Begin with the door or window.
A screen needs to suit the actual opening and its operating arrangement. Include the window or door system, frame dimensions, opening direction and available mounting space in your enquiry. Photographs are useful for an existing installation.
Pleated insect screens were included in the previous Aluminc catalogue. Confirm the current compatible screen and available configuration with our team. Do not assume a screen for one frame will fit another.
Check passage and the sill.
Review where the screen gathers when open and where the handle can be reached. For a wide door, compare the screen’s travel with the usable passage and the way people move between the room and terrace.
Coordinate the screen track with the door threshold, drainage and finished floor levels. Ask for the actual detail rather than assuming a flush appearance means there is no change in level.
Plan care and everyday use.
Follow the selected manufacturer’s cleaning and operating instructions. Keep the track clear and report damage or difficult operation before forcing the mechanism. Ask how the mesh and moving parts can be serviced.
An insect screen is not a security barrier or a guard against falls. Keep the separate safety and access requirements for the opening in the project review.
Prepare a useful screen enquiry.
- System name or order reference for the door/window
- Frame and clear-opening dimensions
- Photographs of the sill, jambs and available mounting area
- Preferred direction of operation and any access needs
Explore sliding-door layouts and folding-door layouts together with the screen. Ask about compatibility before approving the final arrangement.
