Black fibreglass insect mesh is a type of mesh screen commonly used in windows, doors, and soffit vents to keep insects out while allowing air to flow through.

FAQs For This Product

Is Fibreglass Good For Soffit Vents?

Fibreglass mesh is a good choice for soffit vents as it is durable, lightweight, and resistant to corrosion and weathering. It also has a small enough mesh size to keep out most insects and debris while allowing air to flow through. Additionally, fibreglass mesh is cost-effective and easy to install, making it a popular option for many homeowners and contractors. However, it’s important to ensure that the mesh is properly installed and maintained to prevent any gaps or sagging, which could allow pests to enter attics or crawl spaces.

We have written a detailed article on using black soffit vent mesh. This will provide all the detail that you may need on this material.

Where Is Insect Mesh In Soffit Vent?

Insect mesh is typically located on the underside of the soffit vent, covering the opening to prevent insects and other debris from entering the attic or crawl space.

How To Replace Soffit Vent Mesh?

To replace soffit vent mesh, you can follow these steps:

Remove the damaged or old mesh by prying it off from the soffit using a flathead screwdriver or pliers.
Measure the size of the opening and cut a new piece of insect mesh to fit, leaving a little extra on all sides.
Place the new mesh over the opening and secure it in place using a staple gun or adhesive. Be sure to pull the mesh tight and smooth to prevent any sagging or gaps.
Trim any excess mesh using a utility knife or scissors.
Test the new mesh by blowing air through the vent to ensure it’s securely in place and there are no gaps.

It’s important to ensure the new mesh is the same size and type as the old one to maintain proper ventilation and prevent pests from entering the attic or crawl space.

Fibreglass vs Aluminium Insect Screen?

Fibreglass and aluminium are two common materials used to make insect screens for doors, windows, and vents. Here are some of the key differences between fibreglass and aluminium insect screens:

Strength: Aluminium is generally stronger than fibreglass, making it less prone to dents and tears. This can be an advantage in high-traffic areas or where there is a risk of damage to the screen.
Corrosion resistance: Fibreglass is highly resistant to corrosion, while aluminium is more prone to rust and other forms of corrosion. Fibreglass screens are therefore a better option in coastal areas or other environments where high humidity and salt exposure may be an issue.
Visibility: Aluminium screens are generally more visible than fibreglass screens, which can be a disadvantage for some homeowners. Fibreglass screens are typically darker and less reflective, making them less noticeable and easier to see through.
Cost: Fibreglass screens are generally less expensive than aluminium screens, making them a more budget-friendly option.

Ultimately, the choice between fibreglass and aluminium insect screens will depend on the specific needs of the homeowner and the environment in which the screens will be installed.
