For over two decades, Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory has been a trusted manufacturer of high-quality wire mesh solutions. Our 316 Stainless Steel Insect Screen 16x18 Mesh 0.28mm Wire UV Protected for Outdoor Vents is meticulously engineered to provide superior protection against insects while withstanding harsh outdoor conditions. Made from premium-grade 316 stainless steel, this screen offers excellent corrosion resistance and long-term durability, making it the ideal choice for ventilation openings, exhaust vents, and HVAC systems.
Product Features & Technical Specifications
- Premium 316 Stainless Steel Material: Unlike standard 304, 316 stainless steel contains molybdenum, which enhances its resistance to chlorides, saltwater, and acidic environments. This ensures the screen remains rust-free even in coastal or industrial areas.
- 16x18 Mesh Count: The balanced weave density of 16 wires per inch in one direction and 18 per inch in the other provides optimal airflow while effectively blocking mosquitoes, flies, and other small insects.
- 0.28mm Wire Diameter: The wire thickness offers a robust yet flexible structure, capable of withstanding physical impact without tearing or sagging.
- UV Protection Treatment: The screen is specially coated or treated to resist degradation from prolonged sunlight exposure, preventing brittleness and maintaining its integrity for years.
- Outdoor Vent Application: Designed for use in vents, louvers, and exhaust openings, the screen effectively prevents pest entry while allowing continuous ventilation.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: What is the difference between 316 and 304 stainless steel insect screen?
A: 316 stainless steel contains molybdenum, which provides superior resistance to corrosion from chlorides, salt, and acidic environments. It is better suited for coastal areas, chemical plants, and outdoor vents exposed to harsh weather. -
Q: Can this screen be used for windows as well as vents?
A: Yes, while specifically designed for outdoor vents, the 16x18 mesh and 0.28mm wire also work well for window screens. However, the UV protection feature is particularly beneficial for vents that receive direct sunlight. -
Q: How should I clean the screen to maintain its appearance?
A: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water. Rinse with clean water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or strong chemicals that may damage the UV coating. Regular cleaning prevents dirt buildup and maintains airflow. -
Q: Is the UV protection a coating or an inherent property of the stainless steel?
A: The UV protection is achieved through a special surface treatment or coating that stabilizes the material against UV degradation. The base stainless steel itself is inherently corrosion-resistant, but the treatment extends the screen's lifespan under intense sunlight. -
Q: What roll sizes are available?
A: Standard rolls are 1m, 1.2m, or 1.5m wide and 30m long. Custom widths and lengths are available upon request. Please contact our sales team for specific requirements. -
Q: Can the screen be painted or powder-coated?
A: Painting is not recommended as it may clog the mesh openings. The natural silver-gray color of 316 stainless steel is neutral and blends well with most vent exteriors. If a specific color is needed, we can discuss custom options during order negotiation. -
Q: How does the 16x18 mesh compare to other mesh counts like 20x20?
A: 16x18 mesh offers a slightly larger open area (about 55%) compared to 20x20 (about 45%), allowing better airflow. It still effectively blocks common insects. 20x20 is finer but may restrict airflow more. Choose based on your priority between insect prevention and ventilation. -
Q: What is the minimum order quantity?
A: Minimum order quantity varies by product and customization. For standard rolls, we typically require one roll per size. For custom sizes, please inquire with our sales team for specific terms.
