Door and Window Insect Screens

Window Screening is the most popular usage of woven wire cloth.  This screen specification group includes the following product identification terminology:

Fly Screen     Insect Screen     Security Screen

The first two terms, "Fly Screen" and "Insect Screen" are basically the same with the most significant difference being the exclusion size.  More specifically, the selected screen should have apertures (openings) slightly smaller than the critter to be excluded.

Another aspect to consider is the type of material utilized to weave the screen.  Selecting the correct material involves consideration of the particular application such as the ease of installation, potential of abuse or accidental damage, environmental considerations, desired life expectancy and aesthetics.
