The maximum flyscreen width varies depending on the Flyscreen frame height. If the Flyscreen frame height <= 2450mm then the maximum flyscreen width would be 3050mm. If the Flyscreen frame height > 2450mm and <= 3000mm then the maximum flyscreen width would be 2400mm.
W = O/A Width
Flyscreen stile runs up to magnetic strip in the jamb closer. This page shows the flyscreen frame fitted behind 3L door combination, make sure the flyscreen does not exceed the absolute maximum flyscreen width. Single opening flyscreen can be fitted to other Bi-fold door that open to one side only as long as you don't exceed the absolute maximum single screen width.
Alternative 26mm step in the brick skins removes the need for jamb extender.
Important Note: The flyscreen frame can only be fixed to the 44mm jambs as shown left and is not suitable for retro fitting. This page shows the flyscreen frame fitted behind 3L door combination.

The maximum single flyscreen width varies depending on the Flyscreen frame height. If the Flyscreen frame height <= 2450mm then the maximum single flyscreen width would be 3050mm or 6100mm on a double if the screens met in the middle. If the Flyscreen frame height > 2450mm and <= 3000mm then the maximum single flyscreen width would be 2400mm or 4800mm on a double if the screens met in the middle.
W = O/A Width
Important Note: This page shows the flyscreen frame fitted behind 3L 1R door combination with the screen door meeting at French meeting stiles. This is only possible if the door leaves are not too wide and the screen does not exceed the maximum width. On other four panel combinations 4L, 4R and 2L2R the screen door would meet in the middle. Flyscreens can be fitted to other door combinations as long as they don't exceed the absolute maximum double screen width.
