Insect screens for windows are a protective device designed for windows to prevent insects such as mosquitoes, flies, etc. from entering the house while maintaining ventilation and light in the house. Sometimes referred to as fly screen mesh. It is very effective in preventing insects from entering the home and is more user-friendly (and better for the insects and the environment) than fly paper and fly sprays. Insect netting for windows is made of a variety of materials, including stainless steel, aluminum alloy, polyester fiber, and plastic. Metal materials are highly favored due to their corrosion resistance, high strength, and easy cleaning properties.

What is the difference between a standard insect screen and a fly mosquito net window?

Standard insect net – 18 x 16 holes per square inch. This net is designed and manufactured to ensure maximum visibility (through the screen) to ensure as much light as possible enters the room.

Insects that this netting can block include: bees and wasps, house flies, fly flies, crane flies, long-legged spiders, house flies, wasps, ladybugs, mosquitoes, moths, butterflies, spiders

Midge net – 30 x 20 holes per square inch. The fly mosquito net has a tighter weave than the standard insect net to ensure midges cannot penetrate, however, visibility and airflow will be slightly reduced. This netting provides the same protection as the standard insect netting and blocks smaller insects such as midges and is recommended for use in midge-infested areas of Scotland and other areas of the UK where smaller insects may be found.

What are the 3 main types of mesh for retractable screens?

PVC coated fiberglass

Fiberglass mesh is the most common window screen because it is affordable and rust and mildew resistant. Made from vinyl coated fiberglass strands, it is available in a number of different uses, including heavy duty, fine grade, or standard grade. Fine grade is ideal for insect infestations in coastal areas, while heavy grade is suitable for inclement weather and high winds. But be careful not to use it in inclement weather.

Polyester

Polyester mesh is more durable than fiberglass mesh, so it is a good choice for pleated retractable screens. Polyester mesh offers the same visibility as fiberglass, but its toughness supports long-term use of mobile retractable screen components.

Polypropylene mesh (PP mesh)

Polypropylene mesh, commonly referred to as PP mesh, is a new material that is becoming increasingly popular due to its durability and environmental friendliness. Compared to fiberglass and polyester, PP mesh is more tear-resistant, less prone to sagging, and has a high chemical resistance. It is also lightweight, mildew-resistant, and provides good exterior visibility. In addition to this, coated PP mesh is also UV-resistant and waterproof.

3 Main Types of Window Insect Netting Mesh for Fixing

Fiberglass mesh is the most common window door fly screen because it is affordable, rust and mildew resistant, and comes in a variety of colors.

Fiberglass mesh is soft, flexible, and easy to install, making it a great choice for DIY enthusiasts on a budget. However, it is tightly woven and can tear easily.
