FAQs For This Product

What Do We Mean By Bug Screen?

Bug screen refers to this high quality fly mesh made from stainless steel is ideal for keeping insects out. It is woven together to produce small holes of 1.36mm x 1.36mm. In light of the material’s flexibility, it may require a frame in order to add rigidity. Rolls are available in a range of widths and lengths that are suitable for diverse applications. For use on soffits or behind cladding, the 10 cm to 30 cm wide rolls are perfect. These wider rolls are ideal for producing insect screens for doors or windows, or for covering large areas such as roofs.

We offer a heavy duty stainless steel insect mesh screen for areas where people are likely to come into contact with it regularly, such as windows and doors. This mesh has a thicker wire for increased strength, which makes it the best choice for high traffic areas, and spaces that need additional rigidity.

We also offer a midge mesh if you require an insect mesh with an even smaller hole. This mesh deters minute insects such as mosquitoes and midges.

Can I Bend Stainless Insect Mesh?

Yes, it is easy to bend this mesh by hand. The wires are 0.28mm and the openings are 1mm. Consequently the wire to hole ratio is low, which means that the mesh is light and easy to manipulate.

Can I Paint Stainless Insect Mesh?

Yes, you can paint stainless steel woven insect mesh, but it is important to follow specific guidelines to ensure that the paint adheres properly and does not compromise the effectiveness of the mesh.

Here are some tips for painting stainless steel woven insect mesh:

1. Choose the right paint: Use a paint that is specifically formulated for use with stainless steel. Some paints may not adhere properly to stainless steel or may wear off quickly.
2. Clean the mesh: Before painting, clean the mesh thoroughly to remove any dirt, debris, or oils that may prevent the paint from adhering. Use a mild detergent and water to clean the mesh, and rinse it well to remove all traces of soap.
3. Sand the surface: To help the paint adhere to the mesh, lightly sand the surface of the mesh with a fine-grit sandpaper. This will create a slightly rough surface that the paint can grip onto.
4. Prime the mesh: Apply a high-quality metal primer to the mesh to create a base layer that the paint can adhere to. Make sure the primer is specifically formulated for use with stainless steel.
5. Apply the paint: Once the primer has dried, apply the paint to the mesh using a brush or spray can. Apply thin, even coats, and allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next.
6. Consider a clear coat: To further protect the paint and the mesh, consider applying a clear coat over the top of the paint. This will create an additional layer of protection against weathering, corrosion, and other environmental factors.

Can You Patch Up A Fly Screen?

Yes, it is possible to patch up a fly screen that has been damaged or torn. Here are some steps to follow:

1. Remove the damaged section: If the damage is confined to a small area, you may be able to cut out the damaged section using a pair of scissors or a sharp knife. If the damage is more extensive, you may need to replace the entire screen.
2. Measure the opening: Measure the size of the hole or tear in the screen to determine the size of the patch needed. Cut a piece of patching material that is slightly larger than the hole.
3. Attach the patch: Using a patch kit or adhesive, attach the patch to the screen. Make sure the patch is centered over the hole and that there are no gaps between the patch and the screen. Follow the instructions that come with the patching material to ensure proper adhesion.
4. Allow to dry: If using an adhesive, allow the patch to dry completely before handling the screen. This may take several hours or overnight.
5. Reinstall the screen: Once the patch has dried, reinstall the screen into the window or door frame.
