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. Wanzhi Steel specializes in the production of metal insect nets. The mesh size, wire diameter, length, and width can all be customized. Please feel free to contact us for details.

Features

1. Corrosion resistance: Some materials (such as stainless steel and galvanized iron) have good corrosion resistance and are suitable for humid environments.

2. Lightweight: Fly screen mesh made of materials such as plastic and fiberglass is light and easy to install. Metal Windows insect screens use designs such as magnetic suction or snap-on, which are easy to install and remove quickly and are not easily damaged.

3. Permeability: The fine mesh design blocks insects while not affecting indoor ventilation and lighting.

4. Aesthetics: You can choose fly screen mesh in different colors, shapes, and patterns according to your personal preferences to enhance the aesthetics of your home. The looming visual effect can add interest to the interior space, and it can break the monotony when used with curtains.

5. High strength: Stainless steel has high tensile strength and toughness, can withstand certain external impacts and is not easily damaged.

6. Easy to clean: Stainless steel has a smooth surface, is not easy to accumulate dust and stains, and is easy to clean.

7. Blocking strong light: Adjusting light and ventilation, the screen can soften direct sunlight and avoid excessive indoor light while maintaining ventilation.

Uses

1. Home and Building: Installed on windows, balcony doors or screens, RVs and tents, screens and insect nets to prevent mosquitoes, flies, cockroaches and other pests from invading while maintaining ventilation.
2. Agriculture and Breeding: Greenhouses and livestock farms with window insect nets that do not affect natural lighting. Protect crops/livestock from insects (such as aphids and moths).
3. Safety and Protection: Stainless steel wire insect nets are tough and can be used as simple anti-theft nets for low-rise buildings, or to prevent children and pets from accidentally falling out of windows. Diamond mesh screens are made of high-strength stainless steel, which is pry-proof and shear-proof.
4. Dust and debris: Filter dust, catkins, pollen, and other particulate matter in the air, especially suitable for people with poor air quality or allergies.
5. Privacy Protection: Screens have a one-way perspective effect, and you can clearly see the outdoors from indoors during the day, while it is difficult for people outside to peek into the indoors. This makes it a common supporting product for residences, hotels and other places.
6. Environmental protection and energy saving: reduce dependence on pesticides and reduce chemical pollution; maintain natural ventilation in summer, reduce the use of air conditioning, and assist in energy saving.

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

1. 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

2. 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?

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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

1. Aluminium Window Insect Screen

Aluminium mosquito netting mesh is undoubtedly the best quality insect mesh for windows available today. Its protective coating makes it extremely strong and durable, and it lasts longer than fiberglass.

Aluminium mosquito net for windows provides excellent coverage and is resistant to wear, corrosion, UV rays, and rust, and is easy to maintain. They are lightweight and available in a variety of colors, textures, and patterns. Aluminium mesh is hard and strong, so it is more difficult to install than fiberglass, but it is not easy to tear. It is also suitable for bushfire prone areas with a BAL rating of up to 29.

2. Fiberglass mesh

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. It is made from vinyl coated fiberglass strands and is available in a number of different uses, including heavy-duty, fine grade, or standard grade. The fine grade is ideal for insect infestations in coastal areas, while the heavy grade is suitable for bad weather and high winds. However, please note that fiberglass mesh is not recommended for use in bad weather conditions. 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.

3. Stainless steel window screen

Stainless steel is a material known for its durability, and while it is more expensive than aluminum and fiberglass screens, its toughness ensures it will stand the test of time. Stainless steel screens can be used to increase the safety of your home or used in any BAL-rated forest fire-prone area. Stainless steel screens are also a good choice if you have pets that might scratch your screens.

 

What type of insect screen is best?

When buying mosquito nets, it is important to know what is the best screen to keep bugs out. Then, considering the functions and prices of various aspects, Wanzhi Steel recommends stainless steel mosquito nets and aluminum alloy mosquito nets.

1). Stainless steel mosquito net for windows has a very long service life, is not easily damaged by external forces, is fireproof and waterproof, and is not afraid of coastal and industrial areas with serious pollution.

2). Aluminum alloy mosquito nets have various colors and styles, and the price is slightly lower than stainless steel. It is a low-cost alternative to stainless steel mosquito nets. You can choose the appropriate style according to your home decoration style. It is also anti-freeze, sun-proof, and anti-aging.

These are all questions that need to be answered before choosing a mesh material.
