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

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.
“
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.
