A permanently fitted insect screen is the simplest and most durable solution. Which system is right depends on the type of window or door and on your habits.<\/p>\n<h2>The main systems<\/h2>\n<h3>Fixed frame screens for windows<\/h3>\n<p>The classic: a lightweight aluminium frame with mesh is hooked or clipped into the window frame, usually without drilling. Fixed frame screens are inexpensive, discreet and can be taken out for the winter.<\/p>\n<h3>Hinged screens for balcony and patio doors<\/h3>\n<p>A hinged screen works like a small door: it opens outwards and closes by itself thanks to magnets. Ideal for doors you use often.<\/p>\n<h3>Sliding screens for large doors<\/h3>\n<p>For lift-and-slide and tilt-and-slide doors there are sliding screens that run on tracks parallel to the door \u2013 even for large widths. Read more about these doors in our article <a href=\"https:\/\/aristofenster.eu\/en\/lift-and-slide-vs-tilt-and-slide-doors\/\">lift-and-slide or tilt-and-slide doors<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Roller and pleated screens<\/h3>\n<p>A <strong>roller insect screen<\/strong> disappears into a cassette when not in use. With surface-mounted roller shutters it can also be integrated directly into the shutter box \u2013 see our overview of <a href=\"https:\/\/aristofenster.eu\/en\/roller-shutter-box-types\/\">roller shutter box types<\/a>. A <strong>pleated screen<\/strong> folds the mesh to the side, takes up hardly any space and needs only a very low bottom rail \u2013 practical for step-free thresholds.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large af-gfx\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/aristofenster.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/aristofenster-blog-insect-screen-systems-en.png\" alt=\"Table of insect screen systems for windows and doors\" width=\"1200\" height=\"622\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><figcaption>Five insect screen systems and where to use them.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"af-cta\" style=\"background:#073C61;color:#ffffff;padding:28px 32px;border-radius:6px;margin:36px 0;border-left:6px solid #FFCC00\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:21px;line-height:1.35;font-weight:700;color:#ffffff\">Made-to-measure insect screens<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 18px;color:#e6eef4\">We supply fixed frame, hinged, sliding, roller and pleated screens to fit your windows and doors.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aristofenster.eu\/en\/contact\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#FFCC00;color:#073C61;padding:13px 24px;font-weight:700;text-decoration:none;border-radius:4px;letter-spacing:.5px\">Get advice \u2192<\/a><\/div>\n<h2>The right mesh<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Standard mesh:<\/strong> fibreglass mesh in grey or black \u2013 robust and barely visible.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Transparent mesh:<\/strong> extra-fine threads for an almost unobstructed view.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pollen mesh:<\/strong> keeps out most pollen \u2013 a relief for allergy sufferers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pet mesh:<\/strong> tear-resistant against the claws of cats and dogs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Tips for measuring and fitting<\/h2>\n<p>Measure at several points, as window openings are rarely perfectly square.
