Product Overview
This PET insect screen mesh combines the durability of synthetic fiber with a precisely engineered 18x16 mesh count (18 wires per inch in warp and 16 in weft), offering an optimal balance between airflow, visibility, and insect exclusion.

Key Features & Benefits
- Fire Retardant Performance: Treated with a special flame-retardant additive that reduces flammability, complies with many international building fire codes. Note: Specific certification levels available upon request.
- Excellent Insect Protection: The 18x16 mesh opening (~1.0mm x 1.2mm) effectively blocks mosquitoes, flies, gnats, and other small insects while maintaining good ventilation.
- High UV Stability: PET material is inherently UV-resistant, preventing yellowing and brittleness even after prolonged sun exposure. Expected service life of 5–8 years under normal conditions.
- Lightweight & Flexible: Easy to cut, install, and frame – suitable for both new construction and retrofit projects. Compatible with standard aluminum, PVC, or wooden frames.
- Clear Visibility: The fine mesh does not obstruct outward views, maintaining aesthetics for balconies and commercial facades.
- Chemical Resistance: Resistant to most household cleaning agents, salt spray, and mild acids – ideal for coastal or industrial environments.
- Customizable Options: Available in various colors (black, grey, white) and roll dimensions (width from 1m to 1.5m, length up to 100m). Custom sizes and packaging are available.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Is this mesh suitable for balcony use in high-rise buildings?
A: Yes, the fire-retardant property makes it especially suitable for balconies in commercial and residential high-rises where fire codes are strict. The 18x16 mesh provides effective insect protection while maintaining outward visibility.
Q2: How long does the fire retardant treatment last?
A: The fire retardant additive is integrated into the PET material during extrusion, so it does not wash off or degrade over time. However, common factors like direct flame exposure or chemical damage may affect performance. For specific fire rating test data, please contact our sales team.
Q3: Can this mesh be used for windows that are frequently opened and closed?
A: Absolutely. The flexible PET yarns are durable and resist tearing from normal window operation. We recommend using a proper frame or spline system to secure the mesh.
Q4: What colors are available?
A: Standard colors are black, grey, and white. Other colors (e.g., charcoal, brown, green) can be produced on request with a minimum order quantity. Please inquire for availability.
Q5: Is there a sample available before bulk order?
A: Yes, we offer free samples (A4 size) for evaluation. You only need to pay the shipping cost. Contact us with your address and requirements.
Q6: How do I install this mesh?
A: Installation is similar to standard insect screens. You can cut the mesh to size and fix it into a frame using a spline roller, adhesive, or staples. For commercial applications, we recommend a professional installation to ensure fire sealing and durability.

A: Our fire retardant mesh has been tested according to common industry standards. Specific certification documents (e.g., ASTM E84, NFPA 701) can be provided upon request and may vary by batch. Please contact us for details.
