A screen device for an opening in a window or a door in a building or vehicle, comprising:

• a first elongated frame part having two ends;
• a second frame part and a third frame part, respectively, that are oriented at right angles to the first frame part, being connected at each end of said first frame part to A first one of two ends of each of said second frame part and said third frame part;
• a first crossbar and a second crossbar which are arranged in parallel to said first elongated frame part and movable independently of each other along said second frame part and said third frame part;
• and
• a pleated screen element that is arranged between said first crossbar and said second crossbar, said crossbars being guided by guide cords,
• wherein at least one of said crossbars is formed by two discrete profiles which are connected to each other at free ends thereof and leave between said two discrete profiles a space forming a continuous opening oriented in a plane defined by the second frame part and the third frame part and in which said space a strip provided with holes for respective ones of said guide cords is received,
• wherein the continuous opening separates the two discrete profiles such that the two discrete profiles do not directly contact each other between their respective ends,
• wherein the crossbars are arranged to move slidably in the second and third frame parts, and
• wherein the second and the third frame parts are fixedly attached to the respective ends of the first frame part to extend at a ninety degree angle.
