Monarch range of pleated retractable insect screens from National Screens
The Monarch range of pleated retractable insect screens, available from National Screens , are manufactured using a pleated polyester insect mesh that is considered to be more durable than fibreglass mesh.
Many of the features of National Screens’ screen are not possible using conventional flat mesh retractable screens.
The Monarch range of pleated retractable insect screens, look more like an up-market blind than an insect screen, the mesh is attractive and does not impede the view.
Yet when people get close to the door opening the screen is more visible than flat mesh screens, reducing the incidence of people and animals walking into the screen.
Monarch Plus and Monarch Maxi pleated retractable insect screens have a guide channel that holds the screen in position at the sill.
When the screen is opened, mesh channel guide retracts, leaving nothing on the floor for people to trip over when entering or exiting the room.
Conventional flat mesh retractable screens have a channel fitted to the floor that sits up between 20 and 35mm high this can be dangerous to the un-initiated.
People do have the option of rebating the flat mesh guide into the floor, which can be costly and difficult to keep clean.
The Monarch range of pleated retractable insect screens have a special clip that connects to the insect mesh, which assists in stopping the screen from blowing out of the track when there is a breeze. A similar clip is installed at the head of the screen. This improves the effectiveness of screen to keep insects out.
The Monarch pleated retractable insect screens do not use a tensioned spring or a counter balance mechanism to operate the screen.
Thus the screen is not under tension and can be moved as fast or as slow as people like without the risk of the screen slipping out of their hand and fully retracting.
This feature also eliminates the need for a brake to be fitted to the screen making the screen safer and easier to operate, especially for children.
The Monarch pleated retractable insect screens have been specifically developed to screen large openings. The Monarch pleated retractable insect screens are easy to fit and are supplied fully manufactured ready to install.
The screen has a building in tolerance of +/- 10mm and can be adjusted to suit jambs that are up to 10mm out of plumb (Monarch Plus only). There are no breaks to fit or on site adjustment required of the operating system.
