FAQs For This Product

How Do I Use This Insect Mesh?

Using insect mesh for a soffit vent is a simple process that involves the following steps:

1. Measure the opening of the soffit vent where you want to install the insect mesh. Cut a piece of insect mesh that is slightly larger than the opening. This allows you some wriggle room on the design, and you can fold down the edges to make the mesh more taught.
2. Position the insect mesh over the opening and use a staple gun or small nails to attach it to the surrounding wood or metal frame.
3. Trim the excess mesh around the edges of the opening with a pair of scissors or a sharp knife. We would use scissors.
4. Inspect the installation to ensure that there are no gaps or holes in the mesh where insects or debris could enter.
5. Clean the mesh periodically to remove any dirt or debris that may accumulate on its surface and potentially restrict airflow. This will happen as the mesh acts like a filter.

Can I Use It For Windows?

Yes, stainless steel insect mesh is a suitable material for use in windows to keep insects out while allowing air to flow freely.

Stainless steel insect mesh is durable, rust-resistant, and can withstand harsh environmental conditions, making it a long-lasting solution for window screens. It also has a fine mesh size that is effective at preventing insects from entering the building, including even the smallest ones like mosquitoes and gnats.

We would suggest either aluminium or fibreglass as the first choice for window screening. This is because both are less costly to produce and the final price reflects that.

Stainless Steel vs Aluminium Insect Mesh

Both stainless steel and aluminium insect mesh have their advantages and disadvantages when it comes to their use as window screens. Here are some key differences between the two materials:

Stainless steel insect mesh:

Advantages:

• Durable and long-lasting
• Resistant to rust and corrosion
• Fine mesh size prevents even the smallest insects from entering
• Can withstand exposure to harsh environmental conditions

Disadvantages:

• More expensive than aluminium mesh
• Heavier than aluminium mesh, which may require additional support for larger screens
• Can be more difficult to work with due to its strength and stiffness

Aluminium insect mesh:

Advantages:

• Lightweight and easy to work with
• Less expensive than stainless steel mesh
• Resistant to rust and corrosion
• Potentially available in a variety of colours

Disadvantages:

• Not as durable as stainless steel mesh
• May be more prone to denting or bending
• May not be as effective at keeping out small insects due to larger mesh size. We would not recommend this for midges or mosquitoes

We would also be happy to recommend aluminium insect mesh because it has proven over the years to be the most popular option overall. However, stainless steel will last longer and is available in a far greater range of options.
