Insect screens specified by opening type and daily use
The Filo range is organised around the way the opening is used: pleated screens for wide patio spans and roller cassette screens for windows or doors where the mesh should disappear when not needed.
Wide patio openings
Pleated screens are positioned for sliding doors, terrace openings and corner glazing where a conventional roller is too narrow or too rigid.
- Single or double configuration up to 6 m wide
- Accordion-fold polyester mesh
- No bottom rail option for clean transitions
Retractable window and door use
Roller cassette screens are explained as a compact daily-use option for bedrooms, windows, French doors and balcony doors.
- 45 or 55 mm aluminium cassette
- Spring-loaded retraction with lock base
- Tool-free mesh replacement
Mesh, frame and fit signals
Visible specification details help homeowners and dealers choose between airflow, pet-friendly durability and colour matching before a quote.
- Fiberglass, polyester or pet-friendly mesh options
- Powder-coated aluminium frame
- Any RAL colour for frame matching
PRODUCT ANSWERS
Practical answers for retractable insect screen selection
These answers help homeowners and dealers pick between pleated and roller insect screen systems.
When is a roller insect screen better?
Choose a roller cassette screen for windows, balcony doors and smaller daily-use openings where the mesh should retract cleanly into a compact aluminium housing.
Review frame references →What should be confirmed before ordering screens?
Confirm opening size, reveal depth, threshold condition, frame colour, mesh type, pet-resistance need and whether the screen must integrate with a pergola or sliding-door opening.
