  • Engineered for lifestyle – covering wide openings with smooth, reliable operation.
  • Refined in design – sleek, minimal and suited to both heritage and modern homes.
  • Custom-fitted – measured and installed by professionals who understand the demands of coastal and bayside living.

From Portsea holiday retreats to Mount Eliza family homes or Brighton townhouses, Freedom screens offer year-round comfort and usability.

The process from start to finish was fantastic.

John Paul came to measure the doors. He was super friendly, knowledgeable and helpful with directing us to our final decisions.
The product was ready in five weeks and was installed this week. The guys that installed the screens were professional, courteous and made quick work of it.

The product is amazing; I’m so happy with it. We have indoor cats, and as a result have had our outside doors (alfresco and french doors) closed off for some time. It’s wonderful to have them open again and not be anxious that the cats might escape! The screens are almost invisible, so you don’t realize they are there. The frames blend nicely into the door frames and you would not know the difference.

Highly recommended, both as a product and enjoyable customer experience.

I wanted the best product out there and I have not been disappointed!
From the initial phone call to the quote and then the install, I cannot fault the professionalism of John Paul and his team at Freedom screens.
Five retractable screen doors including a double width opening – they are just magnificent!

Freedom Screens were absolutely incredible to deal with from start to finish. John Paul, the owner came out to personally measure the space, even though we were out of the Melbourne area. He was incredibly professional and informative. The screen was fitted on time and whilst I was not able to be home, with no mess left and you wouldn’t have known they had even been. The screen itself is brilliant, allowing us to enjoy the sensational view but without the insects. It’s easy to use and have had no issues with it. The after care service and follow up has also been outstanding. Highly recommended!

Freedom Screens (Richmond) were extremely professional all the way. When quoting they gave us all the installation options and showed us how it would look and be installed with sample sections. The installation was spot on and could not be faulted. Hayden who quoted and installed the screens was absolutely fantastic, very courteous, super clean and did a great installation. Well done guys . Extremely happy.
