Technical Specification - Standard Fibreglass Insect Mesh
Standard Fibreglass Insect Mesh
The most widely used type of INSECT MESH
is made of fibreglass. It is robust, waterproof, and easy to work with due to
it being pliable and simple to cut.
The standard INSECT MESH (mesh count per square inch = 18x16) is
perfectly acceptable for most applications, however, if additional protection
from midges is required (i.e., Scotland) then GENUINE MIDGE MESH (mesh
count per square inch = 30x20) should be considered.
INSECT MESH is available in either grey or charcoal, with charcoal
becoming increasingly popular as it is easier to see through from the inside
and less visible from the outside.
