Fly Screens Mesh Roll
Keeping out flies and other insects is easy with our black or grey PVC coated fiberglass fly mesh. It is a strong, clothlike material. To meet a wide variety of applications, we offer a variety of roll widths and lengths.
Insect screens can be produced on these wide rolls, or they can be used as roof coverings. As the mesh is fabric-like, a frame may be necessary as a support to provide rigidity. This is the case with all fly screen material.
By coating the mesh with PVC, the material is not only soft and easy to handle, but it also blends into the background. Black or grey fibreglass is therefore an ideal product for preventing insects from creeping in.

How to install window screen mesh?
For those who are considering fitting some insect screen mesh onto their windows or door, here’s our easy guide on how to do it yourself.
What insect mesh do I need for window fly screen?
Ideally, you will need a fiberglass mesh. Fibreglass mesh is a fabric-like plastic mesh with a coloured PVC coating so it’s waterproof and durable which means the material is long-lasting and can be used outdoors. Fibreglass is also great as it is lightweight and easy to use therefore any project is quick and simple.
What tools do I need to fit insect mesh for windows?
There are a few ways in which you can fit fly mesh screen to your windows, we recommend using detachable bonds such as Velcro or magnets. This is so you can remove the mesh netting in the winter months and replace it in the summer when necessary.
However you can also use more permanent attachments like staples which will require a staple gun or tape. You will also need a pen and scissors which are essential in the next part.
How do you fit the mosquito net to the window?
Firstly, you will need to measure the perimeter of your window using a tape measure. Then with your fiberglass soffit mesh roll, unravel the necessary amount needed to cover the window then mark the corners of the perimeter with a pen. Note that you also need to leave an inch border around the perimeter which allows space for the attachments to bond to the window frame.
Next, you can use scissors to cut around the edge of the border before attaching the magnets or Velcro around the inch border section. Lastly with the window screen mesh, attach the other side of the bonds to the window frame.
If you want to use permanent bonds such as staples or tape, use the staple gun to attach the border to the frame or use double sided tape around the border and stick to the frame.
