Frequently Asked Questions
Artilux offers two premium screening systems for bifold doors — retractable fly screens and pleated insect screens. Retractable screens suit smaller to mid-size openings and roll neatly into a slim cassette when not in use. Pleated screens glide effortlessly across wider spans, combining smooth operation with a refined architectural finish.
Artilux screens let you enjoy the full potential of your bifold doors — keeping insects out while maintaining airflow, light, and connection to outdoor spaces. The result is a more practical and enjoyable use of your doors, turning occasional openings into a comfortable, everyday way of living.
The screens are specifically designed with a sleek, minimalist profile that fits seamlessly into the door frame, making a lack of space a non-issue.

Artilux also offers an extensive range of over 100 standard powder coating colors at no extra charge, ensuring the screen frames can be matched to the home’s original architecture for a seamless, integrated look.
For bifold doors, Artilux offers two screening systems — and the mesh differs between them. Pleated screens use a high-quality, UV-resistant polyester pleated mesh ideal for wide spans.
