History
13 years ago when looking to screen my Queenslander home with retractable screens I realised the product was very hard to find and costs were extremely high because there were only few manufacturers with many middle men, each adding their own commission for moving the product around. I had been in the retractable screen business overseas for many years and with my product knowledge and manufacturers contacts I saw the opportunity to produce and sell directly to customers without middle man at a fraction of the price.
