Retractable screens
Pull the mesh across when you want it and roll it back into a slim side cassette when you do not. A favourite for hinged balcony doors and the bigger villa openings. More on retractable fly screens.
Open the windows and the balcony door, let the breeze run through the flat, and keep mosquitoes and flies outside. We make and fit custom fly screens right across the Circle, from low-rise apartment buildings to townhouse clusters and the independent villas in between.

A short look at how the mesh sits on JVC balconies, patio doors and windows. Tap a clip to play it.
JVC is mostly apartments and townhouses, with some villas, so the openings vary from a single studio window to a tall townhouse patio door. These are the screen types we fit most often around the community.
Pull the mesh across when you want it and roll it back into a slim side cassette when you do not. A favourite for hinged balcony doors and the bigger villa openings. More on retractable fly screens.
A screen that runs across on its own track beside a sliding balcony or patio door, gliding as easily as the door itself. See sliding door fly screens.
Two mesh panels that snap shut behind you on their own, with no track on the floor. Handy on a townhouse kitchen or garden door. More on magnetic fly screens.
The mesh folds away like a concertina to one side, sitting slim and tidy. A neat answer for a wide opening where a roller would be a long pull. See pleated fly screens.
Fixed or openable screens for bedroom, living-room and kitchen windows, made to each frame. The bread and butter of a JVC apartment. See fly screens for windows.
Screens for townhouse front doors and garden doors, sized to the opening and fitted without marking the frame. More on fly screens for doors.
The Circle is laid out as a ring of numbered districts, and the homes inside it cover three rough types. Here is where screens earn their keep in each of them.
Most JVC flats sit in low-rise and mid-rise buildings with a balcony off the living room. A sliding or retractable screen lets you leave that door open in the evening while the mosquitoes stay out. Related sliding door fly screens.
JVC townhouses usually open onto a small back garden through a patio door. That door takes a sliding or retractable screen so the children and the air can come and go without the flies following them in.
Up and down the home, each window gets a fixed or an openable screen depending on how much you use it. The one you crack open at night for air wants a screen that is easy to reach and slide, while a window that stays shut can take a simple fixed panel. See window fly screens.
The smaller JVC apartments are often a studio or a one-bed with one or two windows and a balcony. A single made-to-size window screen and a balcony-door screen usually cover the whole place.
JVC is known for its community cats, and on a ground-floor townhouse door or a low balcony a tougher pet-resistant mesh shrugs off the odd curious paw. A magnetic door screen also closes itself behind busy feet. More on magnetic screens.
The kitchen window you open while cooking, and the small utility or bathroom window, are easy wins. A fixed screen there keeps insects out all season with nothing to slide or adjust.
JVC sits in the middle of new Dubai, off Al Khail Road and a short hop from the Circle Mall, so we are quick to reach and we know the buildings here well.
Being central, the Circle is easy for us to get to, which means we can often book a free measure and the fitting itself without a long wait.
We have fitted screens across the inner and outer districts of JVC, in studio towers, townhouse rows and standalone villas, so a new building layout rarely throws us.
With so many homes here let rather than owned, a fit that leaves no mark is worth a lot. The screen bonds on, comes away clean, and the deposit is never in question.
Few suppliers carry more than one screen mechanism. We keep three families on hand, so the runner on your door can be matched to how hard it is used and to what you want to spend.
The home visit costs nothing and carries no obligation. We measure each opening, show you mesh samples, and give a clear price before anything is ordered.
If a screen in your JVC home is torn or sticking, we mend and re-mesh too, including screens we did not make. More on fly screen repair.
Every screen is made to size, so the final figure depends on the opening and the system you choose. These are honest starting points for JVC homes, all before the five percent VAT.
Prices rise with size and system. A studio with one window costs far less than a townhouse with several openings. You see the full quote at the free measure, with nothing added later. Payment is by cash or online.
The same simple routine for a studio tower and a townhouse cluster alike.
Send your JVC building or street on WhatsApp and we visit at a time that suits you. We measure every opening on site and talk through the screen and mesh that fit best. No charge and no pressure.
Your screens are cut to the exact measurements in your chosen system and mesh colour. This usually takes four to eight working days, since nothing here is off the shelf.
We come back and fix each screen on strong double-sided tape, around fifteen minutes for a normal opening. No holes, no mess, and the frames are left exactly as we found them.
JVC is one of our busiest Dubai communities, and we cover the city and beyond. Nearby we also fit screens in Dubai Hills and across to Palm Jumeirah, with the full list on our services page.
A few examples of the screens we have made and fitted for apartments and townhouses in the Circle.



JVC is still filling in. New towers and townhouse rows hand over across the districts every few months, and a fresh set of keys usually arrives with the same short list of jobs. Screens tend to land near the top of it, just after the deep clean and before the furniture goes in. That is the easiest moment to do them, with empty rooms, clear reach to every window, and a balcony door that has not yet disappeared behind a sofa. Booking the measure for handover week means the screens are ready to go on as you move in, rather than a job you keep meaning to get to once the mosquitoes have already found the bedroom.
The shape of the community helps. Roads loop it in rings, the green spine and the walk to Circle Mall sit at the heart of it, and most buildings share the same handful of window and door types, so we rarely meet an opening we have not screened before. That familiarity keeps the visit quick and the quote straight. A tower apartment is normally the balcony slider and two or three windows; a townhouse is the patio door, the front door and the bedrooms above, done in a single fitting once everything is made.
Homes at ground level and on podium floors get a little extra thought, since they sit closest to the planting and to the cats the area is known for. A tougher mesh and a door screen that closes itself earn their place down there. Higher up, the brief is usually about the breeze and the long view over the rooftops, which points to a slim frame and a dark, see-through mesh. Tell us the building and the floor and we will bring the samples that match.
Practical answers for apartments and townhouses in the Circle, from picking a screen to renting and looking after it.
The two main JVC home types lead to different screens. An apartment usually means one balcony door and a handful of windows, so a sliding or retractable screen on the balcony plus made-to-size window screens covers it. A townhouse adds a ground-floor patio door, a front door and bedroom windows over two or three floors, so there is more to do but the same logic holds. Match the screen to how often you open each thing, and use openable screens where you reach in and out, fixed ones where you do not.
A large share of JVC homes are rented, which is exactly why the way a screen attaches matters so much here. Ours grip the surround with an industrial bonding tape, so the frame is left untouched and a tenancy can end without a single mark to explain. Many residents move within the Circle every year or two as new buildings hand over, and a screen that lifts away cleanly travels with that rhythm. If you want to clear it with a landlord first, the pitch is simple: the property comes back exactly as it went out. Owners gain the same tidy finish, with no holes drilled near the glass.
Mesh is where comfort and looks meet. A standard fine netting handles the everyday mosquitoes and flies while staying easy to see through, and the colour you pick changes the view: a charcoal weave reads as almost invisible against the bright streets, where a paler one shows up as a faint grid. Fine dust drifts through new Dubai and settles on any netting, so an occasional brush keeps it clear. Homes near the green spine or on a ground-floor patio, where the Circle’s well-known cats roam, often step up to a claw-tough weave that takes a knock without tearing. Samples come along to the measure, so the call is yours, made against your own glass.
Balconies are the heart of a JVC flat, and a good screen should sit quietly. A slim aluminium frame in a colour close to your window finish keeps the screen low-key, and a retractable or sliding panel disappears to one side when it is rolled back. The mesh itself is see-through, so the view of the green streets and the Circle stays clear. Nothing is fixed to the building structure, which keeps things simple in a managed apartment block. We will look at the door at the measure and suggest the tidiest option for your particular balcony.
Not every screen runs on the same gear. We stock three families of system, from German, Italian and Turkish makers, and that range lets us suit the mechanism to the job instead of fitting one type to everything. A townhouse patio door the whole family uses wants a solid, smooth runner that will not complain after a thousand passes; a quiet studio window is content with something lighter and cheaper. At the measure we lay out the realistic options for each opening with a price beside each, so the decision is an informed one and not a guess.
Upkeep is light. Brush the mesh and run a cloth along any track from time to time and a screen will keep sliding sweetly for years, even with the fine grit that blows across the community. When wear does show, a sagging panel, a runner gone stiff or a roller past its best, it is usually mendable rather than a write-off, and we re-mesh and refit screens of every kind, not only our own. A photo of the one in your home is enough for us to say plainly what it needs. More on our repair service and mesh replacement.
Keeping insects out of the home is partly about a good night’s sleep and partly about health. The World Health Organization notes that window and door screens are a simple, effective barrier against the mosquitoes that can carry disease. In a dense community like JVC, where homes sit close together and greenery draws insects in the warmer months, a fitted screen lets you ventilate naturally without inviting them inside. The same caution applies to illnesses such as dengue, where reducing mosquito contact in the home is a sensible everyday step.
The things JVC residents ask us most before booking a free measure.
Yes. We cover the whole Circle, every district from the inner ring out to the edges, and we work on apartments, townhouses and the independent villas alike. A lot of our JVC visits are mid-rise apartment buildings and townhouse clusters, so the building type is rarely a problem. Tell us your tower or street and we will come and measure for free, with no obligation to go ahead afterwards.
Yes, and this is the part most JVC tenants ask about. We fix screens on a strong double-sided tape rather than drilling, so nothing is screwed into the frame and there are no holes left behind. When a tenancy ends the screens lift away clean, so a deposit stays safe and a landlord has nothing to deduct. It is the same clean fit on a studio window as on a three-bedroom townhouse.
It depends on the balcony door. A sliding balcony door usually takes a sliding panel screen that runs across on its own track, while a hinged door is better with a retractable screen that rolls away when you are not using it. Both keep the view across the community and let the evening air in. We look at the door at the free measure and tell you which option fits your particular layout.
Yes. JVC townhouses are usually two or three floors, with a patio door onto a small garden downstairs and bedroom windows above. The patio door takes a sliding or retractable screen, and the windows take fixed or openable screens to match how often you use them. We can do the whole townhouse in one visit once the screens are made, and the upstairs windows are no harder than the ground floor.
For most homes a fine fibreglass or polyester mesh is the right call. It holds back mosquitoes and flies, lets plenty of air through, and comes in black, grey or charcoal. JVC has a well-known community-cat population, and on ground-floor townhouses or low balconies a tougher pet-resistant mesh is worth considering so claws do not mark it. We bring samples so you can see them against your own light.
A fixed screen starts from around 300 dirhams, an openable window screen from about 400, and a door screen from roughly 700, all before the five percent VAT. The final figure depends on the size and the type, and a townhouse with several openings naturally costs more than a single studio window. Every opening is measured and quoted for free first, so you see the full price before any work begins, with nothing added at the end.
The free measure takes a few minutes per home. After that your screens are made to size, usually within four to eight working days, and then we come back to fit them. A normal window or door takes around fifteen minutes to fit, and larger or unusual openings a little longer. Because JVC is central and easy to reach, we can often schedule both the measure and the fitting quickly.
Yes. As well as making new screens we repair and re-mesh existing ones, including screens we did not originally make and ones left behind by a previous tenant. A torn or sagging mesh can be replaced, a screen that has jumped its track can be reset, and worn rollers or handles can be swapped. Send us a photo of the screen in your JVC home and we will tell you honestly if it is a quick fix or a replacement.
