Sliding Insect Screens

Accessories · Insect Screens

A patio door is the hardest opening to screen: it is wide, it is used all day, and there is rarely a wall to hinge anything on. These nine systems slide, pleat or roll out of the way instead — some on a rail only five millimetres proud of the floor.

The specification

Three ways to get a screen out of the way

Sliding

the leaf runs on rails top and bottom, like the patio door beside it the Slider and Jolly rails sit almost flat on the floor, so there is nothing to trip on the MRP is the only bypassing system — two leaves pass each other on a twin rail brush seals on every edge and, on most systems, a magnetic closing strip

Pleated

the mesh folds into a concertina and disappears into a slim side profile MPH Harmony takes a sash up to 4 m; the Dual version pairs two leaves meeting in the middle MPH Verti stacks downward instead of sideways, for openings with no wall to stack against a corner screen can be made without a post where two runs meet

Fitting

fitted onto the frame or into the reveal, whichever the opening allows runs over 10 m² are built with reinforced profiles specialist meshes — anti-pollen, anti-smog, pet-resistant, high transparency — fit any of these systems grease the runners twice a year and a sliding screen will outlast the summer furniture

The systems

Nine systems for wide openings

Sliding leaves, pleated concertinas and spring roll-ups. Width, threshold height and whether the opening has a wall beside it decide which one fits.

Sliding Screen

The standard sliding screen: parallel rails top and bottom, screwed to the window frame. Made for lift-and-slide and tilt-and-slide patio doors, in one or two leaves.

MPH Harmony

A pleated screen: the mesh folds like a concertina into a slim side profile, so the open screen takes up almost no width. The threshold rail is low enough to walk over.

Slider

Runs on a rail that can sit flat on the floor, so it suits a threshold-free patio door. Brush seals on all four sides and an aluminium-clad corner keep a large leaf rigid.

Fit-Zag

For a wide reveal, fitted in it or onto it. There is no handle — the closing profile has a groove to pull on and a magnet to hold it shut, so nothing sticks out into the opening.

Top-Zag

The same arrangement built for very large openings — a pair closing on each other covers up to four metres, and a corner window can be screened without a centre post.

Jolly

A roll-up screen that slides: the mesh winds onto a spring roller in the side profile and a full-height handle lets it be opened from either side. The floor rail is only 5 mm high.
