# 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](https://www.fenetresystems.com/en/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.
