Implement insect protection for sliding door

Hello,

I am planning to install a 3.4m large sliding door to the terrace as part of a renovation. Since I am at least a "fresh air fanatic" in the summer, it will be open a lot. The plan is probably a [Raffstore] (I am still a bit undecided between a [Rollladen] or [Raffstore]).

Now I am wondering how to implement the insect protection. Are there also boxes with [Raffstore] that include a mesh? Is that even sensible, since you can only operate it from the inside then? Also, you have to raise it almost completely to step through the door.

I think I have also once seen mesh installed on the side somewhere. Is that more practical and does it work well, or does the operation get stuck? I would like a solution that is not visible when you do not need it. I don't like a "door" that you slide to the side and thus always stands in front of the fixed element of the sliding door.

Has anyone solved something like this here and can give me some tips?

I have side-opening pleated fly screens from Neher on my sliding doors and am very satisfied with them. They slide open and closed easily and are barely noticeable when folded. You always have the bar/cassette visible, but that doesn’t bother me. They also work in combination with venetian blinds and/or roller shutters (on one door I have both).

Because of the wavy shape, they are more visible when closed than normal sliding frames, but I don’t find that a problem either; you should just take a look yourself beforehand.

Thank you for the feedback. How does the side sliding door perform in everyday use? I have also read by now that Neher apparently offers very good quality. The mechanism should run smoothly and not be jerky, even if children possibly push it up from a lower position.

If I plan such a system, it will be installed independently of the window. Do you then have to pay attention to anything special with the windows? Is it then installed between the window and the [Raffstore]?

It is mounted in the projection of the fixed part and is therefore at the height of the fixed glass pane. Roller shutters and venetian blinds run in front of it (so "outside"). In everyday life, I find it much more pleasant than a fixed sliding frame because those often get stuck. Another advantage is that it does not get dirty nearly as quickly (dust, pollen, etc.) since it is stored cleanly folded when not in use. I have had to vacuum the fixed grids on the windows twice already, but not the pleated blinds.

Here are two photos quickly once again.

The frame part runs in a guide rail at the top and bottom, and both sides are connected with a cable pull. So it doesn't matter where you push, both ends always move in parallel.

Great, thank you for your effort. That sounds really good and I am really leaning towards such a side pleated blind.
