Sliding Solar Screen for Patio Doors (DIY Kit)

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

This kit will make a high quality sliding solar screen for patio 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 sliding panel rolls effortlessly along the discrete track to allow entry and exit through your door. You can choose from a Z track to allow you to face fit, or alternatively reveal fit using a U and L track fitted to the floor and upper ceiling of your reveal respectively. Pile to the back of the screen provides a complete all round seal. Clips at the top of the panel allow it to be lifted out of the track 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 easily 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?

If you select the face fit option Z tracks are fixed to the top and bottom of your door frame. If you select the reveal fit option the U and L tracks are fitted to the floor and ceiling of your reveal respectively. In both cases the screen panel sits on the track and wheels allow the panel to roll/slide over the fixed pane when you wish to pass through the door.

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