Which screen door best suits your situation?

What is a screen door and why do you need one?

A screen door is a door with fine mesh that prevents insects such as mosquitoes, flies and wasps from entering your home. At the same time, a screen door allows fresh air to simply enter. This is ideal for the warm months when you like to open doors without being bothered by pesky critters.

There are different types of screen doors, each with their own advantages. In this article, we compare the KeJe pleated screen doors with the KeJe fixed screen doors so that you can make the best choice for your situation.

What are the advantages of a pleated screen door?

The KeJe original pleated screen door is a sturdy and robust screen door. It is one of our customers' favourite products, and for good reason. The frame of the screen door is available in 5 RAL colours as standard, but any RAL colour is possible for an additional charge. This ensures that the pleated screen door always matches your window frame. Various bottom guides are available, making this screen door also suitable for double doors, sliding doors and outdoor installation.

The KeJe original pleated screen door has a number of unique features that make it ideal for everyday use:

• Flexible to use: A pleated screen door easily slides open and closed without automatically springing back like a spring system.
• Space-saving design: The pleated structure allows the mesh to fold up compactly, so you don't need extra space.
• Suitable for large doorways: Ideal for sliding doors or double doors.
• Durable and sturdy: The pleated mesh is stronger than traditional mosquito netting and can withstand a lot.
• Mounting with or without drilling and screws: Depending on the situation, it is possible to choose mounting without drilling and screws.

Silent screen door or roller shutter for your door?

In addition to the KeJe Original Hordeur, KeJe also has a noiseless screen door in its range. Many specifications are the same only the big difference is that the Splendid screen door works by cord tension and the Original screen door by chain. These two screen doors are the most favourite and chosen screen doors.

In addition, KeJe also has screen doors in its range which are the perfect solution with roller shutters in front of the door. Due to a roller shutter there is often limited space for a screen door, which is why KeJe also offers two very narrow screen doors. In such a situation it is best to choose the Hordeurd Micro or Midel.

When to choose a fixed screen door?

A fixed screen door is a stable and sturdy solution, perfect for situations where you need a robust and permanent insect protection in a wicket door. The fixed screen door can only be placed in a doorway and is not suitable for a sliding door or double French doors. The maximum dimensions of a fixed screen door are 1300 x 2500 mm. Advantages of the KeJe fixed screen door include:

• Solid construction: The screen door has an aluminium frame, which ensures a solid and reliable seal.
• Permanent protection: As the screen door is permanently mounted, it is always ready for use and offers continuous protection against insects.
• Suitable for intensive use: Ideal for households where the door opens and closes frequently.
• High level of customisation: The fixed screen door is fully custom-made and therefore fits perfectly into the door frame.
• Pet screen door: Due to the option of adding a kick plate, this screen door is often chosen in households with pets.
