Why do so many people choose a pleated screen door?

On warm days, there is nothing better than opening the door and enjoying a fresh breeze. Unfortunately, mosquitoes, flies and other insects are often just as eager to come inside. A pleated screen door provides a practical and stylish solution. It is therefore no surprise that this type of screen door has been one of the most popular choices for homes for many years.

But why do so many people specifically choose a pleated screen door? And which version is best suited to your home and personal preferences? In this article, we explain what a pleated screen door is, what benefits it offers and which KeJe solution best suits your situation.

• Direct answer
  A pleated screen door is an insect screen door with pleated mesh that slides smoothly open and closed. When the screen door is opened, the mesh folds into a compact section, meaning it takes up very little space. Thanks to its low bottom guide, ease of use and ability to remain in any desired position, a pleated screen door is a comfortable way to keep insects outside while allowing your home to ventilate properly.

What is a pleated screen door?

A pleated screen door is a sliding insect screen door with mesh folded into a concertina structure. Unlike a traditional hinged screen door, it does not swing inwards or outwards but slides smoothly to the side.

When you open the screen door, the pleated mesh folds neatly together. This keeps the doorway clear and allows the screen door to remain compact when it is not being used.

Why is a pleated screen door so popular?

More and more people choose a pleated screen door because it fits perfectly with the way we use our homes. We want to let fresh air inside without being bothered by insects, while also choosing solutions that are easy to use and complement both the interior and exterior of the home.

An important advantage is that a pleated screen door slides open and closed easily. There is no door panel that needs to swing open, and you can leave the screen door in exactly the position you prefer. This is ideal when you regularly walk in and out or have children or pets.

Which pleated screen door best suits your situation?

Every home and doorway is different. KeJe therefore offers several types of pleated screen doors designed for a wide range of situations.

The Original Pleated Screen Door: the trusted classic

The KeJe Original Pleated Screen Door is the model many people are already familiar with. This proven system has been popular for many years thanks to its straightforward operation, strong chain system and low bottom guide of only 3 mm.

The screen door can be installed either inside the opening, between the sides of the frame, or in front of the frame. When installed in front of the frame, a special mounting kit is included that allows the screen door to be fitted without drilling or screws.

Because the screen door remains in any desired position, it is ideal for everyday use. It is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a reliable, practical and user-friendly solution for keeping insects outside.

The Splendid Pleated Screen Door: greater comfort and larger dimensions

Are you looking for a pleated screen door for a large sliding patio door, or would you like additional comfort when opening and closing it? The KeJe Splendid Pleated Screen Door is an excellent option.
