Comparison, and Catalog of various Insect Screens

More durable than fiberglass, Aluminum Insect Screens are resistant to rust and corrosion, making them a longer-lasting choice. They are slightly more rigid, which makes them a bit more challenging to install than fiberglass, but they offer superior strength and can withstand harsher environmental conditions. Suitable for areas with more wear and tear.

This type of screen stands out for its aesthetic appeal and functionality. The pleated design allows for easy retraction and flexibility, making it ideal for both doors and windows. While not as robust as metal screens, they offer a balance between durability and decorative appeal, and are easier to handle than traditional flat screens.

Known for their strength and longevity, Galvanized Insect Screens are steel screens coated with zinc to prevent rust. They are more robust than fiberglass and aluminum, making them suitable for high-traffic areas. However, they can be heavier and require more effort in installation. Ideal for industrial or commercial applications where durability is paramount.

The stainless insect screen is crafted from stainless steel wire woven in a plain weave pattern. With the addition of Mo (2 – 3%), it gains enhanced toughness and durability. 316L stainless steel showcases resilience against aggressive erosion in industrial, marine, and atmospheric conditions.

These screens integrate security features with insect protection. They are usually made of stronger materials and are often connected to an alarm system to alert against breaches. They offer higher security compared to other screens but are more complex to install and maintain.

Offering the highest level of durability and security, these screens are made from stainless steel, which is resistant to rust, corrosion, and physical damage. They are ideal for areas requiring maximum security and protection from insects. The material makes them the most durable option, though also the most costly and challenging to install.
