Why does the mesh matter?
The screen frame holds the mesh, but it is the mesh that decides whether flies, dust or pollen get through. By changing the mesh while keeping the same frame, you can completely change what your insect screen does.
Main types of mesh
Fibreglass and polyester mesh (standard mesh)
The most common type of mesh. It stops flies and mosquitoes, hardly blocks the air at all and is economical. It does not hold back dust or pollen.
Pet mesh
Thick-threaded, coated and tear-resistant. It is chosen in homes with pets. For dust and pollen it is no different from standard mesh; its thicker thread reduces the view a little.
Pollen mesh
Mesh that is more tightly woven than standard mesh or electrostatically charged. It holds back some of the larger pollen. Its effect on fine dust is limited.
Nanofiber window filter
Not a woven mesh but a three-layer membrane. Thanks to the nanofiber web in the middle it holds back dust, pollen and tiny insects together while letting air through. It is washable and does not fray when cut. How does it work?
