What Is Insect Mesh?
Insect Mesh is a fine mesh with very small holes, typically made from materials like fiberglass, aluminium, plastic or stainless steel, designed to prevent insects and pests from entering a space while still allowing airflow and light to pass through. It is commonly installed on windows, doors, and vents in residential, agricultural, industrial, and commercial settings to provide a chemical-free barrier against insects.
At Mesh Direct, we've been supplying wire mesh for over 70 years, and insect mesh has been one of our key products for over two decades. The vast experience we've built up over this time means that we are an established name in protecting British homes and businesses from unwanted pests.
Insect mesh comes in a wide range of materials, including fiberglass, stainless steel, black coated stainless steel, black coated aluminium, plastic insect mesh, pet-proof insect mesh. This can be daunting when deciding which insect mesh to choose. However, our expert team has advised thousands of customers on insect mesh whether it be for large-scale commercial projects, domestic and commercial kitchens, insect-proofing behind timber cladding, windows, doors and soffits, or even decorative inserts for kitchen cabinets, we will find the best solution for you!
Types Of Insect Mesh
Insect Mesh comes in a wide variety of materials and finishes. The below table explains the key types of insect mesh, what they are made from, and what their main uses are:
Insect Mesh Type
Key Features, Construction & Typical Uses
Durable woven mesh made from fiberglass strands with a black PVC coating. Very flexible, cloth-like material. Cost-effective for covering large areas such as behind wooden cladding, lofts, roof spaces. Cost per sq. metre approx. £1.39.
Strong, corrosion-resistant woven stainless steel mesh that provides long-lasting insect protection with excellent durability. Longest lasting option, also non-combustible. Cost per sq. metre approx. £5.42.
Woven stainless steel insect mesh coated in black epoxy resin. Offers the anti-corrosion advantages of stainless steel insect mesh with a more discreet black finish. Ideal for soffits or behind wooden cladding where a longer-lasting but subtle solution is required. Cost per sq. metre approx. £6.11.
Woven aluminium strands coated with a black epoxy resin finish. Long lasting insect protection with a discreet black finish. Holds its shape well if bending to fit a profile. Cost per sq. metre approx. £5.56.
Expanded plastic insect mesh made from black Polypropylene. UV protected for longer-lasting life in sunlight, black colour is discreet. Cost-effective option for insect proofing large areas. Cost per sq. metre approx. £2.33.
Woven polyester fibres coated with a black PVC finish. Extremely strong and difficult to tear, making it highly scratch resistant. Ideal for insect proofing in environments accessible to cats and dogs. Cost per sq. metre approx. £16.66.
Narrower rolls of insect mesh suitable for insect-proofing soffits. Available in 50mm, 75mm, 100mm, 150mm, 200mm and 300mm roll widths to suit a wide range of buildings. Cost per sq. metre ranges from approx. £3.80 to £11.33 depending on material.
Insect mesh is used across countless environments to keep unwanted pests out without blocking airflow, light, or visibility. Some of the most common uses we are asked about by our customers include the following:
Insect Mesh For Doors And Windows
One of the easiest access points for insects are doors and windows. Whether you have them open during the warmer weather to allow fresh air into your home, or there are small gaps or vulnerabilities such as damaged seals, insects can usually find a way in through doors and windows.
For this reason, insect mesh is widely used in doors and windows to prevent unwanted pests such as flies, mosquitoes, wasps, and midges from entering homes and commercial buildings. Fitted as screens or panels, the fine mesh creates a protective barrier that allows fresh air and natural light to flow through while keeping insects outside. This makes insect mesh an ideal solution for improving ventilation during warmer months without compromising comfort or hygiene. It is commonly installed on windows, patio doors, conservatories, and bi-fold doors in both residential and commercial settings.
Windows and doors are known as "high traffic areas", in other words people come into regular contact with them. Therefore, we suggest using a more robust material such as a heavy-duty stainless steel insect mesh, or a pet-proof insect mesh which is less likely to be damaged by stray hands and feet!
Soffit Insect Mesh
A soffit is the the exposed underside where the roof, or eave, overhangs the external wall of a building. This overhang is an easy target for insects to enter the roof-space. In particular, bees and wasps like to build their nests in roofs, and unless your soffit is protected your building will be vulnerable. Soffit insect mesh is designed in narrower roll widths to suit the depth of your soffit. Soffit mesh is usually available in roll widths from 50mm to 300mm, which saves you from having to cut insect mesh down to size over long stretches.
Soffit insect mesh is available in a range of materials, including stainless steel, black stainless steel, black aluminium, and black fiberglass. All of these options are suitable for keeping insects out, and so the best choice comes down to the qualities of each material as shown in the below table.
Soffit Insect Mesh Material
Advantages
Disadvantages
Longest lasting option, highly resistant to corrosion. Has some rigidity making it easy to install. Uncoated stainless steel (silver) is a non-combustible material meaning that it won't ignite or burn.
Cost, stainless steel is the most expensive option. Silver finish may be more visible in direct sunlight.
Very long lasting stainless steel, with a black epoxy resin coating to create a discreet "invisible" finish.
Cost, stainless steel is more expensive.
Long-lasting material, black epoxy coating creates attractive "invisible" finish. Easy to bend to shape, and retains the shape reasonably well which is ideal if you need to bend the mesh to fit into a soffit, or bend the mesh to an angle.
Not quite as long-lasting or durable as stainless steel.
Very flexible, cloth-like material easy to staple into place for quick installation. Very strong and difficult to tear. Black finish is discreet. Most cost-effective option.
Lasts a number of years, but not as long as aluminium or stainless steel. Not as rigid as stainless steel. Doesn't hold its shape like aluminium.
Roof Spaces And Lofts
Ever wonder why you get flies in the house even in the winter? The chances are that they have been hibernating in your roof space or loft, and when the central heating switches on in the winter they are attracted to the heat source.
This is why insect mesh is an essential for your roof spaces and lofts to prevent pests like flies, bees, wasps and hornets from entering the home through gaps in tiles, rafters and roof underlay. Roof spaces require continuous airflow through soffit and ridge vents to prevent moisture buildup, dampness, and timber rot. Therefore, the high open area of insect mesh is ideal for allowing airflow through, while keeping insects out.
For large roof areas, a cost-effective option such as fiberglass insect mesh or plastic insect mesh is ideal. This can simply be stapled directly onto wooden beams and rafters with a staple tacker. Make sure you don't leave any gaps for the insects to exploit! For a longer lasting insect mesh, or if you are looking for a non-combustible material, we would recommend using uncoated stainless steel (silver) insect mesh. This comes in 1.2m wide rolls in lengths up to 30m, and can also be stapled onto wooden rafters or fixed into a simple wooden frame.
Vents And Airbricks
Vents and airbricks are a primary access point for insects into the building. The hole sizes on vents and airbricks are typically quite large to allow air to pass through freely. This makes it easy for insects, bees, wasps, beetles, slugs to gain access to your premises.
The key consideration when choosing an insect mesh to cover vents or airbricks is to keep the open area above 60% to maintain decent airflow. Please note that you should never cover boiler flues or any vents for HVAC systems or other equipment where the manufacturer states a higher minimum open area.
Installing a durable insect mesh or vent cover over these openings creates a secure, long-lasting barrier that keeps even the smallest pests out without restricting the necessary airflow that keeps the building dry and healthy.
Insect Mesh Behind Wooden Cladding
We are regularly asked by customers to recommend a mesh to be fixed behind timber cladding. Given that timber cladding is installed with intentional gaps to allow ventilation, this creates an opening for insects to access the building. Insect mesh is ideal for covering these gaps, as it had a high open area allowing vital airflow for ventilation.
All of our insect mesh options are suitable for keeping out insects, and can be installed behind timber cladding by being stapled into place. However, given that it is not easy to gain access behind the cladding once it has been installed we would always suggest investing in one of the longer-lasting materials such as stainless steel, available in uncoated and also a black epoxy coated finish. By choosing stainless steel, you won't have to worry about replacing the insect mesh for many years.
Commercial Kitchens And Catering Environments
Insect mesh is also essential in commercial kitchens and catering environments to maintain strict hygiene standards and comply with food safety laws by preventing flying pests like flies, wasps, and mosquitoes from contaminating food and food-contact surfaces. These environments generate significant heat, moisture, and food odours, requiring open windows and powerful ventilation systems to keep the workspace workable and safe. However, open apertures, heat, and access to a food source invite disease-carrying insects that can spread pathogens like Salmonella and E. coli. Installing durable mesh screens over windows, doors, and extraction vents creates an effective physical barrier that allows fresh air to circulate while keeping the kitchen pest-free and compliant with environmental health regulations.
We suggest using stainless steel insect mesh in food environments as it's easy to clean, doesn't rust from contact with moisture in the kitchen, and is hardwearing. One thing to keep in mind is that stainless steel should only be cleaned using warm water and soap (such as washing-up liquid). Make sure you don't use bleach based cleaning products, as they contain Chlorides which corrode stainless steel.
More unusual applications...
Over the years we have advised thousands of customers on which is the best insect mesh to solve their particular problem, including some less mainstream uses such as insect mesh for headphone covers, insect mesh for tea strainers, and even insect mesh for reptile tanks! Nothing phases us, no matter the application our expert team will be able to help.
Insect Mesh vs Fly Screen
What Is The Difference Between Insect Mesh And Fly Screen?
The terms "insect mesh" and "fly screen" are often used inter-changeably, and usually mean the same thing i.e. an insect-proof mesh. However, sometimes the word "screen" will mean that the insect mesh is pre-fabricated into into either a fixed frame or retractable roller.
Pre-made Fly Screens vs Roll Of Insect Mesh
Factor
Pre-made Fly Screen
Roll of Insect Mesh
Ease of Installation
Already in a frame, ready to fix to your window or door.
If fixing to a window or door, you may need to frame the insect mesh. If fixing insect mesh to soffits, roof-spaces, cladding then the insect mesh can be stapled into place without a frame.
Adaptability / versatility
Poor adaptability, you are restricted to the size of the pre-made frame.
Highly adaptable, can be fitted to any size frame or cover any sized area if stapling directly in place.
Cost
Good quality screens can be expensive.
Very cost-effective, particularly if you are insect proofing a large area.
Effectiveness
Highly dependent on the quality of the mesh and frame. Cheap insect screens can be ineffective due to gaps between the frame and the insect mesh, low quality materials are not very durable. More expensive screens can be highly effective.
Highly effective when installed correctly. Gives you the flexibility to install the insect-proofing to a high standard.
Verdict
Best for convenience, however very limited to the size, shape and quality of the screen.
Best for versatility, allows you to install insect-proofing in any environment and to any dimensions. Provides long-lasting protection when installed correctly.
How Do You Install Insect Mesh?
Insect Mesh is easy to install, all it takes is some basic DIY skills and the right hand tools. Below we've set out how to install insect mesh in the most common applications. Generally, though, you will need a tape measure, sharp pair of heavy-duty scissors, staple-tacker, and for some applications materials to make a basic frame.
How To Install Insect Mesh On Windows And Doors
Step 1: Measure the opening
The first thing to do is accurately measure the opening you are looking to insect-proof. Use a tape measure, and double check all measurements.
Step 2: Make your frame
A simple frame will give sufficient support to your insect mesh. You can either buy a ready assembled frame, or you can make one to your exact measurements. Frames can be put together easily using four timber battens which are either glued or nailed together in the corners. Alternatively, for a thinner profile and lighter-weight frame you can use aluminium strips. Remember, if you are making a large frame for a door, you may need a cross-strut in the middle of the frame for extra stability and support.
Top tip: If you can fix the insect mesh directly to your window or door frame, then you can skip this step. You may be able to fix the insect mesh directly by screwing into place a wooden, plastic or aluminium strip to wedge the mesh into position.
Step 3: Cut your insect mesh to size
Using a decent pair of heavy-duty scissors, cut your insect mesh so that it can be easily stapled to your frame. Once cut to size, use a staple tacker to secure the mesh to the frame.
Top tip: It's better to cut the insect mesh slightly over the measurements instead of risking the mesh being too short. You can always trim any excess mesh with the scissors after securing it to your frame.
Step 4: Fix frame to window or door
Depending on whether you want the insect screen to be permanently in place or removable, you can use nails, screws, hinges, self adhesive velcro, hooks, strong magnets to secure your frame to the door or window. Just make sure that the fixing is strong enough to support the weight of the frame, and remember that self adhesive fixings can fail over time.
How To Install Insect Mesh On Soffits
Soffit insect mesh is manufactured in narrower roll widths to make installation easy. Measure the size of the gap you need to close and select the closest roll width. Soffit mesh is available in 50mm, 75mm, 100mm, 150mm, 200mm and 300mm rolls widths, and so there are plenty of options to find the best fit. If you are installing new soffits, or replacing the soffits, then the insect mesh can be tucked away inside and secured in place with staples, screws and washers or silicone. If you are adding insect mesh to existing soffits, you may need to use a blunt tool such as a flat head screwdriver or putty knife to push the mesh into position. Again, secure into place with staples, screws and washers or silicone.
How To Install Insect Mesh Behind Timber Cladding
Timber cladding is intentionally installed with gaps at the top and bottom to allow ventialation, and also between the timbers to allow for expansion. The dry cavity behind the cladding is an ideal safe-haven for insects, and so it is important to block access with insect mesh. The insect mesh should be stapled directly onto the wooden cladding, making sure that all gaps are sealed. The high open area of insect mesh will still allow sufficient airflow through the cladding.
How To Install Insect Mesh In Roof Spaces And Lofts
Insect mesh can simply be stapled to rafters and wooden beams in loft spaces using a staple tacker. Ensure that sufficient staples are used, and the insect mesh is pulled reasonably tight, to avoid gaps which will allow insects to pass through.
How To Install Insect Mesh On Vents And Airbricks
To protect vents and airbricks from insects, you can either use a purpose made vent cover. Alternatively, if the opening you are trying to cover is too large for a vent cover you can use a roll of insect mesh. Simply cut the insect mesh to size with a sharp pair of heavy-duty scissors, and either create a basic frame for the mesh which can be fixed in place with wall-plugs and masonry screws, or you can fix the insect mesh directly to the brickwork with masonry screws and large washers.
Pros And Cons Of Insect Mesh
Pros
Cons
Prevents insects (wasps, flies, spiders, bees) from nesting behind cladding and inside buildings.
Adds an extra installation step and labour time.
Has a high open area to maintain airflow.
Requires periodic inspection to check for damage or to check if clogged by dust or debris.
Easy to install, as it can usually be fixed in place using basic tools such as a staple tacker, or screws and washers.
May be trickier to install in less accessible areas such as in existing soffits.
Keeps insects away from food preparation areas to enhance hygeine.
Works best in kitchens when used together with other best practices, such as keeping work surfaces clean, ensuring that potential food sources are stored in secure containers.
Cost-effective insect proofing, with lots of different material options available.
Stainless steel is the longest lasting insect mesh, but it is more expensive than other materials.
Common Mistakes - 'We See This Often'
⚠️
We see this often: Customers choose the wrong hole size for the job.
❌
What happens: If you choose an insect mesh where the holes are too big, then it's not going to be effective.
✅
How to avoid it: Make sure you choose the correct hole size for the insects you are trying to keep out. If you are looking to keep out bees, wasps, common house flies then a 2mm hole size or smaller will do the job. If you need to keep out smaller insects such as drain flies, midges, greenfly then choose an extra-fine insect mesh with a hole size less than 0.5mm.
⚠️
We see this often: Customers don't consider the airflow through the insect mesh.
❌
What happens: If the open area of the material is too low, then this restricts airflow through the insect mesh which reduces ventilation.
✅
How to avoid it: Some insect mesh applications, such as vent covers and timber cladding, require a high airflow to allow sufficient ventilation. You should choose an insect mesh with around 70%+ open area for these installations. Please note, you may need to check with the vent manufacturer, for example in an HVAC system, to see if there is a minimum open area requirement. Other applications, such as windows and doors, don't necessarily require a minimum open area. It is more important to select a strong insect mesh for windows and doors as they are high-traffic areas.
⚠️
We see this often: Customers assume that insect mesh will also keep out other pests such as rodents.
❌
What happens: Insect mesh is designed to keep insects out. If other pests are an issue, then using the incorrect mesh won't work.
✅
How to avoid it: Work out which pests you have an issue with. If it's just insects, then you should choose an insect mesh. If you also have a problem with rodents then you may need to install an additional mesh such as a 6mm x 6mm stainless steel welded mesh to keep them out. Whilst stainless steel insect mesh may offer a deterrent to other pests such as mice, for effective long-lasting pest proofing it's best to use the insect mesh in conjunction with other pest proofing mesh.
Insect Mesh Key Technical Terms
Type
About Mesh Type
Aperture Size
The size of the holes in the mesh. This determines what the mesh will prevent from passing through it.
Mesh Count
The number of holes across an inch on the material. For example, an insect mesh with a mesh count of 16 x 16 has 16 holes across a horizontal inch on the material, and 16 holes across a vertical inch on the material.
Wire gauge / wire diameter
The thickness of the wire used to weave the insect mesh.
Strand thickness
The thickness of the strands woven together to make non-metal insect mesh such as fiberglass insect mesh.
Overall material thickness
The overall thickness of the insect mesh. This is usually double the wire / strand thickness i.e. the thickest point of the material is where the wires or strands cross.
Open area
The percentage of the material which is open air. For example, an insect mesh with a 70% open area means that 70% of the material is open air. The higher the open area the more airflow there is through the insect mesh.

That experience shapes every product decision we make, every piece of advice we give, and the way we help customers avoid the specification mistakes we've seen cost people time and money. This page has been reviewed by Dan Hancock, Managing Director at Mesh Direct since 2010, to ensure every recommendation reflects how we actually advise customers day to day.
Experience You Can Rely On
Our team advises customers daily on mesh selection, wire gauge, aperture size, and installation by phone, live chat, and email. When you contact us via live chat, you're talking to a real person. We typically respond within a few seconds. No bots, no queues, no copy-paste answers.
That day-to-day advisory experience is what built our Product Finder Tool: a resource developed entirely from first-hand knowledge of how customers choose the wrong mesh and what questions they actually ask. The same experience shaped our decision to stock European welded mesh alongside our standard range. Customer feedback told us that mesh manufactured to stricter tolerances would make it easier to fix onto precise frameworks, saving hours of labour. We sourced a European alternative that fulfilled that requirement. It's important for us to take into consideration our customers' opinions and adapt our range to their needs.
We've supplied wire mesh to NHS hospitals, UK universities, schools, councils, registered charities, major contractors, and some of the country's most recognisable organisations across healthcare, conservation, and construction. We're proud to have donated material for the construction of a new lynx enclosure at the Wildwood Trust, a registered conservation charity. We don't name individual clients as a matter of data protection, but the breadth of the organisations that trust us to get the specification right is a reflection of the expertise behind every order we dispatch.
In 70+ years, our team has been asked to supply mesh for almost every application imaginable. From conservation enclosures to film and TV productions, race car teams, premier league football clubs, and zoos. We've even been asked for mesh to keep a monkey in, to prevent satellite signal interference, and even to eliminate static electricity under a mattress! We've seen it all, and that depth of real-world experience means there are very few problems we haven't encountered before.
Specialist Product Knowledge
As a BSSA (British Stainless Steel Association) member, our stainless steel expertise backed up by an industry leading advisory service. We stock woven stainless steel mesh from 2 mesh to 500 mesh count, a range that requires genuine technical knowledge to advise on correctly. Our team understands the practical difference between Grade 304 and Grade 316, knows when galvanised mesh is sufficient and when only stainless will do, and can specify the right aperture and gauge combination for applications from rodent exclusion to industrial filtration.
Our key suppliers are manufacturers we have worked with for many years. We know the quality of their products because we've been working closely with them for a very long time (perhaps longer than we would like to admit). When goods arrive at our Stoke-on-Trent warehouse, our team carries out quality checks before anything is dispatched to ensure quality.
