# 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.

Layer options and functions of the insect screen with pleated blind
Layer — Material — Function
Insect Screen Layer — Pleated polyester mesh — Pest and insect protection
Sheer Layer — Pleated sheer fabric — Daytime privacy + filtered light
Blackout Layer — Blackout pleated fabric — Night darkening + extra insulation

## Standout Features

The aspects of the dual-function system that make a difference in a single frame.

- One Frame Two systems in a single frame — one measurement, one mounting, one look.
- Independent Layers Screen and blind move separately from each other.
- Day-Night Use Sheer or blackout blind layer — use at every hour of the day.
- Depth Saving No second casing or rail needed — one mounting allowance suffices.
- Proven Arrangement The residential form of a logic working for years in caravans and boats.
- Glass-Balcony Fit Can be installed behind folding glass — double function in one casing.

## 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](https://www.fenetresystems.com/en/pleated-blind-systems/); screen casing series are listed in the [product catalogue](https://www.fenetresystems.com/en/pleated-insect-screens/). The openings where the combined system is used are described in the [application areas](https://www.fenetresystems.com/en/pleated-insect-screen-application-areas/).

## Send Your Joinery Measurements

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