Which mesh do I need ?

We offer two types of mesh with this screen. Your choice will depend on which insects you wish to keep out and the type of use. Both meshes are fully compliant with food safety regulations.

Standard insect mesh - 18 x 16 holes per square inch

Examples of insects this mesh will keep out:Bees & Wasps, Bluebottles, Cluster Flies, Crane Flies, Daddy-Long-Legs, House Flies, Hornets, Ladybirds, Mosquitoes, Moths, Butterflies and Spiders.Standard insect mesh is designed and manufactured to ensure maximum visibility (through the screen) ensuring as much light passes into the room as possible.

We recommend this mesh for all areas of the UK except in parts of Scotland where Midges are present and other parts of the UK where Corn Flies and Thunder Bugs/Thrips are present.

Midge mesh - 30 x 20 holes per square inch

This mesh will keep out:The same as Standard insect mesh + Midges, Corn Flies and Thunder Bugs/Thrips

Midge mesh has a tighter weave than Standard insect mesh to ensure Midges, Corn Flies and Thunder Bugs/Thrips cannot penetrate, however the visibility and airflow is reduced slightly.

We recommend this mesh in parts of Scotland where Midges are present and other parts of the UK where Corn Flies and Thunder Bugs/Thrips are present.Please note - genuine Midge mesh is 30 x 20 - anything less e.g. 20 x 20 or 18 x 16 will not keep midges out.

Stainless steel insect mesh - 18 x 14 holes per square inch

Examples of insects this mesh will keep out:

• Bees & Wasps, Bluebottles, Cluster Fies, Crane Flies, Daddy-Long-Legs, House Flies, Hornets, Ladybirds, Mosquitoes, Moths, Butterflies and Spiders.

Stainless steel insect mesh is highly durable and long lasting which makes it ideal for demanding commercial environments. This mesh is fully compliant with food safety regulations.

We recommend this mesh for screens in commercial kitchens, where regular screen cleaning is required and routine use may result in damage to a standard mesh.

Fixings

Lift on/off hinges with turn buttons

This fixing consists of a 2 part hinge, one part fixes to the edge of the screen and the other to your window frame. Both are screwed in position. The two hinge parts are connected with a pin which means you can lift the screen off the hinge for removal and storage.The screen is held closed with 'turn buttons' as shown in the second image below.The button is turned through 90 degrees to lock/release the screen.

Magnetic strips

This fixing consists of a magnetic strip (brown) and a stainless steel strip (off white) each with a peelable self adhesive back. For a white framed screen, the brown magnetic strip is fixed to the rear of the screen and the stainless steel strip is fitted to the window frame. This is reversed for a brown framed screen. The combination of the magnet and steel strip holds the screen in place. No drilling or screwing is required for this fixing.

Turn Buttons

The screen is held closed with 'turn buttons' placed on all sides of the screen.The button is turned through 90 degrees to lock/release the screen.
