The solution
Transforming Indoor-Outdoor Living with Pleated Door Screens
Like many of our projects, this installation began with an ambitious kitchen and dining room renovation. To maximize natural light, the homeowner installed two large sets of bifold doors at the back of the house. These doors were designed to create a seamless connection between the indoors and the outdoors, effortlessly transforming the space into an open, airy environment whenever the doors are fully opened.
While this setup promised tranquillity and a fresh breeze, it also brought an unwelcome challenge: insects and spiders entering the home. After researching bespoke insect screens for bifold doors, the homeowner reached out to Phantom Screens for a solution.

A Tailored Solution: Double Distinction XL Pleated Screens
After an initial phone consultation, we scheduled a free home survey at the homeowner’s convenience. During our visit, we took precise measurements and had an in-depth discussion to ensure we understood their needs.
The decision was made to install two double Distinction XL screens, one for each set of bifold doors. Known for their elegant design, these screens feature a unique pleated mesh that adds a touch of sophistication while providing complete insect protection.
Enhancing Comfort and Aesthetics
The screens not only keep insects at bay but also allow the homeowner to enjoy the best of the outdoors. Fresh summer breezes can flow through the home, replacing stale air and keeping the environment feeling cool and refreshing. This natural ventilation also offers the added benefit of reducing reliance on air conditioning, potentially lowering energy costs.
With a keen eye for design, the homeowner wanted to ensure the screens would complement the existing aesthetic of the home. We colour-matched the screens to the existing door frames in Anthracite Grey, ensuring they blended seamlessly with the home’s sophisticated, minimalist look. Unlike curtains or blinds that could obstruct the garden view, these screens preserve the beauty of the outdoor space while providing essential functionality.
The Result
A Bug-Free, Luxurious Living Space
Thanks to their new pleated screens, the homeowner can now fully enjoy their bifold doors, relishing in insect-free fresh air and uninterrupted views of their garden. The Distinction XL screens have not only added practicality but also enhanced the overall luxury of this modern Bedfordshire home.
