- Easy Installation & Maintenance: Flexible yet sturdy, this mesh can be easily cut, stretched, and fitted into standard screen frames or custom frames. Minimal maintenance required – simply wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Customizable Dimensions: Available in various widths (1m, 1.2m, 1.5m) and lengths (30m, 50m, 100m). Custom sizes and wire diameters can be produced upon request to meet your specific project needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the difference between 304 and 316 stainless steel insect screen?
A: 316 stainless steel contains molybdenum, which provides superior resistance to corrosion from saltwater, chlorides, and acidic environments. It is recommended for coastal areas, high-humidity regions, and industrial applications where 304 may rust over time.
Q2: Can I cut the mesh to size myself?
A: Yes, the mesh is flexible and can be easily cut with standard scissors or utility knives. For best results, use sharp cutting tools and wear gloves to protect your hands.
Q3: Is this mesh suitable for pet doors or high-traffic areas?
A: Absolutely. The stainless steel construction is much stronger than fiberglass or aluminum mesh, making it resistant to scratches and punctures from pets. It is ideal for areas that require durability.
Q4: What is the mesh count and how does it affect insect prevention?
A: Our mesh has 18 openings per inch in the warp direction and 16 in the weft direction. This fine weave effectively blocks common household insects like mosquitoes, flies, and gnats, while still allowing adequate airflow and natural light.
Q5: Do you offer custom sizes or colors?
A: Yes, custom widths, lengths, and wire diameters are available upon request. We also offer a black color option (powder-coated) for improved visibility and aesthetics. Please contact our sales team with your requirements.
Q6: How long does the mesh last before needing replacement?
A: With proper installation, 316 stainless steel insect screen can last 15-20 years or more, depending on environmental conditions. It does not rust, rot, or degrade under UV exposure, making it a long-term investment.
Q7: Is the mesh fire-resistant?
A: Yes, stainless steel is non-flammable and can withstand high temperatures. This makes it suitable for use near fireplaces, outdoor kitchens, or industrial areas where fire safety is a concern.
Q8: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: Our MOQ for standard rolls is 500 square meters. For custom sizes or samples, please inquire directly – we are flexible to accommodate your project needs.
