The Formosa Retractable Pleated Screen: Features and Benefits

The Formosa retractable pleated screen is designed to integrate seamlessly with doorways, providing an effective barrier while maintaining a discreet appearance. Its innovative construction ensures functionality whether the screen is in use or retracted.

Integrated and Discreet Design

The screen is fully incorporated into doors, remaining unobtrusive at all times. This is made possible by the use of low-profile aluminum sections that blend with existing door frames. The pleated mesh, which is both UV stable and durable, contributes to the screen’s subtle integration.

Durable and Protective Mesh

The mesh itself is composed of Polyethylene and Polypropylene (PE+PP), materials known for their strength and resilience. This combination ensures the screen is as robust as plastic, will not rust, and provides reliable protection against ultraviolet rays.

The Formosa pleated screen offers significant benefits over traditional flat mesh screens. Unlike flat mesh screens, the Formosa pleated screen is designed with a pleated mesh that allows the material to fold and stack back against itself effortlessly. This unique feature ensures smooth operation and makes the screen exceptionally easy to use.

Space-Saving Design

In addition to its ease of use, the pleated mesh design occupies minimal space when retracted. This space-saving advantage makes the Formosa pleated screen a superior choice for environments where maximizing available space is important.

Magnetic Strip for Smooth Operation

A built-in magnetic strip allows the screen to glide smoothly along its track and ensures a perfect closure each time. This feature enhances ease of use and maintains a secure seal when the screen is deployed.

Stability and Wind Resistance

Braided tensioning cords run horizontally through the screen, stabilising the mesh and preventing it from blowing out of the channel during windy conditions. This design reduces the risk of tearing and, if the screen does come out of its track, it can be easily repositioned.

Child and Pet Friendly Maintenance

The Formosa screen is built with families and pet owners in mind. If children or pets happen to run through the mesh, or if any accidental damage occurs, the specialised design allows for straightforward mesh replacement onsite. This process does not require the removal of any fixed components, making repairs quick and convenient.
