Materials
Stainless Steel Mesh Security Window Fly Screens are made from high-grade materials for long-lasting performance:
- 304 Stainless Steel: The most common choice, offering excellent corrosion resistance and strength for most residential and commercial applications.
- 316 Stainless Steel: Provides superior corrosion resistance, mainly for marine and coastal environments.
- 316L Stainless Steel: An extra-low carbon version of 316 stainless steel, enhanced weldability and corrosion resistance.
- 430 Stainless Steel: A cost-effective option with good corrosion and heat resistance, suitable for interior use.
Material Selection Tip: Consider the environment where the mesh screens will be used. For example, 304 stainless steel is sufficient for most homes, while 316 is preferable for coastal areas.
Mesh Count
This refers to the number of openings per linear inch. Common counts include:
- 20 mesh (finer mesh for small insects)
- 18 mesh (standard for residential use)
- 16 mesh (balance between visibility and insect protection)
- 14 mesh (higher durability and strength)
Weave Types
- Plain Weave: Most common, good strength and uniformity.
- Twill Weave: Higher strength and flexibility, ideal for heavy-duty applications.
- Dutch Weave: Tighter weave for excellent filtration and high security.
Wire Diameter
Wire diameter is related to strength and transparency of the security screen. Common Diameters:
- 0.009 inches (0.229 mm)
- 0.011 inches (0.279 mm)
- 0.013 inches (0.330 mm)
These diameters offer a good balance, allowing for effective insect protection while maintaining a clear view out.
Open Area Percentage of Security Window Screen: Determines light and air passage
- 64% – Standard residential window screens
- 58% – Higher security screen applications
- 70% – Maximum visibility and ventilation
Shape
- Stainless Steel Mesh Security Window Fly Screens are typically available in rectangular shapes to fit standard window and door frames.
Operating Temperature
- Stainless steel screens can operate effectively in a wide range of temperatures, typically from -100°F to 1500°F (-73°C to 816°C), suitable for various environmental conditions.
Full Roll Length
Full rolls of stainless steel mesh are usually available in lengths of:
- 100 feet (30.48 meters)
- 200 feet (60.96 meters)
Full Roll Width
Standard roll widths for stainless steel mesh screens include:
- 24 inches (610 mm)
- 36 inches (914 mm)
- 48 inches (1219 mm)
- 60 inches (1524 mm)
- 72 inches (1829 mm)
Tolerance
- The tolerance for stainless steel mesh rolls typically ranges from ±1% to ±3%, ensuring precision in cut-to-size applications.
Typical Standards
Stainless Steel Mesh Security Window Screens are manufactured according to international standards:
- ASTM E2016 for stainless steel wire cloth
- ISO 9044 for industrial wire screens
Finishing
The finishing of stainless steel mesh screens enhances product appearance and performance:
- Electropolishing: Provides a smooth, shiny finish and enhances corrosion resistance.
- Passivation: Removes surface contaminants and improves the natural oxide layer, increasing corrosion resistance.
Surface Treatment
- Powder Coating: Adds color and additional protection against corrosion.
PVC Coating: Protective layer enhancing durability and ease of cleaning.

Packaging
Stainless steel mesh screens are packaged to ensure safe transport and storage:
- Rolled in protective plastic sheeting
- Secured with sturdy cardboard tubes
- Packed in wooden crates or pallets for large orders
