In today’s dynamic business landscape, paying attention to the finer details can play a crucial role in gaining a competitive advantage. One often underestimated aspect in this regard is the installation of efficient insect mesh screens, which can prove essential for certain businesses, though not necessarily for all.
The Mesh Company recognises the critical role these screens play in maintaining a clean, professional, and health-conscious business environment.
Our comprehensive range of insect meshes is designed to meet diverse business needs, ensuring that your premises remain free from unwanted pests.
This blog intends to outline why insect control is so important, and offer advice on product types, applications etc.
Let’s get into it…
Why Your Business Needs Fly Insect Screens
1. Health and Hygiene: Especially in restaurants, cafes, healthcare facilities, and food processing units, insect screens are necessary for maintaining health and hygiene standards. Flies and other insects can contaminate food and surfaces, posing a health risk to customers and employees. Businesses can significantly reduce this risk by installing high-quality insect screens, ensuring a clean and hygienic environment.
2. Customer Comfort and Business Reputation: In addition to health considerations, your customers’ comfort is paramount. It is possible to create a pleasant and comfortable environment without being bothered by buzzing insects by using fly insect screens. Customer comfort can enhance the overall experience, encouraging repeat business and positive word-of-mouth. Furthermore, the use of quality insect screens reflects well on your business’s reputation, demonstrating your commitment to quality and customer service.
Overview of The Mesh Company's Insect Mesh Range
The Mesh Company offers a diverse range of insect mesh products, designed to cater to various business needs and environmental conditions. Our collection includes:
Aluminium Insect Mesh: Durable and resistant to corrosion and rust, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications. In harsh weather conditions or areas with high traffic, this product is perfect.
Stainless Steel Mesh: For areas that require extra strength and protection, stainless steel mesh is a reliable and long-lasting option.
Fibreglass Mesh: Easily installed and available in a variety of colours, fiberglass mesh is a versatile and economical choice.
We have carefully selected and tested each type of mesh in our range to ensure it meets the highest quality and effectiveness standards. No matter where your business is located, The Mesh Company has the right insect screening solution for you.
Detailed Analysis of Individual Options
- Durability: Aluminium insect mesh is known for its exceptional durability. In areas exposed to moisture or harsh weather conditions, it is rust and corrosion-resistant. Over time, this longevity ensures that the mesh remains effective and maintains its appearance.
- Suitability: Businesses in coastal regions where salt air might corrode other materials would benefit from this type of mesh. This screen is also ideal for high-traffic areas such as entryways and windows in stores and restaurants.
If you are in a coastal location we would always recommend marine grade stainless steel as the best choice. The selection in this link would be ideal as an insect screen media.
- Strength: Mesh made of stainless steel is exceptionally strong and resilient. This material is virtually indestructible, making it ideal for protecting against insects and small rodents.
- Applications: Stainless steel mesh is ideal for industrial settings, such as food processing plants, or areas that require additional security. Moreover, its elegant finish makes it a popular choice for upscale establishments that require both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
- Versatility: The versatility of fibreglass mesh is well known. For indoor environments, it offers good visibility and airflow while being lighter than metal meshes.

- Tailored Solutions: For instance, a food service business near the coast would benefit from aluminium mesh due to its corrosion resistance, while a countryside bed and breakfast might prefer the aesthetic flexibility of fibreglass mesh.
Installation Tips and Maintenance
- Installation: An insect screen’s effectiveness depends on its proper installation. Fit the mesh snugly and cover all insect entry points.
- Maintenance: The mesh should be cleaned and inspected regularly to prolong its life and maintain its effectiveness. For optimal performance, each material has its own maintenance requirements.

Guide on Easy Installation and Upkeep of the Screens
Installing and maintaining insect screens is straightforward and does not require specialised skills. For the best results, follow these guidelines:
- Measuring and Cutting: Make sure the area where the screen will be installed is accurately measured. To ensure complete coverage, cut the mesh slightly larger than the opening.
- Securing the Mesh: Secure the mesh firmly in place with a suitable frame and fasteners. Make sure there are no gaps around the edges where insects could enter.
- Regular Maintenance: Regularly clean the screens with mild soap and water to remove dust and debris. Make sure they are not damaged or worn out by inspecting them periodically.
