The primary reason that most customers seek out window or porch screening is to keep out bugs. While standard insect screen blocks out most pesky critters, there are some insects that can still infiltrate the screen mesh. To block out even the smallest bugs, we recommend 20x20 mesh screen — also called "tiny mesh" and “no-see-um screen.” If you want UV protection as well as insect shielding, we also carry Solar Tiny Mesh. The screen is made from an ultra-tight mesh weave that ensures that no-see-ums, gnats, sand flies, and other tiny flying insects cannot pass through, while still allowing for great airflow and visibility.

The permanent glass yarn material used for the mesh is also coated in a protective vinyl, ensuring that your screen will stay beautiful and flexible for years to come. It’s also rust- and corrosion-resistant, meaning it’s perfect for windows, doors, or porch screen enclosures where gnats, black flies, or no-see-ums are a problem. If you're looking to weigh the pros and cons of no-see-um screen, we've got you covered.
