The original pleated insect screen door as a stylish solution for fresh air without insects

Apr 15, 2026

Fresh air in the house is nice, especially in spring and summer. But as soon as the door is open, insects easily get inside. A good insect screen door offers the solution. More and more people choose a pleated screen door. As a result, the Original Keye pleated screen door is also becoming an increasingly popular choice. This type of screen door is not only practical to use, but also looks sleek and modern. In this blog, you can read what a pleated screen door is and why the KeJe Original Plissé screen door is a smart choice for anyone looking for a screen door.

What is a pleated screen door?

A pleated screen door is a screen door with a pleated mesh that opens and closes like a harmonica. Instead of a door turning, you simply slide this screen door to the side. The mesh folds up compactly when the door is closed. As a result, the screen door takes up little space and the passageway remains free.

Why choose a pleated screen door?

Space-saving and practical

A pleated screen door is easy to open and close. As the system moves sideways, you do not need a turning circle. This makes the screen door ideal for places where space is limited.

Sleek and modern look

The design is minimalistic. The pull strips are subtly incorporated and there is no need for a separate handle. This makes the screen door barely noticeable and you don't have to compromise on the look of your interior.

Smooth and silent in use

Thanks to the chain system, the insect screen door opens and closes smoothly. This provides extra comfort, especially when the screen door is placed indoors.

For which situations is a pleated screen door suitable?

Split screen door for single doors

The pleated screen door is often used for a single back door or garden door. The system is easy to use and suitable for daily opening and closing.

Screens for double doors

Would you like a screen door for French doors? Then a pleated screen door is also a good solution. For wider passages, you can choose a double screen door so that both sides remain easily accessible.

Screen door for sliding patio doors

A pleated screen door also works well as a sliding door screen door. The screen door can be placed both on the inside and on the outside. This means there is always a suitable solution, even for larger openings.
