FENETRE Systems — Insect Screen and Pleated Blind Systems

Attic Insect Screen

Insect screen in the attic: a tensioned roller on the sloped roof window; normal-type solutions on the vertical mansard.

Attic Analysis

In the attic the insect screen is chosen by the plane distinction: loose mesh sags on the sloped roof window — the tensioned roller insect screen works flat inside the channel; the normal type (hinged/roller) applies on the vertical mansard window. The barrier is critical because roof ventilation is heavy.

Slope

On sloped glazing the tensioned roller works flat inside the channel.

Mansard

Normal type selection applies on the vertical window.

Density

Roof ventilation is heavy; the barrier is critical.

The plane distinction under the roof

There are two glazing types in the attic: the sloped roof window and the vertical mansard. The tensioned roller works flat on the slope; the normal type applies on the vertical.

Roof ventilation is heavy — the barrier is critical here.
