A glass balcony insect screen is a special screen solution fitted to the inside or outside of folding or sliding glass balcony systems that can close wide openings without interruption. When you fully open the glass panels on a summer evening, the balcony instantly becomes an outdoor space, and the screen protects that opening from insects.

Where Is It Used?

Apartments with glass balconies, enclosed terraces, winter gardens and glass partitions of cafés and restaurants are the main applications. In homes near the lakeshore in Dalyan and Köyceğiz and on balconies facing Ortaca’s farmland, it stops summer evenings being spent indoors because of mosquitoes.

System Options

Pleated glass balcony screen: single or double leaf for wide openings with a low bottom track; the most popular solution.
Sliding glass balcony screen: sashes sliding on a separate track parallel to the glass balcony track.
Fixed sections: fixed screens for side sections that never open.

Advantages

Insect protection even when the glass balcony is fully open.
Closes wide openings without interruption.
Mesh folds away when not in use.
Matches the glass balcony profile colour.
Can be added to an existing glass balcony.

Sizes and Installation

The size is determined by the top and bottom track positions, ceiling and balustrade details of the glass balcony. It is usually mounted on the inner side, in line with the glass panels but without obstructing their movement. On very wide balconies the opening is divided into several pleated modules with fixed posts between them. Installation is possible without removing the existing glass balcony.

Care

Regularly cleaning dust and leaves from the bottom track and checking the tension cords once a year is recommended. If the pleated mesh wears over time, only the mesh is replaced and the frame is kept. Keeping the screen closed on windy days avoids unnecessary strain on the mesh and cords. With a free survey and measurement we plan the best screen layout for your glass balcony on site.

Frequently asked questions

A pleated screen opens and folds sideways thanks to its accordion-like mesh; it suits wide balcony and terrace doors and is almost invisible when not in use. A hinged screen is a framed leaf that opens and closes like a door; with spring hinges it can close by itself and is more durable on frequently used kitchen or garden doors. For windows, hinged or fixed screens are usually preferred. During the survey we recommend the most suitable model based on opening direction and frequency of use.

A pet screen uses a special mesh with thicker fibres and a tighter weave that resists pets’ claws much better. Normal mesh tears quickly when a cat or dog climbs it, while pet mesh withstands this strain for much longer. It is usually used on garden doors and lower window sections that pets can reach. If needed, an extra protective panel can be added to the lower part of a door screen. It looks slightly darker and more visible than normal mesh.

Yes. If the screen’s frame, hinges and mechanism are sound, only the mesh can be replaced. This is more economical than renewing the whole screen. For pleated screens, the mesh and cords work as a unit, so replacement is assessed according to the condition of the mechanism. We sometimes replace mesh on site and sometimes take the screen to the workshop. During the visit we check the frame and tell you honestly whether repair or renewal makes more sense. If you have pets, you can also choose pet mesh when replacing it.

Not with the right model. On inward-opening uPVC windows the screen is fitted outside or onto the frame, so you can open and close the sash freely. For outward-opening or sliding windows, a pleated, sliding or hinged screen is chosen according to how the sash moves. Details such as the handle, shutter box and sill are checked during the survey. The aim is that you can use the window for ventilation and cleaning without problems while the screen is fitted. If needed, the hinge side of the screen is also set according to the sash opening direction.

Usually not. Pleated and sliding screens can be folded away when not in use, so they can stay in place all year. Hinged and fixed screens can also remain fitted in winter; however, on facades very close to the sea or exposed to strong winds, removing and storing them if they will not be used all winter can extend their life. In either case, cleaning the mesh with a soft brush and water once or twice a year and keeping tracks and hinges free of dust is enough maintenance.
