Insect Screens PDF Print E-mail
The Food and Hygiene Regulations require that windows in commercial food preparation areas which open to the outside environment are fitted with a means of preventing the entry of birds and other infestations. It is essential therefore that a properly designed screening system is used.

To be effective, insect screen systems should be permanently insect proof, and moveable screens must have seals that remain insect proof even after thousands of opening and closing operations.

Types and operation
Fixed screens - panels fixed direct to the window frame and which do no operate.
Hinged screens - panels that are hinged on one side.
Sliding screens - panels slide in a track system.
Roller screens - roller blind type with boxing and side guides.
Screen doors - self-closing screens for doorways.

Components
Frames - anodised or stove enamelled aluminium.
Fabric - PVC coated glassfibre; rot-proof mesh.
Side guides - for roller screens to retain the edge of the fabric and seal against insect ingress.
