FENETRE Systems — Insect Screen and Pleated Blind Systems

Insect Screen with Pleated Blind

Screen mesh on one line, pleated blind fabric on the other — two functions in one frame; no need to mount two separate products on the window.

What Is the Dual-Function System?

The pleated insect screen with blind is the dual-function system uniting screen and blind in one frame — a mesh holding pests out on one line, a pleated fabric managing light and privacy on the other.

The two layers move independently. While the screen side stays closed, the blind can gather open; both fold away to the edge entirely when needed.

One Frame Instead of Two Products

Mounting a screen and a blind separately on a window produces two casings, two rails and two mounting jobs — the dual-function frame reduces that load to a single installation.

It is an arrangement proven for years in the caravan and boat world; the same logic holds in homes on glass balconies and windows. One casing, two duties.

Layer Combination

The screen layer is fixed — the blind layer is chosen by need.

Questions About the Insect Screen with Pleated Blind

Do the screen and the blind open together?
No — the layers are independent. While the screen stays closed, the blind can gather fully; each layer works separately on its own line.
Which fabric comes on the blind side?
Sheer or blackout pleated fabric — sheer for daytime privacy and filtered light, blackout for night darkening.
Can it be applied to every window?
The joinery needs enough depth to carry two layers — on narrow-gap joinery a measurement verification is done in advance.
Can it be used as an insect screen only?
Yes. The blind layer can gather fully and stay passive — the system loses nothing of its insect-screen function.

The system architecture of the blind layer is on the pleated blind systems page; screen casing series are listed in the product catalogue. The openings where the combined system is used are described in the application areas.

Once net width-height and depth are relayed, that the two layers will fit is verified and a combination is recommended.
