A Modern Solution for Large Openings
Pleated Mosquito Screens
Pleated Mosquito Screens are a convenient and attractive solution for doors, terraces, balconies, panoramic windows, and large openings. The mesh folds to the side in an accordion-like manner, takes up minimal space, and allows free passage every day.
We manufacture pleated screens to custom dimensions and select the system for each specific opening: by size, profile color, mounting type, and opening direction. For reliable standard solutions, we use Aluprof components; for the premium segment, we offer Genius Italia systems; and when necessary, we can provide a more affordable practical option.
This screen protects the home from mosquitoes, flies, and other insects while maintaining fresh air, convenient passage, and a neat appearance for doors, balconies, or terraces.

For Large Windows, Terraces, and Panoramic Doors
Compact Pleated Mosquito Screen
This pleated mosquito system is designed for large window and door openings where a standard framed screen is inconvenient or insufficient in size. The mesh folds like an accordion and compactly gathers to the side, maintaining convenient passage and a neat appearance.
The system is suitable for panoramic windows, terrace doors, balcony exits, verandas, and sliding glass structures. The compact pleated screen can be configured as a single-sided or double-sided system—depending on the width of the opening and the preferred opening direction.
The mosquito screen is equipped with a magnetic strip for easier closing. Installation can be inside the opening or on the surface, so the system can be adapted to different types of properties.

What to consider when ordering a compact pleated screen?
The compact pleated mosquito screen is a pleated mosquito system for large window and door openings, balconies, terraces, panoramic doors, and yard exits. The mesh of this screen folds like an accordion and compactly gathers to the side, making the system convenient for daily passage and taking up minimal space when open.
To ensure the compact pleated screen operates smoothly, closes the opening tightly, and looks neat after installation, it is important to correctly specify the dimensions, mounting option, opening side, and opening features when ordering.
1. Measure the Width of the Opening
First, measure the total width of the opening that the mosquito screen should cover. It is best to take measurements in three places:
- at the top;
- in the middle;
- at the bottom.
If the values differ, record all dimensions. This is important because the opening may be slightly uneven, and for a pleated system, measurement accuracy affects the ease of opening and closing.
2. Measure the Height of the Opening
Then measure the height of the opening:
- on the left;
- on the right;
- in the center.
If the floor, ceiling, reveals, or frame have variations, this must be taken into account. Even a small difference in height can affect the installation of the guides and the movement of the mesh.
3. Choose the Mounting Type
The compact pleated screen can be installed in two ways.
Internal Mounting
The system is installed inside the opening. This is a neat option if there is enough space in the opening, the surfaces are level, and nothing obstructs the movement of the mesh.
Surface Mounting
The system is mounted on top of the opening. This option is suitable if there is insufficient space inside the opening, structural elements are in the way, or the screen needs to be installed outside/on top of the frame.
Before ordering, it is important to understand which mounting type suits your specific opening. If in doubt, it is best to send photos of the installation location.
4. Choose the System Version
The compact pleated screen can be single-sided or double-sided.
Single-Sided Opening
The mesh slides to one side and gathers at the side. This option is suitable for balcony doors, large window openings, single exits to the terrace or yard.
Double-Sided Opening
The system consists of two parts that typically meet in the center. This option is chosen for wider openings, panoramic doors, and terraces where a convenient wide passage is needed.
5. Determine the Opening Side
If a single-sided system is chosen, you need to specify where the mesh will gather:
- to the left;
- to the right.
This is important for the correct positioning of the profiles, magnetic part, and direction of screen movement.
If a double-sided system is chosen, you need to specify that the meshes should open from both sides and meet in the center.
6. Check the Space for Folding the Mesh
The pleated mesh folds like an accordion and gathers to the side. Therefore, before ordering, you need to check whether there is sufficient space for the folded screen.
Pay attention to:
- door and window handles;
- protruding reveals;
- thresholds;
- sliding door guides;
- roller shutters;
- facade elements;
- furniture or objects near the opening.
If something is located close to the installation site, it is best to show it in a photo.
7. Choose the Profile Color
The profile color is selected to match the window, door, facade, or terrace system. When ordering, you need to specify the desired color.
Standard colors and RAL catalog painting are available. It is important to note that the shade on the screen may differ from the actual profile color, so for accurate selection, it is best to refer to a physical sample or RAL fan deck.
8. Clarify Additional Elements
Depending on the mounting type and opening features, an auxiliary corner or additional mounting elements may be required.
This is especially important if:
- the opening is uneven;
- there is no convenient surface for mounting;
- the system is installed on top of the opening;
- there are reveals, roller shutters, or a non-standard frame nearby;
- a technical gap needs to be neatly covered.
9. Prepare Photos of the Opening
For an accurate calculation and selection of a compact pleated screen, it is advisable to send photos of the installation location.
It is best to prepare:
- a general view of the opening;
- a photo of the left side;
- a photo of the right side;
- a photo of the top;
- a photo of the bottom;
- a photo of the threshold;
- a photo of handles and protruding elements;
- a photo from outside and inside, if possible.
Photos help to understand in advance which mounting option is best to choose and whether anything will obstruct the movement of the mesh.
What to specify when ordering a compact pleated screen
To place an order, prepare:
✓ opening width;
✓ opening height;
✓ mounting type: internal or surface;
✓ system version: single-sided or double-sided;
✓ opening side for single-sided version;
✓ profile color;
✓ whether there is space for folding the mesh;
✓ whether there are handles, thresholds, roller shutters, or protruding elements;
✓ whether additional mounting elements are needed;
✓ photos of the installation location.
Important
The compact pleated screen is suitable for large window and door openings where a compact and convenient mosquito system is needed. The main feature of this system is the pleated mesh that gathers to the side and does not require space for swing opening.
To ensure the screen works correctly, do not order it based on approximate dimensions alone. It is best to check the width, height, mounting type, opening side, and opening features in advance. This will help avoid errors during production and installation.

What to consider when ordering a reinforced pleated screen?
The reinforced pleated mosquito system is for large panoramic openings, terraces, facade glazing, and wide yard exits. To ensure the system operates smoothly and reliably, it is important to correctly specify the dimensions, opening option, color, and mounting features when ordering.
1. Measure the Width of the Opening
Measure the total width of the opening that the mosquito screen should cover. It is best to take measurements in three places: at the top, in the middle, and at the bottom.
If the values differ, record all dimensions and report this when ordering. For large openings, this is especially important because even a slight unevenness can affect the installation and operation of the system.
2. Measure the Height of the Opening
Measure the opening height on the left, right, and center. For a reinforced pleated screen, height is very important, as the system is used on large door and window structures.
If the floor, ceiling, or side parts of the opening are uneven, this must be taken into account in advance.
3. Choose the System Option
The reinforced pleated screen can be configured in several options:
Single-Sided System — 1L / 1R
The mesh slides to one side. Suitable if the passage opens from left to right or from right to left.
Double-Sided System — 2C
Two parts of the system meet in the center. This option is convenient for wide openings, terraces, and panoramic doors.
Double Opening — 1D
An option for situations where a more flexible opening scheme is required.
Corner System
Used for complex architectural openings and corner glazing.
4. Determine the Opening Side
If a single-sided system is chosen, you need to specify where the screen will gather:
- to the left;
- to the right.
For a double-sided system, you need to specify that the meshes should meet in the center.
For a corner solution, it is advisable to provide a diagram or photos of the opening to correctly determine the direction of mesh movement.
5. Check Whether a Reinforcing Profile Is Needed
This is a reinforced system, but for large sizes, an additional reinforcing profile may be required. This is especially important for wide openings.
If the system width exceeds 270 cm, it is recommended to consider additional reinforcement. It helps increase the stability of the structure and maintain stable screen operation with daily use.
6. Choose the Profile Color
For the reinforced pleated screen, standard colors, wood-finish colors, and RAL catalog painting are available.
When ordering, you need to specify:
- standard color;
- wood-finish color;
- black color;
- custom RAL color, if a non-standard shade is needed.
The color is best matched to the window frame, door profile, facade, or terrace system.
7. Check the Installation Location
Before ordering, it is important to check:
- whether there is a level surface for mounting;
- whether handles, reveals, thresholds, or guides are in the way;
- whether there is enough space for folding the mesh;
- whether there are obstacles on the side of the opening;
- whether the system can be installed in the chosen opening scheme.
For the reinforced pleated screen, this is especially important because the system is often used on large panoramic structures.
8. Prepare Photos
For accurate system selection, it is advisable to send:
- a general view of the opening;
- a photo of the opening on the left and right;
- a photo of the top;
- a photo of the bottom;
- a photo of the threshold;
- a photo of handles, guides, and other protruding elements;
- a photo of the facade or terrace, if the installation is non-standard.
What to specify when ordering a reinforced pleated screen
To place an order, prepare:
✓ opening width;
✓ opening height;
✓ system option: 1L, 1R, 1D, 2C, or corner;
✓ opening side;
✓ profile color;
✓ whether RAL color or wood-finish coating is needed;
✓ whether reinforcement is necessary;
✓ opening features;
✓ photos of the installation location;
✓ desired mounting option.
Important
The reinforced pleated screen is chosen for large openings where stability, smooth movement, and convenient daily use are important. If the opening is very wide, it is best not to select the system based on approximate dimensions alone. Accurate measurement and photos will help correctly determine the configuration, opening direction, and need for reinforcement.
