A mesh screen is a material that is formed in a grid and made up of fibers of plastic, metal, or other materials. Mesh screens have various uses and applications but are commonly used to allow air flow into an opening without bugs going through the mesh. Bug mesh screens can be made for doors, windows, and large openings to allow fresh air into your home while keeping pesky bugs outside. Mesh screens can be very versatile and depending on the application they will come in different grid sizes, materials, and thickness.

Mesh screens add many benefits to your home, the main function of a mesh screen is to allow fresh air to come into your home without allowing pesky bugs and critters inside. Allowing fresh air into your home with mesh screens will naturally ventilate your home, cooling it in the process. Mesh screens are a great alternative to AC systems as they are cost-effective and bring fresh air inside without the use of cooling chemicals!
Mesh screens are a great way to keep insects and pests out of your home or outdoor living space. The mesh screen grid is manufactured to be small enough to not allow bugs and pests through, but still open enough to let fresh air into the opening. Bug mesh screens can be made with tighter weaves of the grid depending on what types of bugs you are trying to keep out.
Mesh screen that is made of metal can be a great way to let fresh air inside your home while also protecting it from being broken into. Some security doors have the option to have a mesh screen installed to let fresh air inside, the metal mesh screen is cut resistant so you can rest assured that an intruder won&#;t be able to break through the mesh to get into your home.
Mesh screen is a great way to let fresh air into your home while keeping the elements outside. By having a mesh screen installed on your doors and windows you will create cross-ventilation in your home which will naturally cool your living space. Mesh screen will bring the benefits of the outdoors inside while keeping the negatives outside!
Mesh screens can offer different levels of sunlight and UV protection depending on the material, thickness, and how tight the mesh weave is. Mesh screens provide shading by reducing direct sunlight that comes through the space that you have the screens installed on, which will reduce glare and help keep the space cooler. Depending on the factors mentioned above, the amount of visible light that passes through the mesh screen varies based on the color and thickness of the mesh. The UV protection that a mesh screen offers depends on the material it&#;s made from, the UPF (UV Protection Factor), and what the mesh is coated with.
Privacy mesh screens are the thickest mesh screens that are offered in motorized or large-opening retractable screens. These mesh screens are designed to allow the least amount of light through and often are made with a very dense weave. Privacy mesh screens also offer enhanced UV protection as they reduce the amount of sunlight that will come through your opening that the screens are installed on.
Mesh screens can be made from various materials and serve different purposes depending on the application. The most common material that mesh screens for insect protection are made of is fiberglass as it&#;s lightweight and durable. Insect mesh screens are versatile in how they can be installed on openings and are easy to replace if any damage occurs.
Fiberglass mesh screens are a type of mesh screen that are made from fiberglass strands that are weaved into a pattern and are typically used for insect screens. Fiberglass mesh screens are known for their lightweight features that are strong and durable.
Bronze mesh screens offer good electrical conductivity and are also corrosion-resistant. Copper bronze mesh screens are typically not used for insect screen applications but rather for industrial uses and for electrical conductivity purposes.
Stainless steel mesh screens are durable and resistant to corrosion and high temperatures. A stainless steel mesh screen will serve as good protection for the opening you are installing it on.
When determining which mesh screen is best for your home you will need to weigh a few factors such as mesh size, material, and the needs of your home (insect protection, privacy, solar protection). Figuring out what purpose you want the mesh screen to be used for, will help narrow down your decision. The most common mesh screen type is insect mesh as most homeowners want to bring fresh air into their home without bugs, but solar mesh and privacy mesh are gaining popularity.
The screen mesh size is a crucial factor when deciding which mesh screen you&#;d like to have installed in your home. Typically, standard insect mesh is an 18×16 or 18×14 grid that is best for general use. Fine mesh, or what we call in our retractable screens no-see-um mesh, is used for keeping out smaller insects and is typically a 20×20 mesh grid. Your Mirage dealer will be able to offer you the best screen mesh size and strand size depending on what the application is.
When choosing what material your mesh screens are made of you have a few things to consider. For retractable screens, if you have an animal in your household we suggest using our Tuffscreen which is a vinyl-coated polyester screen that is scratch-resistant. Our standard screen is a polyester mesh that isn&#;t coated, but will still be durable. For homeowners looking for privacy or sun protection, our solar and privacy meshes are a great option, speak to your local Mirage dealer about the option of having privacy or solar mesh installed in your retractable screens.
Measuring the size of your opening that you will have mesh screens installed on is crucial and needs to be done accurately. Some people may be able to take accurate measurements and give that information to the company that will build your screens, but we suggest that you contact your local Mirage dealer for assistance. Most Mirage retractable screen dealers will travel to your home for a consultation to measure the right mesh screen size for your patio and large opening screens.

The perfect mesh screen for your home depends on what you want to get out of it. If you are solely trying to reduce bugs and pests from entering your home then an insect mesh screen will be your best option. If you are trying to add solar protection to your outdoor patio then a solar mesh screen would be your best option. If you are trying to add more privacy to the opening you are interested in having a screen installed on then a privacy mesh screen would be your best option. Your local Mirage dealer will help you find the perfect mesh screen solution for your home based on your needs! You can find your local Mirage dealer by visiting our dealer locator.
Welcome back to the Metro Screenworks blog! Though there is much difficulty that is facing our world right now, one small piece of positivity is that spring is just around the corner &#; warmer temperatures, longer days, fresh air, and more opportunities to spend time outside. Flowers, plants, and trees will begin to bloom turning the brown winter scene out many of our windows into a lush, green landscape. The only downside to all of this beautiful life outside is the allergies that they bring.
For more information, please visit window screen mesh for filtration.
In our last blog post &#;What Are Allergies?,&#; we discussed what allergies actually are. Many people are familiar with the symptoms, but it may be a safe assumption to make that many in the public don&#;t understand what is happening in the body to cause allergies. Allergies, explained simply, are our bodies&#; immune system&#;s reaction to certain harmless substances. When our body comes in contact with these allergens, a chemical called histamines are produced, which cause all of the symptoms of allergies (runny nose, itchy eyes, etc.). To learn more about allergies, check out our last post!
Allergies are our bodies&#; immune system&#;s reaction to certain harmless substances.
You may be wondering why, of all things, a window screen company is talking about allergies. Window screens and screen doors just keep insects and other critters out of our home, right? Actually, that isn&#;t the case anymore. Metro Screenworks specializes in providing window screens, screen doors, patio screening systems, and other screen products that do so much more than just keep the bugs out. Some of those benefits that some of our specialty window mesh can offer are air filtration and allergy protection.
The two products that we offer at Metro Screenworks for air filtration benefits and allergy protection are Pollen Guard and Allergy Guard. Both of these window screen types catch pollen and some other substances before they have a chance to find their way inside our homes and buildings. Regular screen only filters out 20% of allergens and other substances. However, pollen screen and window filter screen block 50% and more of pollen and other allergens and pollution, depending on the type of screen you buy.
Pollen screen can help you say &#;goodbye&#; to stale indoor air and the symptoms of allergies that you experience when you go outside. It can allow you to stop having to choose between opening your windows and having a cooler more comfortable house &#; but suffering from allergies &#; or keeping your home sealed up and dealing with the heat and indoor pollution of your home that could also be contributing to your allergies.
With pollen screen, you can enjoy all the benefits of fresh air for your home without having to deal with the consequences of your allergies later.
Pollen Guard is made of small, woven polyester and coated with a substance that catches the pollen and other allergens before they have a chance to blow through the screen. As a result, 50% or more of all the pollen and other allergens that cause allergy symptoms are kept outside where they belong. Pollen screen is the solution for those who suffer from seasonal allergies.
If you are thinking pollen filtering screen is too good to be true, you aren&#;t the first. However, if you watched the demo video from above you can see that the screen actually does catch the substance applied. However, if you want to filter out more than just pollen, Allergy Guard is the window screen material for you!
Allergy Guard is much like pollen screen. However, it can provide you even more benefits due to its enhanced construction. This screen that acts as a window screen filter can block:
To understand how truly revolutionary this product is, we must talk about nanometers. Nanometers is a measurement used to talk about very small particles. A normal screen can block out particles measuring 2,000,000 nanometers. However, Allergy Guard can block out particles 300 nanometers and smaller. This means that this window screen filter screen can filter out some of the smallest particles that are often suspended in the air we breath such as:
Allergy Guard uses 3 layers of mesh to keep pollen and other substances at bay:
The Allergy Guard screen that we sell isn&#;t just a good idea or something that only kinda delivers on its promises: this product really works, and there are test results to prove it.
Together these layers not only provide filtering benefits, but they also offer:
Even though it may seem that these benefits would make seeing through the screen and air flow limited, it actually has no effect on visibility or air flow effectiveness.
If you are convinced that you must invest in air filtration screens for your home or business, your next question may be now, which one do you choose &#; Pollen Guard or Allergy Guard?
Both types offer benefits and so, no matter what you choose to invest in, you will undoubtedly enjoy a nearly allergy-free experience. However, Allergy Guard can provide you many more additional benefits that can make the extra cost (yes, Allergy Guard is a little more expensive than Pollen Guard) well worth it. These screens will last a long time, making your investment in your new window screens truly a long-term investment.
