Description
Our black epoxy resin coated woven aluminium insect mesh is perfect for keeping out flies and other insects. Aluminium insect mesh is extremely light, and is easy to bend into a desired shape. We offer a range of roll widths and lengths to suit various applications. The 10cm to 15cm wide rolls are ideal for use on soffits, or behind cladding. The wider rolls are perfect for producing insect screens, or for covering larger areas such as roofs. Given that the mesh is flexible, it may need the support of a frame to add rigidity.
The black epoxy resin coating not only protects the aluminium, it also helps the mesh to blend in with the background. Therefore, this product is an excellent option for discreet insect protection.

FAQ
FAQs
Is the 1.36mm black aluminium mesh fine enough to stop insects getting into soffits and behind cladding?
Yes - the 1.36mm x 1.36mm aperture blocks house flies, bluebottles, wasps, and most common household insects that enter through soffits and cladding gaps. With 73% open area, airflow through the soffit or vent is maintained alongside the physical barrier. If your pest problem involves very small insects such as midges or drain flies, you may want to consider using Extra Fine Insect Mesh with a 0.455mm hole size.
Will the black epoxy resin coating on this mesh blend in against dark cladding and soffits, or will it still be visible?
The black epoxy resin coating is specifically designed to blend into dark backgrounds; it is an excellent option for discreet insect protection. The black finish combined with the high open area makes it nearly invisible once installed. Customers fitting mesh against white or light-coloured surfaces may wish to consider Mesh Direct's silver stainless steel insect mesh range as an alternative.
Will the black coating on this mesh peel or fade when fitted outside?
The black epoxy coating is designed for outdoor use and is resistant to normal weather exposure, so it should not easily peel when correctly installed and maintained. The coating is also UV protected. Over time, even if the coating does degrade the aluminium core itself still offers excellent corrosion resistance.
Are the 10cm or 15cm wide rolls the right size for fitting behind roof cladding or in soffit channels?
Yes - the 10cm and 15cm wide rolls are great for use on soffits, or behind cladding. Mesh Direct also offers a range of additional soffit insect mesh roll widths so you can find the closest fit. Soffit insect mesh rolls are available in 30 metre lengths. For open roof spaces or window-sized areas, the 1.2m wide rolls are the appropriate choice.
Can I bend this aluminium mesh by hand to fit into a soffit or cladding gap?
Yes - this mesh is lightweight and extremely easy to bend into a desired shape, making it suitable for DIY fitting without specialist equipment. At 0.23mm wire thickness and 230 grams per square metre, it is malleable enough to form by hand and holds its shape reasonably well.
Does this mesh need a frame to stay in place, or can I push it directly into a soffit channel or cladding gap?
The mesh may require the support of a frame, for example open-span uses such as window screens require a timber or aluminium frame to add rigidity. Behind cladding or inside a soffit channel, the surrounding structure typically acts as the frame and usually no additional support is required.
