Insect Screening
Keep bugs out of your space without blocking airflow or light. When choosing a screen, there are two factors that affect airflow and visibility: mesh size and wire diameter. The higher the mesh size, the smaller the holes. The thicker the wire diameter, the sturdier and tougher the screen. 16 × 18 mesh size with a 0.11" wire diameter is the most common combination—it balances good visibility and airflow with durability.
These screens are made with materials that won’t corrode when exposed to weather. Fiberglass screens are easy to install because they’re flexible and won’t crease or dent. However, they tear and fray more easily than metal screens and can be damaged if exposed to harsh outdoor conditions.
20 × 20 mesh size screens have such small openings that tiny insects, such as gnats and sand flies, can’t get through.

PTFE-Coated Fiberglass Mesh Fabric Sheets
With larger openings than porous fiberglass fabric, these sheets allow for more air circulation in drying applications. The PTFE coating makes them nonstick and chemical resistant.
High-Temperature Expandable Sleeving
Protect cable, hose, and pipe from abrasion and cuts in high temperature environments—this sleeving withstands temperatures over 450° F. It expands to fit over items for easy installation; sleeving then tightens around its contents for a secure fit. The braided construction permits heat and moisture to dissipate.
Fiberglass sleeving withstands continuous exposure to high temperatures better than all our other high-temperature sleeving materials. It resists burning and is often used near ovens and furnaces, or to protect exhaust pipes and tubes in mobile equipment. It also resists acids, alkalies, oil, and solvents. Acrylic-coated fiberglass sleeving is more rigid than uncoated fiberglass sleeving and minimizes fraying when cut. It has good abrasion and chemical resistance.
