Because of the unknown climate, environmental and physical exposures that insect screens can be subjected to, we cannot quantify a life expectancy. This mesh is engineered, lab tested and manufactured with quality ingredients, including ultraviolet inhibitors, that provide maximum longevity in normal circumstances.
