Product Spotlights
As a professional manufacturer with over 25 years of experience in wire mesh production, Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory proudly presents our High Visibility Insect Screen Mesh for greenhouse ventilation. Crafted from premium 304 stainless steel with a precise 18x16 mesh count, this screen offers an optimal balance of insect protection and airflow. Its high visibility design ensures minimal obstruction to natural light, making it an ideal choice for modern greenhouses where crop health and ventilation efficiency are priorities.
Our mesh is engineered to withstand harsh outdoor conditions, including UV exposure, moisture, and temperature fluctuations, without rusting or degrading. The 304 stainless steel material provides excellent corrosion resistance, ensuring long-term durability even in humid greenhouse environments. The 18x16 mesh opening size (approximately 1.0mm x 1.2mm) effectively blocks common pests like aphids, whiteflies, and thrips while allowing sufficient air circulation for proper ventilation.
Whether you are building a new greenhouse or upgrading an existing ventilation system, our high visibility insect screen mesh delivers reliable performance year after year. Below are the key technical specifications and benefits.

- Strength & Tear Resistance: Stainless steel wires are much stronger than aluminum or fiberglass, making the mesh resistant to tearing from wind, birds, or accidental impacts.
- Temperature Tolerance: Can withstand extreme temperatures from -40°C to 200°C without deformation or loss of performance.
- Eco-Friendly & Recyclable: 304 stainless steel is 100% recyclable, contributing to sustainable greenhouse operations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the difference between 304 and 316 stainless steel insect screen?
A: 304 stainless steel is the standard grade for most greenhouse applications, offering excellent corrosion resistance and durability. 316 stainless steel contains molybdenum, providing even higher resistance to chlorides and acidic environments. For typical greenhouse ventilation, 304 is sufficient and cost-effective.
Q2: Can this mesh be used for windows or doors in residential buildings?
A: Yes, absolutely. The high visibility and strength of 304 stainless steel make it an excellent choice for window screens, balcony enclosures, and pet doors, offering long-lasting protection against insects without obstructing the view.
Q3: How do I clean the stainless steel insect screen?
A: Cleaning is easy. Use a soft brush or sponge with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or steel wool to prevent scratching the surface.
Q4: What is the typical lifespan of this mesh in a greenhouse?
A: With proper installation and maintenance, 304 stainless steel insect screen can last 10–15 years or more in most greenhouse environments. It is resistant to UV degradation, rust, and corrosion.
Q5: Can I get a sample before placing a bulk order?
A: Yes, we offer free samples for qualified customers. Please contact our sales team with your shipping details, and we will arrange a sample roll (A4 size or small piece) for evaluation.
Q6: Does the 18x16 mesh keep out very small insects like thrips?
A: Yes, the 18x16 mesh opening size (approx. 1.0mm x 1.2mm) is small enough to block most common greenhouse pests, including thrips, aphids, and whiteflies. For extremely tiny insects like fungus gnats, a finer mesh (e.g., 20x20 or 30x30) may be recommended.
Q7: How is the mesh packaged for export?
A: Our mesh is rolled onto cardboard tubes, wrapped in protective plastic, and packed in cartons or wooden pallets depending on the quantity. Each roll is labeled with specifications for easy identification.
Q8: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: Our standard MOQ is 100 square meters per size, but we can accommodate smaller trial orders for new customers. Contact us for details.
