Is this the right service for your job?
Choose this for a wide opening where the mosquito screen needs to fold aside.
- If a rigid screen can slide beside your glass door, compare the Sliding Mosquito Net Door. It runs on rollers in an existing or added track.
- If the whole open face of the balcony needs screening, see the Balcony Mosquito Net. It covers that larger opening in fitted mesh bays.
What makes pleated mesh different
Ordinary mesh is a stretched flat sheet that must live in a frame the size of the opening. Pleated mesh folds, so its home is a slim stack a few centimetres wide at the side of the opening.
Pull the handle bar and the pleats fan out across the opening, guided by tensioned cords and a floor rail about as slim as a finger. Release it anywhere and it stays where you left it, half open if you like.
The floor rail is low, but its height depends on the chosen system. Tell us if you use a walking aid, trolley or robot vacuum. We check the threshold and the clearance it needs before you choose the mesh.
The openings pleated mesh was made for
Wide balcony and terrace doors, first: a three-metre opening is one pleated span, no centre post, no pair of clashing panels.
Full-height French windows and sliding door walls in newer flats, where any framed mesh would be enormous and a magnetic panel impractical to peel ten times a day.
Openings without room for anything else: no swing space inside for a hinged mesh, no spare track for a slider, and a doorway that cannot lose width to a frame.
And homes where elderly hands or children use the door constantly, because the operating force is fingertip-light and there is nothing to lift, unclip or slam.
Measure, make, fit
Pleated systems are made to the millimetre for each opening, so we measure carefully, including floor level across the span, because the slim rail wants an even floor line.
Fabrication takes about a week: the pleated mesh cut and creased to height, cords tensioned, rails and side channels cut to your colour. The mesh itself is a tough polyester weave designed for folding, and the pleats are permanent by manufacture.
Fitting is a few hours: side channels plumb, floor rail bedded level and sealed, tension balanced so the span glides evenly and parks where released. We cycle it dozens of times before handover, and we show the household the two habits that matter: keep the rail swept, and guide the bar rather than flinging it.
Cost, honestly positioned
Pleated mesh is the most expensive mesh we fit, at ₹323 per sq ft, so a big balcony doorway costs more than other mesh would. You are paying for how it works: folded mesh, tensioned cords and machined rails, not a sheet in a frame.
It is worth paying for exactly where its strengths are used: big openings, heavy daily traffic, no space for alternatives. On a small kitchen window it is not worth the money. We will tell you so, and suggest the cheaper mesh that suits it.
Cared for, the system runs years. Cords and mesh spans are replaceable parts if they wear out or a pet tears the mesh, without changing the rails.
