Key Features & Benefits
- Premium 304 Stainless Steel – Contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel, providing excellent resistance to rust, oxidation, and chemical corrosion. Unlike galvanized or aluminum screens, 304 stainless steel does not degrade over time, even in saltwater or acidic environments.
- 18x16 Mesh Count – A balanced mesh density that effectively blocks mosquitoes, flies, and other small insects while allowing maximum airflow and natural light. The 0.011" (0.28mm) wire diameter ensures strength without sacrificing transparency.
- High Tensile Strength – The 0.011" wire diameter delivers a robust structure that resists tearing, sagging, and impact damage. Ideal for high-traffic windows, doors, and even patio enclosures.
- Low Maintenance – Simply wipe clean with a damp cloth. No need for painting, coating, or special treatments. The smooth surface prevents dirt and debris buildup.
- UV & Weather Resistant – Withstands extreme sunlight, rain, and temperature fluctuations without warping or fading. Perfect for long-term outdoor use.

Why Choose Our 304 Stainless Steel Window Screen?

- Versatile Applications – Not just for windows! Use it for door screens, porch enclosures, greenhouse vents, camper windows, and even industrial filtration. Available in custom widths and lengths.
- Easy Installation – Can be cut with standard scissors or shears and fits into standard screen frames. Compatible with spline and rolling tools.
- Eco-Friendly & Recyclable – 304 stainless steel is 100% recyclable, making it a sustainable choice for green building projects.
Quality Assurance
Every roll of our window screen mesh undergoes strict quality control. We test for uniform mesh count, wire diameter tolerance (within ±0.001 inch), and corrosion resistance. Our factory, established in 1998, has over 25 years of wire mesh manufacturing experience. We export to over 15 countries and regions, including North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, and Africa. Our annual export value of US$5-10 million reflects the trust global buyers place in us.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the difference between 18x16 mesh and other mesh counts?
A: 18x16 mesh means 18 wires per inch in the warp direction and 16 wires per inch in the weft. This provides a balanced opening size that blocks most insects while allowing good airflow. Finer meshes (e.g., 20x20) block smaller bugs but reduce airflow; coarser meshes (e.g., 14x14) allow more airflow but may let in small insects. 18x16 is a versatile choice for standard windows.
Q2: Is this screen suitable for coastal areas with high salt content?
A: Yes, 304 stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance against salt spray and humidity. It is far more durable than galvanized or aluminum screens in coastal environments. However, for extreme marine conditions, we recommend our 316 stainless steel option (available upon request).
Q3: Can I cut the mesh to a custom size?
A: Absolutely. The mesh can be easily cut with standard tin snips or heavy-duty scissors. We also provide custom-cut sheets or rolls to your specified dimensions. Please contact our sales team for custom sizes.
Q4: What is the typical packaging for export?
A: Each roll is wrapped in kraft paper or plastic film, then packed in a sturdy carton or on a pallet. We can also offer wooden spools for large orders. Our packaging ensures the mesh arrives without scratches or deformation.
Q5: How do I install this screen mesh?
A: Installation is similar to standard window screens. You need a screen frame, spline, and a spline roller. Cut the mesh slightly larger than the frame, press it into the groove with the spline, and trim the excess. Video tutorials are available upon request.
Q6: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: Our MOQ for standard sizes is 100 square meters. For custom sizes or special packaging, MOQ may vary. Small trial orders are also welcome for sample testing.
Q7: Does this product come with a warranty?
A: We offer a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects. If you experience any issues with mesh integrity or corrosion within that period, we will replace or refund the product. Please refer to our terms and conditions for details.
Q8: Can I get a sample before placing a bulk order?
A: Yes, we provide free samples (courier cost paid by buyer) for quality evaluation. Samples are typically A4-size or 1 square foot. Contact us to request a sample.
