Replacement Flyscreen Mesh | Midge And Pet Screen Mesh | Insect Screen Mesh

Flies, mosquitoes and wasps. It does not stop midges or other no-see-ums, and it is not the grade for cat claws.

That is how Phifer weaves the 18 x 16 standard grade. Dark mesh gives the better outward visibility, which is why the midge grade is black.

The mesh sheet and nothing else. No frame, no hook-and-loop tape, no magnetic strip and no corner pieces, because this is sold for repairs where you already have all of that.

Yes. It is a flat sheet you cut to shape, so it goes on anyone's window or door screen as long as you can hold the edge in whatever your frame uses.

Yes. All three grades are used on screen doors, windows, patios and pool enclosures.

A cutting blade or a strong, sharp pair of scissors. A blunt blade drags the weave rather than cutting it.

Measure the panel you are re-skinning and go up to the next sheet size. Allow a margin at every edge for whatever holds the mesh, and remember you cannot add mesh back.

Yes, and it is usually the cheapest way to do a whole house. Buy the largest sheet and cut it down to each opening.

Start from what went wrong. Torn by a cat means pet mesh. Small insects getting through means midge. Sun-damaged or just old means standard grey is fine.

Standard grey is fibreglass at 18 x 16 and 66% open area. Midge black is fibreglass at 20 x 20 and 45% open, and stops the small biting insects. Pet is vinyl-coated polyester at 10 x 16 and takes claws.

They are non-combustible, and they will not rust, corrode or stain. That is why fibreglass is used for windows, doors, patios and pool enclosures.

The vinyl coating on the glass yarn is what keeps it flexible and holding its shape. It is the reason a coated mesh outlasts a bare nylon one.

It is a sheet of mesh. The method depends entirely on what your existing screen uses to hold the edge, so work to that rather than to a generic instruction.

Yes. Fibreglass mesh is the normal material for a spline-and-groove aluminium screen, and it rolls into the channel in the usual way.

Yes, but you are rebuilding rather than re-skinning, because the edge has to be re-attached. For a velcro screen it is often simpler to buy the panel complete.

Yes. Buy mesh, PVC frame by the metre, corner pieces and magnetic strip or hook-and-loop tape, all sold separately here, and you can build a screen for any opening.

Standard grey is 66% open area and midge 45%. Neither stops a window ventilating, and pet mesh is the most open weave of the three.

Yes. Dark mesh gives the best outward visibility, which is why the midge and pet grades are black.

Only the midge grade, and only a little, in daylight. Do not buy any of these for privacy.

Warm soapy water, then dry it fully before you fit it. Once it is on a screen a damp cloth is enough.

The vinyl coating is what holds the colour, and it is made to keep it. These do not rust, corrode or stain.

Measure the door screen panel and take the next sheet size up. A standard door usually needs the largest sheet.

Yes. Magnetic strip and PVC frame go by the metre and corner pieces go by the set, so every part of a screen can be bought on its own.

Ask. These are cut from roll stock, so an unusual sheet size is a quote rather than a dead end.

Yes. The grades are identical, which is the point: a screen bought here can be re-skinned in exactly what it left with.

Pet mesh will. The other two will not, and a dog will find that out faster than a cat.

The mesh itself is inert and non-combustible. The offcuts and the blade are the parts to keep out of reach while you work.

Allow five to seven days. Demand runs hard through the warm months and we would rather quote the real number.
