FENETRE Systems — Insect Screen and Pleated Blind Systems

Double Pleated Insect Screen

The double-sash arrangement where two panels work opposite each other and meet in the middle — the system's answer where one sash is not enough.

What Is the Double Arrangement?

The double pleated insect screen is the double-sash arrangement where two panels work opposite each other and meet in the middle of the opening — on wide doors and façades it overcomes the single sash's carrying limit by splitting it in two.

The sashes meeting in the middle close with a magnetic seal — no gap remains. Both panels open independently and passage is free from both directions.

Splitting the Load in Two

As a single sash grows, the mesh and profile weight multiplies — tension balance strains, pushing force rises. The double arrangement shares the load between two panels: same opening, half the load.

Partial opening is also an advantage — narrow passage can be made using only one panel; the full opening is freed only when needed.

Application Areas

From homes to industrial entrances — the wider the opening, the more the double stands out.

Standout Features

The aspects of the double-sash arrangement that make a difference on wide openings.

  • Double SashTwo panels meet in the middle — passage is free from both directions.
  • Magnetic JointMagnetic closure on the centre line — no gap remains in between.
  • Wide OpeningSplits the single-sash limit in two — covers metres of span.
  • Partial OpeningOne panel suffices on narrow passage; the full opening is freed only when needed.
  • Commercial UsePest control at warehouse and business entrances.
  • Level SensitivityOn large sizes mounting level is critical — the two sashes meet exactly in the middle.

Questions About the Double Pleated Insect Screen

How much width can be covered?
With two sashes, openings of several metres are covered — applications up to 6 m are seen in the industry. Height is limited by the mesh production limit of ~300 cm.
Does a gap remain in the middle?
No. The two sashes meet on the centre line with a magnetic seal and the joint closes airtight — no interval forms for pest passage.
Can it open from one side only?
Yes. The panels work independently — on narrow passage only one sash is used; the full opening is freed only when needed.
Why is mounting critical?
Level sensitivity rises as the size grows — the two sashes meeting exactly and parallel in the middle depends on mounting quality; professional installation is required.

The deep casing carrying wide openings is described on the 27 mm product page; the connection style is given on the installation types page. The wide openings where the double sash is preferred are listed in the application areas.
