Black fly insect screen fabric is a high-performance woven material designed to provide a physical barrier against airborne pests. This fly mesh is engineered to exclude flies, mosquitoes, wasps, and other flying insects while maintaining essential airflow and visibility.
It is an ideal solution for creating custom fly screens for windows, doors, and vents. The material is UV-stabilised, preventing degradation from sunlight, and is rot-proof, making it suitable for long-term installation in residential and commercial environments.

Features and Benefits
The fibreglass fly mesh offers multiple advantages for keeping insects out of a house or workspace.
Effective Pest Control
The primary function of this screen is to exclude pests. The mesh density is calculated to stop common flies, mosquitoes, and larger insects like wasps from entering. By installing fly screens on windows and doors, you create an effective barrier that reduces the need for chemical insecticides.
Airflow and Visibility
While the screen blocks insects, it allows fresh air to circulate freely. The black colour of the mesh minimises glare, ensuring that the view through windows and doors remains unobstructed. This balance of light and fresh air transmission makes it a perfect choice for habitable rooms.
Ease of Installation
The flexible nature of the insect mesh makes it easy to handle. It can be easy to cut with standard household scissors or a utility knife. The mesh does not fray excessively when cut, simplifying the process of fitting it to frames or attaching it directly to windows and doors.
Applications for Windows and Doors
This product is versatile and compatible with various screening systems.
Window Screens
The insect mesh is commonly used to replace damaged screen material in existing aluminium or PVC frames. It can also be used to build new fixed screens for windows. Whether you have casement, sliding, or sash windows, this fly mesh can be adapted to fit.
Door Screens
For doors, the strong construction withstands the frequent movement associated with patio doors, conservatory doors, and standard entry doors. Installing fly screens on doors allows you to keep them open during the summer months without inviting flies and mosquitoes inside.
Vents and Enclosures
Beyond windows and doors, this mesh is suitable for covering vents, weep holes, and other gaps where insects might gain access. It can also be used to construct enclosures for pets or to protect food preparation areas.
Installation Guidelines
To ensure an effective seal against insects, correct installation is required.
1. Measure: Accurately measure the size of the windows or doors you intend to screen.
2. Select Width: Choose a mesh roll width that exceeds the opening dimension to allow for securing.
3. Cut to Size: Unroll the insect mesh and cut it to the required length.
4. Fixing: The mesh can be secured using a rubber spline in an aluminium frame, or with hook-and-loop tape for a simpler fix on windows.
5. Tension: Ensure the mesh is taut across the screen frame to prevent sagging and ensure a clean appearance on your windows and doors.
