Sliding Mesh Door
A dedicated mesh leaf running in the same track as your sliding door.
Where space is tight and a swinging screen will not work, a sliding mesh leaf shares the door's track system. Robust enough for daily family use on balcony and terrace doors.
Key highlights
- Shares the sliding door track
- No swing space needed
- Robust aluminium frame
- Fibreglass or stainless mesh
- Lockable option
