# 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](https://www.fenetresystems.com/en/roller-insect-screen/): 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

Motor or rod is needed at the high position.
