# 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.

Application areas and typical openings of the double pleated insect screen
Area — Typical Place — Opening Class
Residential — Veranda, wide balcony, terrace door — 2–3 m openings
Commercial — Restaurant garden, café and shop entrance — Dense passage + wide span
Industrial — Pest control at warehouse and production entrances — Openings exceeding several metres

## Standout Features

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

- Double Sash Two panels meet in the middle — passage is free from both directions.
- Magnetic Joint Magnetic closure on the centre line — no gap remains in between.
- Wide Opening Splits the single-sash limit in two — covers metres of span.
- Partial Opening One panel suffices on narrow passage; the full opening is freed only when needed.
- Commercial Use Pest control at warehouse and business entrances.
- Level Sensitivity On 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.
