The most wind-resistant model in the range against gust pressure and fast passage.

The system ships with its tension and channel adjustment done. In a classic pleated screen the mesh runs freely along the bottom rail and can leave the rail in harsh weather. In this series the mesh’s lower end locks into the channel — neither wind nor passage can move it. ### Technical Specifications 26 mm Pleated Insect Screen build specifications Material - Profile 26 mm frame profile: Aluminium - Mesh Pleated polyester mesh: Pleated Polyester - Rail Bottom channel profile: Channelled Rail Mounting - Mounting Channel + frame screws: Frame Screwed Use - Control Stays fixed at its position: Push by Hand Compatibility - Compatibility Windy doors and openings: Door · Window Mounted [screwed](https://www.fenetresystems.com/en/pleated-insect-screen-installation-types/) to the frame face; the bottom channel seats on the floor line. The channel profile is low-section and forms no trip edge at the passage. The channel’s sealing work depends on floor flatness — on sloped or stepped floors a levelling plan is made at the measuring stage. - The clear opening measurement — width and height — is noted in centimetres. - Floor flatness and any slope are noted; the channel locks onto a straight line. - The facade’s wind exposure and the gathering direction are added. Floor information is mandatory on the channelled series. Sloped or stepped floors are sent together with a photo. ## What the channel changes On a free rail the mesh is guided along the bottom line but does not grip. Wind pressure pushes the mesh off the rail — the panel opens, insects pass, and the mesh fold deforms. The channel locks that movement. The mesh’s lower end travels inside the channel; even under pressure it cannot separate from the rail at right angles. Along the closing line no gap remains either. ## The thick-series section This series sits in the thick-profile class: the frame depth works at 26 mm and the front-face width around 40 mm. The body carries both the door load and the channel component together. The tabbed frame-sash geometry locks the mesh to the body; on the closing line, a magnet and a seal complete the airtightness the channel brings. ## Who it makes a difference for Sea-facing terraces, upper-floor balconies, openings in wind corridors and restaurant gardens are this series’ work. Anyone who keeps putting a displaced mesh back knows what the channel is worth. In a still inner courtyard or a sheltered window the channel’s advantage is not felt — there the 18–25 mm series are enough. The channel is a prescription written for a facade with a problem. ## Questions About 26 mm Pleated Insect Screen How does the channel hold the mesh? The mesh’s lower end is guided inside the channel profile. Under wind pressure or an impact, the mesh cannot separate perpendicular to the rail — the series takes its name from this layout. What is the difference between 26 mm and 25 mm? Not 1 mm — the channel. The 25 mm is the free-rail door series; the 26 mm is channelled and keeps the mesh in the rail in wind. Does it form an obstacle at the passage? The channel profile is low-section and does not rise underfoot. Where fully barrier-free passage is required, the threshold-free railed 25 mm layout is considered instead. ## Other Pleated Insect Screens Models 26 mm Pleated Insect Screen is built around channel-locked mesh, wind resistance, high seal. The remaining 4 models in the Pleated Insect Screens range are listed.
