Screening Wire Cloth Specifications

|
|
|
Window Screening
is the most popular usage of woven wire cloth. Also
referred to as "Bug
Screen" or "Fly Screen",
insect screen cloth is manufactured in several types of materials and screen
opening specifications..
|
| The primary
considerations when choosing insect screen: |
| OPENING SIZE |
| The most
significant factor in selecting insect screening is
the exclusion size. More specifically, the selected screen
should have apertures (openings) slightly smaller than the critter to be
excluded. |
| APPEARANCE |
| Generally, insect
screening is intended to look through,...not at. When viewing from
the exterior darker colors are less noticeable. |
| DURABILITY |
| Another aspect to consider is the
type of material utilized to weave the screen. Selecting the correct material
involves consideration of the particular application such as the ease of installation,
potential of abuse or accidental damage, environmental considerations, desired life
expectancy and aesthetics. |
