Overview

Aire is a custom screening system designed to integrate cleanly into large openings while maintaining a refined, minimal profile. Each system is built to order and configured based on the dimensions of the opening.

System Capability

Designed for large openings

144"
Single Span — Max Width
288"
Dual Span — Max Width
120"
Maximum Height

System type — ST, XL, DL, or DC — is determined by the proportions of the opening to ensure proper operation across the span.

Configurations

Four configurations, fit to the opening

Each Aire system is configured to match the proportions of the opening. Two single-span types for openings up to 144", and two dual-span types for openings beyond.

ST · Single Tall

For taller openings

Used when height exceeds width proportion. Pull bar plus ST bar configuration.

Condition: height > (width − 5")
XL · Extended Lateral

For wider openings

Used when width exceeds height proportion. Pull bars on both sides.

Max width: (height × 2) − 16"
DL · Dual Lateral

For openings beyond 144"

Cartridges connect via PVC and operate together as a single system across one span.

For openings up to 288"
DC · Dual Central

For center-meeting closure

Panels meet and close at the center of the opening with magnetic closure.

For openings up to 288"
Single white Aire cartridge in ST configuration
At Scale

A single cartridge, made to fit

Every Aire system is built around a single architectural cartridge — manufactured to the exact dimensions of the opening. No shimming, no trimming, no on-site adaptation. The cartridge arrives sized for its install.

The Cartridge

Built into the architecture

Every Aire cartridge is built around the same architectural geometry — aluminum profiles with a Kynar powder coating, configured to the proportions of the opening.

Visibility

Clear sightlines through the screen

The pleated PET mesh is fine enough to maintain a clear view to the outside while keeping insects out. Light passes through. The opening stays open.

Installation

A system that installs without friction

  1. Fasten top track and jambs

    Secure the frame components to the head and sides of the opening.

  2. Apply the sill

    Adhesive-mounted 5 mm sill installs flush to the floor line.

  3. Insert the cartridge

    Cartridge drops into the frame and engages the track system.

  4. Latch to anchor plates

    Anchor plates secure the cartridge to the jamb. Minimal adjustment on site.

— Mounting Options

Two mounting approaches

  • Recessed (inside mount)
    For openings with sufficient depth for a clean, integrated install.
  • Face mount (surface mount)
    3-sided configuration standard. 4-sided available when needed.
System Components

Frame · Closure · Cartridge

Frame

Top track, jambs, sill

Top track mounted to the head of the opening. Jambs to each side. 5 mm low-profile sill with adhesive backing.

Closure

Bipolar magnetic

Configurable left or right operation. Anchor plates secure cartridge to jamb at the closure point.

Cartridge

ST / XL configurations

Each cartridge is configured to match the proportions of the opening. Pull-bar arrangement varies by type.

The Mesh

Engineered for the long term

Aire mesh is pleated polyethylene terephthalate (PET) — chosen for its UV resistance, dimensional stability, and clean appearance under outdoor conditions. The pleat geometry is what allows the system to retract and deploy across wide spans without sagging.
