Fly screens for doors and windows keep out unwanted flying insects such as mosquitoes, midges and moths, even at night when your lights are on. They let the fresh air in and do not block out natural sunlight or reduce visibility.
Fit insect screens in your home, office, caravan, tent, boat, greenhouse, car, gazebo, children’s playhouse or anything else that needs protection from nuisance insects. Screens are often used for commercial purposes in restaurants and kitchen areas to comply with health and safety regulations.
Fly screens are made with tightly woven mesh material that flying insects are unable to squeeze through. You can buy grey, black, white or charcoal-coloured mesh by the roll and by the metre. Use it to make your own insect screens or to repair damage. Different types of insect mesh are available for different purposes.
Popular types of insect screen mesh include:
· Standard fibreglass mesh – Standard fibreglass mesh is the most widely used mesh and is appropriate for most insect screening needs. It is easy to cut, pliable and waterproof. Standard fibreglass mesh has a mesh count of 18 x 16 threads per square inch.
· Midge mesh – Midge mesh is also made from easy-to-work-with fibreglass material. It is a more specialised type of mesh with a tighter weave, which keeps out the tiniest of insects such as midges and thunder flies. Midge mesh may be more appropriate than standard mesh in places such as Scotland, which is renowned for its high midge populations. Midge mesh has a higher mesh count of around 20 x 20 threads per square inch.
· Stainless steel mesh – Stainless steel mesh is more robust and durable than standard insect mesh and is a good choice for commercial and industrial environments, or where pets are present. Stainless steel mesh has a mesh count of 18 x 14 threads per square inch.
