Most people are familiar with conventional coiling/spring loaded retractable screens as an alternative to those ugly inconvenient hinged screen doors and fixed window screens. Retractable screens are an attractive addition to any home and are conveniently out of the way when not needed, eliminating the need to juggle the groceries while fumbling for keys when coming home. Conventional coiling and spring loaded retractable screens do have some disadvantages, the worst of which is they tend to blow out of the track or pop open in any but the mildest breeze. This could leave your home wide open to nasty and sometimes dangerous insects. These retractable screens are also expensive, difficult to install, and often need a professional to repair.
Poseidon Interiors has discovered an alternative – Plissé (PLEE’-say) retractable screens, which have long been a favorite in Europe and elsewhere around the world. The Plisse Screen uses a simple design which takes advantage of pleated screen fabric that folds away when not needed. Having no spring, a Plissé Screen can not pop open unexpectedly. Our proprietary tensioning lines run horizontally through the fabric preventing the Plisse Screen from blowing out of its track – even in a strong wind. The uncomplicated design of the Plisse retractable screen is very affordable and easy enough for almost anyone to install, making expensive professional installation unnecessary. The simple design with fewer parts to go wrong will provide years of trouble free service.
The Plissé retractable screen from Poseidon Interiors uses a baked on finish applied to heavy duty aluminum parts and stainless steel hardware. It is available in six standard colors designed to compliment most contemporary exterior trim choices, and four special order colors that may be a better match for what you are looking for.
