FAQs For This Product

What Size Mesh Keeps Bugs Out?

The size of the woven mesh required to keep bugs out depends on the type of insects that you are trying to keep out. In general, the mesh size should be small enough to prevent the insects from passing through while still allowing for adequate air flow. This is why our range of insect mesh is so popular.

Here are some common mesh sizes for insect screen mesh and the type of insects they can keep out:

• 18 x 16 mesh: This mesh size has 18 wires per inch in one direction and 16 wires per inch in the other direction, which creates rectangular openings of approximately 1.31mm x 1.13mm. This size of mesh can keep out mosquitoes, flies, bees, wasps, and other common insects. We stock it in affordable aluminium and fibreglass options.
• 16 mesh: This mesh size has 16 wires per inch in both directions, which creates square openings of approximately 1mm x 1mm. This size of mesh can keep out smaller insects such as gnats, no-see-ums, and sand flies. We offer this stainless steel and galvanised steel options. Both are long lasting and have a lifespan of around 25 years in the right conditions.
• 30 mesh: This mesh size has 30 wires per inch in both directions, which creates square openings of approximately 0.6mm x 0.6mm. This size of mesh can keep out very small insects such as thrips and parasitic wasps. We also stock this mesh in stainless steel and galvanised steel.

Does This Insect Screen Mesh Block UV Rays?

Stainless steel insect screen mesh with a 1mm hole size can partially block UV rays but it is not 100% effective in blocking them. The amount of UV radiation that is blocked depends on the thickness of the mesh, the specific alloy of the stainless steel, and the amount and wavelength of the UV radiation.

Generally, stainless steel mesh can block about 30-50% of UV radiation, which can be helpful in reducing the amount of UV rays that enter through windows and doors. However, if UV protection is a primary concern, there are other materials such as UV-resistant fiberglass or PVC-coated polyester mesh that are more effective at blocking UV rays.

Is This Mesh Suitable For Outdoor Use?

Yes, stainless steel insect mesh is suitable for outdoor use. Stainless steel is a highly durable and corrosion-resistant material that can withstand exposure to harsh weather conditions, moisture, and UV radiation without deteriorating or rusting. We suggest using 316 grade if your mesh is going to be used in coastal, marine or food grade applications.

Stainless steel insect mesh is commonly used in a variety of outdoor applications such as windows, doors, porches, and patios to prevent insects and pests from entering while allowing for proper air flow. Additionally, stainless steel insect mesh is easy to clean and maintain, which can help to prolong its lifespan and keep it looking new.

What Is The Return Policy For The Insect Screen Mesh?

We have a 28 day returns policy for all materials as long as they’re unused.
