Product Spotlights
As a leading manufacturer since 1998, Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory introduces our premium Galvanized Steel Window Screen Mesh in 16x16 mesh with 0.013" wire diameter, designed for heavy-duty security applications. With over two decades of expertise and an annual export value of US$5–10 million, we ensure every roll meets rigorous quality standards for strength, durability, and corrosion resistance. This mesh is the ideal choice for residential and commercial window screens, offering robust protection against insects and intruders while maintaining excellent visibility and airflow.

Why Choose Our Heavy Duty Security Screen Mesh?
This product is specifically engineered for heavy-duty security. The thicker wire (0.013") compared to standard window screen mesh (typically 0.011" or 0.009") makes it significantly harder to cut or break. Combined with the fine 16x16 mesh count, it effectively blocks even the smallest insects while allowing natural light and air to flow freely. The galvanized coating ensures long-lasting protection against rust and corrosion, even in humid or coastal environments.
For installers and contractors, this mesh is easy to work with: it can be cut with standard shears, stretched in a frame, and secured with staples or spline. The flexibility of the material reduces the risk of kinking or warping during installation. End-users will appreciate the maintenance-free nature – a simple occasional rinse with water keeps it looking new.
We also offer customization options including different widths, lengths, and packaging (rolls, flat sheets, or pre-cut panels). Bulk orders are welcomed, and we can accommodate special requirements for large projects.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the difference between 16x16 mesh and 18x18 mesh?
A: 16x16 has 16 openings per inch in each direction, offering slightly larger openings (about 0.047 inch) than 18x18 (0.033 inch). 16x16 allows more airflow and light while still blocking most insects; 18x18 is finer but reduces visibility. For heavy-duty security, 16x16 with thicker wire is the preferred choice.
Q2: Can this mesh be used for doors or other applications?
A: Yes, it is suitable for security doors, porch screens, greenhouse vents, and even animal enclosures. The heavy-duty wire provides extra strength for high-traffic areas.
Q3: How do I install this screen mesh?
A: Installation is similar to standard window screen: cut the mesh to size, stretch it over the frame, and secure with spline or staples. For best results, use a screen roller tool. Detailed installation instructions can be provided upon request.
Q4: Is the galvanized coating safe for pets and plants?
A: Yes, the zinc coating is non-toxic and safe for use around pets, children, and plants. It is commonly used in agricultural and residential applications.
Q5: What is the typical lifespan of this mesh?
A: Under normal conditions, hot-dip galvanized mesh can last 10–15 years or more without significant rust. The heavy-duty wire also resists mechanical damage, extending its useful life.
Q6: Do you offer samples?
A: Yes, we provide free samples (customer pays shipping) for quality evaluation. Contact us with your requirements and address.
Q7: Can I get custom sizes?
A: Absolutely. We can produce any width from 24 to 72 inches and any length up to 200 feet per roll. Custom dimensions are welcome for both small and large orders.
Q8: How is the mesh packaged for export?
A: Each roll is wrapped in kraft paper, then plastic film, and finally packed in strong woven bags or wooden pallets for container loading. Custom packaging is available upon request.
