Sliding Pleated Insect Screen
The door form where the panel glides on wheels over the bottom rail — slides both ways, locks at any point; the standard of balcony passage.
What Is the Sliding Form?
The sliding pleated insect screen is the door form where the panel glides on bearing wheels over the bottom rail — push the panel and the mesh folds to gather; the glide is friction-free and quiet.
Where it parts from the standard pleated is the carrying style — the load is on the wheels on the bottom rail, not on the top line; the panel weight slides over the rail and the pushing force stays minimal.
The Daily Reality of the Balcony
A balcony door is crossed dozens of times a day — stepped out carrying a tray, returned without tripping. The sliding form is built exactly for that scene: low rail, fluid panel, one-handed use.
The position lock fixes the panel at any point — half-gap ventilation or full passage; the panel stays where it is left.
Setup Arrangements
Three setup styles — opening width and passage arrangement make the choice.
| Arrangement | Operation | Suited Situation |
|---|---|---|
| Single Panel | One panel travels and gathers in a single direction | Standard balcony door |
| Double Panel | Two panels travel opposite each other | Wide terrace and veranda doors |
| Locked Stop | The panel is fixed at any point | Half-gap ventilation |
Standout Features
The aspects of the sliding form that make a difference at door passages.
- Bearing GlideThe nylon-bearing wheel slides with low pushing force.
- Low RailThe bottom line stays in the millimetre range — the trip share is low.
- Two-Way SlideThe panel travels in both directions — passage is made from either side.
- Position LockThe panel is fixed at the wanted point — half-gap ventilation is possible.
- The Balcony SpecialistThe most-installed pleated form on door passages.
- Long LifeThe load rides on the wheels — mesh and tension line do not wear.

For the low-rail need, the threshold-free form is examined; the connection style is settled on the installation types page. The doors and openings the sliding panel serves are shown in the application areas.
