Frequently asked questions

The "18 x 16" refers to the strands per square inch thread count. This is widely used by the industry to identify a mesh product. However, please be aware the "18 x 16" refers only to the number and not the thickness of the strands. The openess factor (found on the mesh specification document) determines the thickness of the mesh, i.e the Standard 18 x 16 has an openess factor of 66% and has excellent visability and air flow properties. The 17 x 12 has an openess factor of 30%, and therefore is a much heavier and thicker fabric, which is used for strength and solar protection.

With the retractable screens, allow the mesh to fully dry before retracting!
