Butted Double Sliding Solar Screens for Doors (DIY Kit)

Are your rooms too hot in summer? Keep your doors open, reduce heat and keep insects out with this highly effective Solar Screen.

This kit will make a high quality butted sliding solar screen for French Doors and Sliding Doors. Fitted with our tried and tested SunTex® mesh. These screens will block up to 80% of the sun’s heat and about 75% of the UV whilst allowing fresh air to flow into your room. And they stop those annoying insects as well.

If you need to keep midges out please look at our Fly Screen section. Our 30 x 20 Genuine Midge Mesh also reduces heat from the sun by up to 65%.

The two sliding panels glide smoothly along the single track to allow entry and exit through your doors. Pile to the back of the panels and PVC joining strip between the panels provide a complete all round seal. Clips at the top of the panels allow them to be removed for cleaning or storage in the cooler months

You can choose a White or Anthracite Grey frame and we also offer a colour coating service if you need to match a specific paint colour.

This screen represents a wise investment if you’re looking for a good long-term solution rather than a cheap short-term fix. The frames will last for many years and the mesh can be replaced if needed.

The kit is supplied with all necessary screen materials, fixings, a spline tool for fitting the mesh and a set of instructions. Most importantly - we are the end of the phone if you need some help.

Please note: To make this screen you will need to mitre-cut the aluminium frames using a mitre box and good hacksaw or preferably a mitre saw. Making also requires measuring, drilling, and screwing so we would not recommend this kit for DIY beginners. If DIY is not for you, we have a made to measure option which can be selected below.

We offer one of the UK’s best selections of Solar Screens, made at our UK factory to the utmost quality and standards. For your peace of mind, our screens come with a TWO YEAR Warranty.

How does this screen work?

‘Z’ tracks are attached to the top and bottom of your door frame and run the full length of your door opening, including the fixed panes to either side of your doors The screen panels sit on the track and wheels allow the panels to roll/slide over the fixed panes when you wish to pass through the door.

When the two screens are in the closed position, they butt together, sealed with the PVC joining strip.

Tracks and frames are made from high quality powder coated aluminium

The ‘how to measure’ tab gives advice on measuring and other factors that may determine how the screen is fitted.
