A roller insect screen is a system in which the mesh is wound around a spring-loaded tube inside a cassette fitted at the top of the window. When you pull the handle down, the mesh slides down in side guides and locks at the bottom; when you release the lock, the spring winds it back into the cassette in a controlled way.
Where Is It Used?
It is ideal for those who want a screen only in summer and prefer a fully clear window in winter. It is often chosen for windows with a view, holiday homes and upper windows of shop fronts. In homes with a view in Göcek and Dalyan, rolling the screen into the cassette in winter leaves the view completely open.
Advantages
- Completely hidden when not in use.
- Mesh is protected in the cassette and less affected by sun and dust.
- Easy opening and closing with a spring mechanism.
- Side guides keep the mesh in place in the wind.
- Elegant design that does not spoil the window’s look.
Sizes and Installation
Roller screens are usually made vertically up to 160 cm wide and 200 cm high; horizontally operating roller models are also available for doors. They can be mounted on the inside or outside of the window frame or within the wall opening. About 4–5 cm of space is needed at the top for the cassette; on windows with a shutter box this is checked during the survey.
Care
Letting the mesh roll back in a controlled way extends the life of the spring mechanism; it should never be allowed to snap back. The inside of the side guides should be cleaned from time to time. If spring tension weakens over time, our service team can adjust it. In homes with pets, a hinged screen with pet mesh is a more durable choice than a roller screen.
Who Is It For?
For users who open and close the window often, want to use the screen only in the evening and do not want an extra sash in front of the window, a roller screen is the most elegant choice. On high floors with very strong winds, a hinged system may be a sturdier alternative.
With a free survey and measurement we assess on site whether a roller screen can be fitted to your window.
