Pleated retractable fly screens provide a horizontal insect screen for single and double door openings. The mesh folds into a compact stack at the side, leaving the doorway accessible when the screen is not in use.
Unlike a roller screen, which winds mesh around a tube, a pleated screen expands and contracts along its folds. The folding arrangement, guide system and available side clearance are important when choosing the correct screen size.
Available configurations: Horizontal pleated screens for single or double doors, with aluminum frames available in white, black, brown and bronze. Custom dimensions are available within the limits of the selected screen configuration.

Horizontal Opening and Pleated Mesh Storage
As the screen moves across the doorway, the pleated mesh extends to cover the opening. When the screen moves back, the folds gather toward the storage side. This creates a different storage arrangement from a conventional roller screen.
Simplified illustration of pleated screen movement; not a manufacturing drawing. Actual frame, guide and folding details vary by configuration.
The storage side and operating direction should suit the doorway layout. Because the folded mesh occupies part of the assembly width, the usable passage may be narrower than the total installed screen width.
Door Opening and Installation Requirements
The screen should be sized for the actual installation position rather than the nominal door dimensions alone. The surrounding frame, threshold and existing door hardware affect the available mounting space.
Opening Measurements
Measure the doorway width at the top, middle and bottom, and check the height at several points. Uneven openings may affect the finished frame size.
Side Clearance
Allow for the folded mesh stack and supporting profiles. The clear walking width may be smaller than the overall installed screen width.
Guides and Threshold
Check the lower guide arrangement against the existing threshold and floor level. The selected profile should suit the installation surface.
Door Hardware
Handles, locks and opening door panels need enough clearance to operate without interfering with the screen.
Installation detail: For a size assessment, provide the opening dimensions, preferred mounting position and a photograph or drawing of the doorway.
Frame Finish and Custom Order Options
The aluminum frame is offered in white, black, brown and bronze, allowing the screen finish to coordinate with different door frames.
For customized or bulk orders, specify the single- or double-door arrangement, finished dimensions, preferred frame color and quantity. Mesh material, operating components and packaging details can be discussed for the required configuration.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does a pleated retractable fly screen open?
It moves horizontally across the doorway. The pleated mesh expands when the screen is extended and folds together when the screen is retracted.
Can this model be used on double doors?
Yes. The product is offered in single- and double-door configurations. The meeting arrangement and installation space depend on the selected door layout.
Does the screen take up space when folded?
Yes. The mesh forms a folded stack at the side. This allowance should be considered when calculating the usable passage width.
