High-Transparency Mesh for Window Screens, 18x16 Mesh, 0.3mm Wire, UV-Stabilized, Keeps Insects Out
Product Spotlights
Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory has been a trusted manufacturer of wire mesh products since 1998. Our High-Transparency Mesh for Window Screens – with 18x16 mesh count, 0.3mm wire diameter, and UV-stabilized treatment – is designed to keep insects out while maintaining excellent visibility and airflow. With over two decades of experience and an annual export value of US$5–10 million, we deliver consistent quality to global markets including North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia.
This premium mesh is engineered for homeowners, contractors, and OEMs who demand maximum transparency without compromising on insect protection. The fine 18x16 weave effectively blocks mosquitoes, flies, and other small pests, while the 0.3mm wire ensures a sturdy yet lightweight structure. UV stabilizers prevent degradation from sunlight, extending the service life even in harsh climates.
Key Features & Benefits
- High Transparency: The open area ratio of approximately 60% allows unobstructed views and natural light, making it ideal for windows that face gardens or scenic areas.
- Effective Insect Barrier: 18x16 mesh per square inch stops even the smallest insects, including no-see-ums, while maintaining good ventilation.
- UV-Stabilized Durability: Special additives protect the mesh from fading, embrittlement, and cracking caused by prolonged sun exposure – meets industry standards for weather resistance.
- Easy Installation: Flexible yet strong, the mesh can be cut and fitted into standard window frames, sliding doors, or custom frames using simple tools.
- Low Maintenance: Smooth surface resists dust accumulation; can be cleaned with mild soap and water.
- Eco-Friendly: Made from recyclable materials (fiberglass, aluminum, or stainless steel options) – safe for family and pets.

Why Choose Our High-Transparency Mesh?
Compared to standard window screens, our 18x16 mesh offers a superior balance between visibility and insect protection. Traditional 16x18 mesh (common in many markets) has a slightly tighter weave, but our 18x16 configuration provides a larger open area while still blocking pests. The 0.3mm wire thickness is carefully chosen to be strong enough for daily use yet thin enough to minimize visual obstruction.
UV stabilization is a critical feature for long-term performance. Non-stabilized meshes can become brittle and discolored within 1–2 years of direct sunlight exposure. Our mesh undergoes rigorous testing to ensure that the UV inhibitors remain effective for the product's lifespan, typically 5–8 years under normal conditions. This translates to lower replacement costs and consistent aesthetics for your home or building.
The mesh is available in multiple materials: fiberglass (most economical, corrosion-free), aluminum (higher strength, rust-proof), and stainless steel (maximum durability, suitable for marine environments). All options are lead-free and safe for use in residential settings.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the difference between 18x16 mesh and standard 16x18 mesh?
Our 18x16 mesh has a slightly larger open area (about 60% vs 55% for 16x18) while still blocking insects. It offers better visibility and airflow, making it ideal for areas where aesthetics and ventilation are priorities. -
Can this mesh be used for pet doors or large openings?
Yes, it is strong enough for standard door screens and large window openings. For heavy-duty applications, we recommend the stainless steel version for extra durability. -
How do I install the mesh?
Installation is simple: cut the mesh to size, stretch it over the frame, and secure it using spline or staples. We provide installation guidelines upon request. For aluminum frames, a rubber spline tool is commonly used. -
Is the mesh resistant to rust or corrosion?
The fiberglass option is completely rust-proof. The aluminum option is also corrosion-resistant, and the stainless steel version offers maximum resistance even in coastal or humid environments. -
What colors are available?
Standard colors are black, gray, and white. Custom colors (e.g., bronze, beige) are available for orders of 500 rolls or more – please contact us to discuss. -
Do you offer samples?
Yes, we provide free samples (A4 size) for testing. Shipping costs are covered by the customer. Samples are dispatched within 3 working days after request. -
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
For standard sizes, the MOQ is 1 roll (30m). For custom widths or colors, the MOQ is 10 rolls. We can accommodate smaller trial orders for new customers. -
