Aluminium chain link fly screens that are lightweight, durable and hair-resistant. Simply walk through them and they fall back behind you.
Chain fly screens, also called chain curtains, chain link fly screens, fly curtains or the traditional butcher's chain curtain, are designed for busy back doors that stay open in summer. They're the easiest fly barrier to walk through carrying a tray, a shopping bag, or a pet. The aluminium chains part with a light push and fall back behind you under their own weight.
The way the aluminium chains catch the light gives them a soft visual presence that lets light through without hiding the doorway. From the inside you can hear someone approaching before they get to the door. From the outside, you can see clearly enough to know if the kitchen is busy. They don't replace a door, they just keep flies out when the door is open.
James has stocked aluminium chain screens since the business began in 2004. They've remained a steady seller for both pubs and home kitchens where the back door stays open for hours and the family wants the breeze without the flies.
The standard sizes are 90×210cm in either the domestic Standard variant or the heavier Commercial variant with wall brackets. For doorways outside that, custom widths from 100cm to 200cm are available by email. Each screen comes fully assembled with a top rail ready to hang above the doorway. If you'd prefer a walk-through screen with a different feel, see the strip flyscreen door.

Standard vs Commercial: Which Do I Need?
Standard Grey (£120.99). The everyday domestic chain screen. Lightweight at 4kg, hair-resistant, and fully assembled. Fits most home doorways straight from the box.
Commercial Grey (£149.99). Heavier-duty construction for high-traffic environments. Includes wall brackets for a more secure installation. Used in commercial kitchens, food preparation areas, and industrial settings where the screen takes constant use.
For most homes, the Standard is the right choice. If you're in a shop, kitchen or anywhere the door gets hammered all day, go Commercial.
What Are They?
Aluminium chain link fly screens, also known as chain curtains or fly curtains for doors, designed for easy installation. Fully assembled and ready to use straight from the box. The lightweight domestic model weighs just 4kg but is tough and durable. Hair-resistant construction makes them ideal for homes with pets.
Easy to Fit?
Very easy.
Screw the supplied hooks into the top of the door frame
Hang the screen rail on the hooks
Remove links from the bottom until the screen just touches the ground
That's it. The screen arrives fully assembled with all links already attached to the rail.
Easy to Use?
Just walk through. The aluminium chains part naturally as you pass through, then fall back into place behind you. They're lightweight enough for easy passage but heavy enough to settle quickly.
