanship and spline covered for a full year, salt exposure included.

What Sydney owners say

A few notes from apartments between Palm Beach and Cronulla.

Eleven screens, all rust-streaked after two years of southerlies. Saltline took them on Tuesday morning and hung them back Wednesday arvo. Tight as a drum and no marks on the walls.

Marika D.Owner, 3-bed apartment, Coogee

Our committee had quotes to replace 34 security doors. Saltline re-meshed 31 of them and told us straight which three frames were finished. Saved the building a fortune.

Two cats, a west-facing balcony and constant sea spray. The pet mesh has copped a year of claws and still looks new. Booking, quote and invoice all arrived on time.
