Fresh air, soft light and seamless entertaining with Luxaflex® VelaScreen®
As the days grow longer and the air begins to warm, our homes naturally start to open up. Living rooms extend onto decks. Dining areas flow into courtyards. Family time shifts closer to the garden. And entertaining becomes more relaxed.
Yet anyone who loves opening their home to the outdoors knows there is always a balance to strike. You want the breeze, but not the insects. You want connection to the garden, but not a lack of privacy. You want daylight and openness through the day, but comfort and blockout when evening settles in.
Luxaflex® VelaScreen® has been designed for this exact rhythm of Australian living. Combining a retractable insect screen and a blockout honeycomb blind in one streamlined system, it allows you to enjoy fresh air and insect-free comfort by day, then privacy and darkness by night, without compromising the beauty of your space.
Indoor-outdoor living is about more than simply opening your doors. It’s about creating a sense of flow between inside and out, allowing the home to feel brighter, more generous and more connected to the seasons.
For many homes, that flow happens through wide openings, bi-fold doors, stacker doors, French doors, servery windows or sliding doors that connect kitchens, dining areas and living spaces to outdoor entertaining zones. These are the places where airflow, light control and privacy matter most. They are also the places where traditional fly screens can feel bulky, fixed or visually distracting.
Luxaflex® VelaScreen® offers a refined solution. Its slim, considered design is made to integrate beautifully with windows and doors, helping keep spaces open and inviting while maintaining the level of comfort needed throughout the day.
When you are preparing lunch with the doors open, the insect screen allows fresh air to move through the home while keeping flies and mosquitoes outside. As the afternoon light shifts, the blockout honeycomb blind can help soften brightness and provide privacy. And when the evening winds down, the same system can create a more cocooned, comfortable setting for rest.
The beauty of Luxaflex® VelaScreen® lies in its simplicity. Rather than layering separate products across a window or doorway, it brings insect protection and blockout shading together in one streamlined track.
The retractable insect screen allows you to welcome airflow while helping to keep insects out, making it ideal for warmer days, alfresco dining and entertaining into the evening. The blockout honeycomb blind gives you another layer of control, helping to manage light, privacy and comfort when you need the space to feel more enclosed.
This dual functionality is especially valuable in open-plan living areas, where one space may need to perform many roles across the day. A kitchen and dining area may feel bright and connected in the morning, open to the breeze in the afternoon, and private and settled by night. With Luxaflex® VelaScreen®, the transition feels effortless.
The Luxaflex® VelaScreen® range includes two options, each designed to suit different openings and living spaces.
This is a refined solution for windows and doors where a slim, minimalist design is essential. With its 30mm frame and single or dual configurations, it is well suited to a wide range of openings, including windows, standard doors and wider spans.
This option can accommodate widths up to 4 metres, or up to 6 metres in centre-closing configurations. This makes it a versatile choice for homeowners who want the flexibility of insect protection and blockout comfort while maintaining a clean, uninterrupted look.
Its continuous fabric design supports a sleek appearance, while adjustable handles allow the blind to be positioned with ease. The result is a system that feels practical in everyday use, yet quietly elegant within the home.
For very large openings, this option offers an elevated solution. Exclusive to Luxaflex®, it has been purpose-built for expansive bi-fold, stacker and French doors, with the ability to accommodate widths up to 6 metres.
This option features a robust track that allows the insect screen and honeycomb blind to operate independently. This gives you greater flexibility in how you use the space. You may want the screen closed while the blind remains open to preserve the breeze and view. Or you may choose to use the blockout blind in the evening for privacy, darkness and a more settled atmosphere.
Its low-profile design also helps keep doorways safe and accessible for children, pets and high-traffic areas, while allowing the system to integrate seamlessly with existing frames. When not in use, it stacks away discreetly, preserving the clean connection between indoors and outdoors.
Opening your home to the outdoors shouldn’t mean compromising on comfort, privacy or style. With Luxaflex® VelaScreen®, you can enjoy the best parts of warmer-weather living, from morning breezes to evening gatherings, with one elegant system designed to work beautifully across the day.
Whether you are refreshing a living area, enhancing a kitchen servery, or creating a seamless connection to an alfresco entertaining space, Luxaflex® VelaScreen® offers a sophisticated way to bring light, air and comfort into balance.
