Insect Screen Systems
From mesh to profile, corner to gasket — an insect screen is not just a frame; it is a system that works through its components.
Insect Screen Components
All nine insect screen models are different arrangements of the same four components — mesh, profile, connectors and sealing.
Mesh
Fiberglass (18×16 mesh) is the standard; PetScreen for pets, Poll-tex for pollen, stainless steel for security and moisture resistance.
Aluminium Profile
6063-alloy profile series. White, brown, anthracite, anodised — plus custom colours from the RAL chart.
Corners and Connectors
Corner keys, handles and connecting elements. They keep the frame square and the mesh tensioned.
Gasket and Brush
The sealing component closing the micro gap between frame and joinery — brings insect entry down to zero.
Insect Screen Models in the System
Nine different working styles of the same components. Where it is mounted and how it opens determines the model.
| Model | Working Style | Ideal Use |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed | Removable frame | Windows, seldom-opened openings |
| Hinged | Hinged sash | Doors, frequent passage, outward-opening windows |
| Roller | Spring-gathered mesh | Windows wanting a minimal look |
| Sliding | Panel sliding on a rail | Sliding rails and glass balconies |
| Cat Screen | Framed, pet screen mesh | Homes with pets |
| Caravan Insect Screen | Framed compact | Caravan and mobile doors |
| Steel Insect Screen | Stainless steel weave | Ground floor, security and durability |
| Recess-Mounted | Sits inside the joinery | Windows with exterior shutters or railings |
| Surface-Mounted | Mounted to the outer face | Joinery with no inner depth |
| Motorised | Remote-controlled opening | High and hard-to-reach openings |
Mesh Types
- Fiberglass — the residential standard. Flexible, UV-resistant, the highest view clarity
