Product Overview
This 304 stainless steel window screen mesh is designed for home insect protection and ventilation. The 18x16 mesh count offers an optimal balance between keeping out tiny insects (like mosquitoes and flies) and allowing fresh air to circulate freely. Made from high-grade 304 stainless steel, it resists rust, corrosion, and deformation even in humid or coastal environments. Available in customizable widths and lengths, this mesh is ideal for residential windows, sliding doors, and ventilation systems.
Key Features & Advantages
- Premium 304 Stainless Steel: Excellent corrosion resistance, suitable for indoor and outdoor use. No rust stains on window frames.
- 18x16 Mesh Count: Fine enough to block most insects while maintaining good visibility and airflow. Typical hole size is approximately 1.0mm x 1.1mm.
- Durable Construction: Wire diameter of 0.18mm (standard) provides strength without excessive rigidity. Can be easily cut and installed with standard tools.
- Low Maintenance: Smooth surface resists dust accumulation; simple cleaning with water or mild detergent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What is the difference between 18x16 mesh and standard 20x20 mesh?
A: 18x16 mesh has slightly larger openings (approx. 1.0mm) compared to 20x20 (approx. 0.8mm). It offers better airflow and visibility while still blocking most insects. For very tiny insects like midges, a higher mesh count is recommended. -
Q: Can this mesh be used in sliding doors or large openings?
A: Yes, it can be installed in sliding door frames, casement windows, or even custom frames. For larger spans, we recommend using a supporting frame or reinforcing with a spline to prevent sagging. -
Q: Is the mesh easy to cut and install?
A: Absolutely. The mesh is flexible enough to be cut with ordinary scissors or tin snips. It can be secured in standard aluminum or PVC screen frames using a spline roller. -
Q: How do I clean the window screen?
A: Regular cleaning with a soft brush, vacuum, or mild soapy water is sufficient. Avoid abrasive cleaners that may scratch the surface. The stainless steel material is resistant to most cleaning agents. -
Q: Does the 304 stainless steel rust in coastal areas?
A: 304 stainless steel has good corrosion resistance, but in extreme salt-air environments, we recommend periodic rinsing with fresh water. For high-corrosion conditions, 316 stainless steel may be a better choice (available upon request). -
Q: Can I order custom sizes (width and length)?
A: Yes, we offer custom widths from 0.5m to 2.0m and lengths up to 100m per roll. Please contact us with your specific requirements. -
Q: What packaging is used for export?
A: Each roll is wrapped in a poly bag, then packed in a carton or on a pallet, depending on quantity. We can also provide custom packaging with your logo (MOQ applies). -
Q: Do you provide samples before bulk order?
A: Yes, we offer samples (A4 size or small roll) for quality evaluation. Shipping cost is at buyer’s expense, but we can deduct the sample cost from the first order.
