How to Specify Window & Insect Screen Mesh

  • Mesh: 16–18 mesh stops most flying insects; 20 mesh for no-see-ums.
  • Material: SS304/316 for durability; aluminum for economy.
  • Finish: Black-coated mesh improves outward visibility.

Materials

Standard supply is stainless steel 304, stainless steel 316/316L; the material column in the table and the drawing options show the exact grade for each size. Other alloys and finishes can be quoted to your drawing.

Fitting & Care

  • Tension the mesh evenly in a spline or clamp frame.
  • Seal frame edges so insects cannot bypass the screen.

Common Mistakes

  • Choosing 14 mesh where small insects are a problem.
  • Using aluminum mesh in coastal air.

When Window & Insect Screen Mesh Is Not the Right Choice

Not a security or anti-cut screen — use heavy stainless security mesh for that.
