Insect Protection with the Detachable Pleated Screen
Living and working on a farm comes with its share of challenges. For this client, the biggest issue was constant flies. Her home, located on an exposed dairy farm, faced daily invasions of bugs, dirt, and wind. She needed an insect screen that could block pests, handle rural conditions, and still be simple to use. That’s where the Detachable Pleated Screen came in.
She wasn’t just after convenience—she needed a solution that worked. The screen had to protect against flies and midges, resist tough farm conditions, and be easy to operate and clean. It also had to be cost-effective and clearly visible when closed for peace of mind.
Installing a screen in such an exposed space wasn’t easy. The environment was full of dust and debris from livestock and unsealed roads. We needed a product that could hold up in the wind, clean easily, and stay effective over time.
We installed a Detachable Pleated Screen made from black mesh, featuring a fine 20 x 20 weave to block even the smallest bugs. Its polypropylene and polyethylene material resists UV up to 50+, making it ideal for outdoor use. The retractable design is easy to open and close, and the screen can be quickly removed or re-meshed as needed.
Its pleated design runs on a smooth track with magnetic locks, making it effortless to use. When not in use, it folds away neatly, keeping the look clean and modern. It offers strong bug protection, not just against flies, but all insects—keeping indoor spaces comfortable and bug-free.
Backed by a 3-year mesh warranty and a 5-year frame warranty, it’s a long-term solution the client can rely on. With low maintenance, durability, and ease of use, it was the perfect fit for her farm lifestyle.
If you live in a rural or high-insect area, a Detachable Pleated Screen could be exactly what your home needs. Reach out to us at Shadeland to learn more.
