Insect Screens: Roller, Pleated, Sliding and Fixed-Frame Systems Compared.
Compare roller, pleated, sliding and fixed-frame insect screens by opening type, operation pattern, frame position and specification data for windows, doors and terrace openings.
Insect Screen Systems
Advanced insect protection systems for outdoor spaces. Our aluminum-framed screens come in multiple configurations: roller, pleated, sliding, and zip screens. Each system provides effective mesh protection while maintaining ventilation and clear views of your outdoor environment.
Choose by opening type\n\nInsect screening should be specified around the opening, not only the product name. Width, sill detail, daily use, wind exposure, cleaning access and the desired outside view all affect the right system.\n\n## [Roller](/en/products/insect-screens/roller) insect screens\n\nRoller systems retract into a compact aluminium cassette when not in use. They suit windows and single doors where the screen is needed part of the time and a discreet closed position matters.\n\n## [Pleated](/en/products/insect-screens/pleated) and sliding systems\n\nPleated screens are useful for terrace doors and wider openings because the mesh folds to the side in a compact stack. Sliding screens run on guided tracks and suit openings that are used frequently. Final dimensions should be checked against frame depth, track position and the operation path.\n\n## Fixed-frame screens\n\nFixed frames are the simplest option for windows that need seasonal or continuous insect protection. They avoid daily operation and can be removed when access or seasonal storage is required.\n\n## Specification note\n\nFor a clean recommendation, PONARC needs opening dimensions, installation photos, frame colour, operation direction and any notes about pets or heavy use.
PONARC project note
For Insect Screens: Roller, Pleated, Sliding and Fixed-Frame Systems Compared, the useful specification route is to connect the idea to the real opening, substrate, exposure and intended use. PONARC treats the page as a decision aid: which system family fits, what must be checked, and which assumptions should stay project-specific rather than generic.
Next step
Send the relevant dimensions, photos of the installation area, location context, preferred finish and use case. PONARC can then map the request to the correct product family, technical checks and quotation path without adding unsupported performance claims.
