Roof Window Insect Screen
Insect screen on the roof window: a tensioned roller mesh on the horizontal plane; a pest barrier while the roof ventilates.
Roof Window Analysis
On the roof window the insect screen works only with the tensioned roller type: loose mesh sags completely on the horizontal plane — the system tensioned from both ends keeps the mesh flat. Pests stay outside while roof ventilation is open; motor or rod access is needed at the high position.
Horizontal
Mesh tensioned from both ends works flat horizontally.
Ventilation
The pest barrier is critical while the roof glazing is open.
Access
