» » THE SIMPLE AND
effective Ascena Sliding
Flyscreen offers call-back and
add-on sales opportunities for
all bi-folding and sliding door
installations.
After the record-breaking
summer enjoyed by Britons
everywhere during 2018, sales
of French, sliding and bi-folding
doors are expected to hit new
levels during the 2019 spring.
But last summer also reminded
those of us with garden doors
what a nuisance flies and wasps
can be as the sun goes down.
Just as sliding and bi folding
door designs have been
revolutionised in recent years,
so too have flyscreen designs
and performance, with the
introduction of the Ascena
Pleated Insect Screen.
Offered to fabricators and
installers as an add-on to almost
any style and brand of French,
sliding and bi-folding door, the
Ascena Insect Screen is highly
effective, whilst also offering
an extra layer of protection and
shade against the rays of the
sun. Smoothly and effortlessly
sliding open and closed in
seconds the Ascena Insect
Screen is manufactured from
high-grade aluminium and may
easily be retrofitted against most
types and brands of French,
sliding or bi-folding door1.
Aluminium extrusions,
available in two standard colours
– Anthracite Grey (7016), Pearl
White – support high quality
polypropylene mesh screens that
are tough and cannot be torn or
damaged in normal use. High
strength, braided tensioning
cords run horizontally to
stabilize the screen and control
vertical orientation of the handle
bar. These tensioning cords run
over precision bearings to ensure
the high quality, polypropylene
mesh slides smoothly with a low
operating force.
The tensioning cords also
prevent the mesh from blowing
out in windy conditions. The
Ascena Insect Screen withstands
wind gusts up to 20mph before
the mesh leaves the channel.
This safety feature helps prevent
tearing and if the screen does
leave the channel it can be easily
reset.
Ascena can easily be
installed in openings up to
4000mmx2700mm as a single
screen or may be combined as
meeting screens to cover openings
as wide as 8000mm 2700mm.
With more than 10,000 installed
throughout the Unites States, the
patented Ascena Insect Screen
has undergone rigorous testing
and exceeded 150,000 cycles but
for peace of mind, the company
offers a five year warranty.
