KeJe screen doors for French doors

Which screen door suits your French doors?

French doors provide a nice, wide passage to your garden or terrace. At the same time, you want to prevent insects from entering when the doors are open. Not every insect screen door is suitable for French doors. The width of the opening, the type of frame, the desired way of mounting and the way you use the screen doors play an important role in making the right choice. By taking this into account in advance, you choose a solution that not only fits well, but also works pleasantly in daily use.

There is a suitable screen door for almost every situation. Below you can read which solutions are most suitable for French doors.

Pleated screen door: the most popular solution

The pleated screen door is the most commonly chosen screen door for French doors. This type of screen door consists of folded gauze that opens and closes smoothly and stays in any position.

A major advantage is that you can easily apply the screen door across the entire width. Double doors often use two screen doors that close towards each other. This creates a user-friendly solution for wide passages.

Our KeJe pleated screen doors are:

• Noiseless in use
• Suitable for intensive opening and closing
• Suitable for almost any window frame
• Available in several standard and RAL colours
• Can be fitted both inside and outside
• Can be installed without drilling or screws

The Original pleated screen door is by far the most popular solution. Known for its simplicity, sleek appearance and reliable operation, this door is a well-known and widely used door all over the world only we at KeJe have not yet managed to optimise this screen door a little more to the needs of Dutch, Belgian and German consumers.

The Splendid pleated screen door is an alternative and a completely separate product from KeJe. The screen door opens and closes smoothly and quietly, providing extra comfort in daily use. In addition, this screen door can often be fitted without drilling or screws.

Screen door for double patio doors

With double French doors you want the entire opening to remain usable. This is why a double pleated screen door is often chosen.

With two screen doors that close in the middle:

• you maintain a wide passage
• both sides can be used independently
• the screen door remains flexible in daily use
• indoor or outdoor installation is still possible

Depending on the situation, customisation is possible for larger widths so that the screen door always fits your doors properly. In addition, the screen door is always available in a different RAL colour. This makes it as inconspicuous as possible when you don't use it and therefore don't want to see it.

Screen door with little space around the door

Do you have little space between the frame and a roller shutter or screen, for example? In these situations, narrower pleated screen doors such as the Micro 13 or Midel 22 are very suitable. Specially developed for situations with limited mounting space, these systems remain easy to operate and, thanks to their narrow profile, are very flexible in use and the ideal solution for awkward situations. Because of their narrow design, they can sometimes appear a little less robust and the mesh package is also a little more in sight.

Fixed screen door alternative to single door

In some situations, a fixed screen door can be a good choice, for example when using one door as a wicket door.

A fixed screen door:

• has a sturdy frame
• is suitable for intensive use
• can be fitted with a kick plate

This makes it particularly suitable for households with children or pets.

Insect protection for any type of frame

KeJe screen doors for French doors are suitable for almost any type of window frame:

• Plastic window frames - can often be fitted without drilling
• Wooden window frames - flexible in mounting
• Aluminium window frames - clean and modern finish, also without drilling and screwing

In addition, the screen doors are available in various standard RAL colours, but can also be powder-coated in any non-standard colour so that they always match the frame and the look of your home.

Why choose a made-to-measure screen door?

French doors require custom-made insect screens. Standard solutions often do not fit properly, allowing insects to enter.

That is why all KeJe screen doors are made to measure. So you benefit from:

• a perfect fit to your window frame
• optimal operation and ease of use

What should you pay attention to when choosing a screen door?

Now that we have already discussed many important parts, we would like to summarise this. So when choosing a screen door for French doors, it is important to consider:

• The total width of the opening
• Will it be single or double doors?
• Required mounting (inside, outside, in the day, on the day)
• What kind of frame is involved?
• Intensity of use
• Presence of pets or children

By taking these factors into account, you will choose a screen door that not only fits well, but also works pleasantly in practice.
