Pleated Insect Screen Systems

Bellows-folded mesh, a mechanism-free rail — the technical answer to wide openings and heavy passage.

Pleated Insect Screen Components

Casing, mesh, tension and rail — four components, eight models.

15/18 mm slim and 25–27 mm standard series — selected by mounting depth and opening width.

Polyester or fiberglass, typically 85 g/m² with an 18×16 weave. Gathers by folding in accordion form.

Vectran or polyester cords keep the mesh taut — prevent sagging and keep the fold uniform.

14–18 mm sliding handle, threshold profile and magnetic or mechanical lock — passage comfort is chosen in this component.

The same casing and mesh architecture — mounting direction and rail type determine the model.

Usage style and suitable space matching of pleated insect screen models
Model	Usage Style	Suitable Space
Horizontal	Standard horizontal	Doors and windows
Recess-Mounted	Mounted inside the joinery	Minimal look, joinery with shutters
Surface-Mounted	Onto the outer face	Depthless joinery, façade cheeks
Sliding	Panel travelling on the bottom rail	Balcony doors — the most preferred
Threshold-Free	7 mm ultra-low rail	Wheelchair and pram passage
Double	Two sashes meeting in the middle	Wide openings
Vertical	Folds bottom-up	Windows that need no rail
With Pleated Blind	Two functions in one casing	Insect screen + blind combination

Passage comfort is chosen by the rail’s height on the floor — three threshold types, three scenarios.

For passages with a door sill or marble on the floor.

The middle solution preventing trips on flat floors.

Barrier-free passage — the claim of the premium segment.

Does the pleated insect screen have a mechanism?

It needs no spring or reel mechanism — the mesh stays wherever it is left. This is the least-wearing, longest-lasting working style of the system.

What is the widest opening limit?

The pleated mesh production limit is ~300 cm height. Wide openings are covered with the double (two-sash) model.

How is the corner joint made?

90° joining or 45° mitre cut. The mitre cut gives a single-piece look and is preferred in the upper segment.

How is the knock-down kit installed?

Profiles are framed, corner keys and tension cords fitted. Tension is adjusted with an Allen key and the frame is fixed to the joinery or wall.

The application conditions of threshold types and casing-depth selection are described on the Pleated Insect Screen Installation Types page; the spaces where the models work are shown in the application areas and the measurement-based range is given in the price calculator.

Once the passage type and opening measurements are relayed, casing and threshold selection is recommended.
