What are Plissé screens

Plissé Screens were originally designed as an alternative to the classic screen found on most homes in the last century. Our team of engineers and fabricators shared one common vision: to revolutionize the way people enjoy the outdoors while inside their homes, boats, or RVs. In doing so, we have designed a retractable screen that not only is durable for any environment but is also easily repairable if it were to get damaged. One major contention of old-style screens was when they were not is use, they were either physically in the way or aesthetically unpleasing. This was especially true if you wanted to enjoy a good view through a glass window or doorway. Plissé Screens very design is to get out of the way by retracting into itself. This not only gives a clear view but also protects the screen itself when not in use.

Plisse Screens retract by using a simple Corded Tension System on a Pleated Screen Material as opposed to the spring loaded roller systems found on most retractable screens today. This means that there is nothing mechanical that can break or malfunction. The main difference between both is their longevity. Plisse Screens were designed to be repaired over a long period of time whereas Retractable Roller Screens need to be replaced completely when they eventually malfunction or get damaged.

How Long Will My Plissé Screen Last?

The LaLiberte’s of Sun City, Texas have been enjoying bug-free time together on their back porch for 14 years this month. It was back on October 16 of 2004 that Doug the Screen Guy installed the screen you see them with here.

Plissé screen: the future of retractable srceens is availible now!

All our screens are custom made by American Manufacturing to fit any size or opening, and they all run on the same tension system no matter the size. We chose this operating system as opposed to our competitors spring loaded roller system because we come from a window treatment background. Any roller system can be compromised easily and they are impossible to repair on your own. A tension system does not require anything mechanical, so once it is understood how they work any layman can repair their own screen.

Handing is which side of the screen it stacks into when not in use. This is not needed for a double door. You can determine which side of the door this relates to depending on whether you are mounting it inside or outside of the doorway. For instance, if you are mounting the screen outside of your house you will look at the opening from the outside to determine handing.

That depends on how aggressive the cat is. Remember that cats have claws and can rip through the screen material if they wanted to. Our Tenison Line Hooks are designed to keep most cats from slipping underneath the screen and escaping. They attach to the bottom tension line and are inserted into the bottom rail.

While a threshold adapter may not always be needed, we do always recommend using one. These can not only help protect the bottom rail, but they can also help you and others from tripping over the bottom rail.

Surface mount adapters are used to wall mount a Plissé Screen. In some scenarios you may just need one, whereas for certain RVs you may need three. Whether you need any is determined by how you will be mounting the screen. If you are mounting the screen entirely inside a pocket or frame none will be needed. Please email us some photos if you are not sure.

The depth of our Plissé Rails is 1 1/8”. Meaning that you will need at 

You will need at least ¾” of space to mount a Plissé Screen.

When the screen is fully retracted you will lose about 2 ¾” of space. It may be more if you have a very wide opening because there will be more screen that folds up when retracted.

A sidemark is just for you to label each screen you order if you happen to order multiple screens at once.

Depending on the damage most screens can be repaired. You can order a restring kit or a fabric replacement kit directly from our website. If you have ordered multiple screens from us, please make sure to mention in the comments section of your order for which unit the restring kit is for.

Yes, you can mount our screens into anything you can put a screw into. However, concrete and brick we recommend tapcon screws. Please let us know if you intend to mount into either so we can supply you with specialty screws and open wider the mounting holes on the screen rails as these types of screws require large openings.

Unfortunately, we can not supply or recommend any installers in your area. We recommend hiring a handyman to install the screen for you if the project proves to be too difficult. In most cases, if you can put together furniture you should be able to assemble and install a Plisse Screen.

Yes, you can purchase locks and latches for both single and double doors. However, these locking devices are mainly used to keep children from opening the screen door. They will not protect you from the criminal element or aggressive wild animals.

While we do sell this product for RVs and Sprinter Vans, we recommend speaking with a Plissé Screen salesperson first. Not all RV buildouts are built the same and some may require further modifications or components to mount our screens.

While there are many mitigating factors that adjust the price of each screen the main variables would be size, and opening. Plissé Screens doors start at $329.99 and that price includes shipping within the continental United States.

Unfortunately, our Plissé Restring Kits will not work on other manufacturer models.
