Screen door set into the frame
A surface-mounted fly screen is fitted in front of the door frame, on the frame itself or on the wall surrounding the doorway. This installation method is ideal when there is insufficient space available within the door frame or when obstacles, such as a large door handle or ventilation grille, make installation within the door reveal impossible. With a surface-mounted fly screen, you retain the full clear width of the doorway and benefit from a flexible installation solution suitable for a wide range of situations.
What is a surface-mounted fly screen?
With a screen door fitted to the door jamb, the frame is mounted in front of the door frame. Rather than being positioned between the jambs, the screen door effectively spans the doorway. This ensures that the full width of the doorway is retained.
This installation method is often chosen when the door frame is not completely straight, when there are protruding parts, or when installation within the door frame is not possible.
The advantages of a door-frame-mounted fly screen
A fly screen door mounted on the reveal offers several advantages over installation within the reveal.
Full passage width retained
As the fly screen door is fitted in front of the door frame, no space is lost in the doorway. This ensures maximum passage width and added convenience.
Ideal where there are obstacles around the frame
A surface-mounted fly screen door is the perfect solution where there are obstacles, such as a large door handle, a ventilation grille or other protruding parts. By fitting it in front of the door frame, these obstacles are easily accommodated.
Suitable for less straight door frames
When a door frame is not completely square or straight, surface-mounted installation often offers more options. This means a suitable fly screen door can be fitted even in tricky situations.
When should you choose a fly screen fitted to the reveal?
An internal-frame fly screen is often the best choice when fitting within the frame is not possible.
With a large door handle
Particularly with sliding doors and external doors featuring a protruding handle, fitting into the reveal provides sufficient space for the fly screen door to function properly.
Where there are obstacles in or around the frame
Ventilation grilles, cover caps or other protruding parts can also mean that surface-mounted installation is the most suitable solution.
When you want to retain the full width of the doorway
As the frame is fitted outside the door opening, the full passage width remains available.
Screen door on the reveal or in the reveal?
Are you unsure whether to choose a fly screen on the reveal or in the reveal? The right choice depends on the situation.
An in-frame fly screen is fitted between the door frame and the wall, creating a sleek, integrated look. An on-frame fly screen is fitted in front of the door frame and offers greater flexibility where space is limited or where there are obstacles.
In many situations, the window frame ultimately determines which installation method is most suitable.
Which fly screens can be fitted in the reveal?
Within the KeJe range, several fly screen doors are suitable for surface-mounted installation. Both the Original Pleated Fly Screen Door and the Splendid Pleated Fly Screen Door can be fitted in this way. The Original Pleated Insect Screen Door is known for its sleek design and reliable operation, whilst the Splendid Pleated Insect Screen Door stands out for its virtually silent operation thanks to its cord-tensioning system.
The Micro 13 Insect Screen and Midel 22 Insect Screen can also be fitted into the opening in many situations. This means there is almost always a suitable solution available, regardless of the available space or the presence of obstacles around the window frame.
