How to Choose the Right Insect Screening？
In daily life, insect screens play a crucial role. They can not only block mosquitoes and insects but also ensure indoor ventilation and lighting. As a professional fiberglass mesh manufacturer, JINDI is here today to share some practical tips on choosing insect screens.
1. Material Determines Quality
There is a wide variety of materials for insect - proof screens. Common ones include stainless steel, plastic, and fiberglass.
Stainless - steel screens have high strength, corrosion resistance, and a long service life, making them suitable for places with high-level protection requirements.
Plastic screens have a lower cost, but their durability is poor, and they are prone to aging and deformation.
Fiberglass screens, on the other hand, have excellent comprehensive performance. They are made of glass fiber as the base material and have undergone special surface treatment.They have good flexibility, as well as characteristics such as anti-aging, flame-retardant, and acid-and-alkali resistance. Moreover, their price is moderate,making them an ideal choice for most families and places.
2. Mesh Count Affects Insect - Proof Effect
Mesh count is an indicator to measure the density of the screen. It refers to the number of mesh holes per square inch. The larger the mesh count, the finer the mesh holes, and the better the insect - proof effect. However, at the same time, an overly large mesh count will also affect the ventilation effect. Generally speaking, for family insect - proof screens, a mesh count of 16 - 18 is more appropriate. It can not only effectively block mosquitoes and insects but also ensure the normal circulation of indoor air. In areas with a large number of mosquitoes and insects or places with extremely high insect - proof requirements, the mesh count can be appropriately increased.
3. Yarn Diameter is Related to Durability
The diameter of coated yarn is the diameter of the screen wire. The thicker the wire diameter, the higher the strength and durability of the screen. When choosing, the wire diameter should be determined according to the actual use environment and needs. For daily family use, a wire diameter of 0.2 - 0.3mm can basically meet the requirements. If it is installed in a position that is often exposed to wind, sun, and external force impacts, it is recommended to choose a screen with a thicker wire diameter to extend its service life.
4. Appearance Details Should Not be Ignored
High-quality insect screens should have a smooth surface, without broken wires, burrs, rust spots, and other defects.The mesh holes should be uniform, the edges should be neat, and there should be no edge-off or edge-scattering phenomena. During installation, ensure that the screen fits closely to the window frame and is firmly fixed to avoid gaps that may affect the insect-proof effect.
5. Brands and After-sales Service Provide Assurance
Choosing insect screens from well-known brands or professional manufacturers to ensure better quality and after-sales service. Big brands usually have strict production standards and quality inspection systems, and the product quality is stable and reliable.At the same time, a complete after-sales service can enable you to get timely solutions when problems occur during use. When purchasing, pay attention to checking relevant documents such as product quality inspection reports and certificates to ensure that the product meets national standards.
When choosing an insect-proof screen, factors such as material, mesh count, wire diameter, appearance, screen brand and after-sales service should be comprehensively considered. I hope that the above introduction can help everyone select a suitable insect-proof screen and create a comfortable and mosquito-free environment for life.
