FAQs For This Product
White Fibreglass vs Aluminium Insect Screen
Aluminium and fibreglass are two common materials used for insect screens, and each has its own unique advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages of Aluminium Insect Screen:
- Lightweight: It is much lighter than fibreglass, making it easier to handle and install.
- Rust-resistant: Aluminium does not rust or corrode, making it a suitable material for use in areas with high humidity or frequent exposure to moisture.
- Low maintenance: It is a low-maintenance material that does not require regular cleaning or treatment to maintain its appearance.
Advantages of Fibreglass Insect Screen:
- Durable: It is a strong and flexible material that is resistant to tears, punctures, and other forms of damage.
- Weather-resistant: It is resistant to moisture, UV light, and other weather-related factors, making it a suitable material for outdoor use.
- Cost-effective: It is generally less expensive than aluminium, making it a more budget-friendly option for insect screens.
Ultimately, the choice between aluminium and fibreglass insect screens will depend on individual needs and preferences. Both materials can be effective for preventing insects and other pests from entering indoor and outdoor spaces, and both offer their own unique benefits and disadvantages.
Where Is The Insect Mesh Located In A Soffit Vent?
In a soffit vent, the insect mesh is typically located on the inside surface of the vent, directly behind the slotted or perforated openings that allow air to circulate. The purpose of the insect mesh is to keep insects, such as flies, mosquitoes, wasps, and spiders, from entering the vent and potentially creating nests or interfering with proper air flow.
The insect mesh is usually made of a strong, flexible material, such as fibreglass or aluminium, and is designed to provide a barrier against unwanted insects to pass through while still allowing air to circulate freely through the vent. The mesh can be either permanently attached to the vent or have removable bonds for when you want to clean, depending on the design of the soffit vent.
Can Insects Get Through Window Screens?
Some insects can get through window screens, depending on the size and type of mesh used. Most common window screens are made with a mesh size of 18 x 16 or smaller, which is effective for keeping out larger insects such as flies and mosquitoes. However, smaller insects, such as ants, may be able to get through the mesh.
To reduce the likelihood of insects getting through window screens, it’s important to choose a screen material that has a fine mesh, such as fibreglass or aluminium, and to make sure the screens are properly installed and maintained. If you live in an area with particularly high insect populations, you may also want to consider using additional measures, such as installing screens with a tighter mesh or using insecticides to control insect populations near your windows.
