Choose the Right Mesh Size
Choose the Right Mesh Size for Window Screen Installation
Selecting the appropriate mesh size for your window screens is crucial to ensure effective protection against insects and maintain optimal airflow. The ideal mesh size depends on various factors, including the type of insects prevalent in your area, the desired level of airflow, and the durability required.
Factors to Consider
- Insect Type: Smaller meshes (18-20 mesh) are more effective at blocking tiny insects like mosquitoes and no-see-ums, while larger meshes (6-8 mesh) provide better protection against larger insects like wasps and hornets.
- Airflow: Smaller meshes restrict airflow more than larger meshes. Choose a mesh size that balances insect protection with adequate airflow for your home's comfort.
- Durability: Fiberglass meshes are more durable than aluminum meshes but may become brittle over time. Aluminum meshes are more resistant to corrosion and can withstand harsh conditions better.
Mesh Size Options
Window screens come in various mesh sizes, typically ranging from 6 mesh (largest) to 20 mesh (smallest):
-
6-8 mesh: Ideal for large insects, such as wasps and hornets.
-
10-12 mesh: Protects against most insects, including flies and ants.
-
14-16 mesh: Provides good protection against smaller insects, such as mosquitoes.
-
18-20 mesh: Highly effective against tiny insects, including no-see-ums.
Recommendation
For most residential applications, a mesh size of 14-16 mesh is recommended as it provides adequate insect protection without significantly restricting airflow. However, in areas with a high prevalence of smaller insects, consider using a 18-20 mesh to enhance protection.
