13 Mesh Aluminium Fly Screen Mesh

The 13-mesh aluminum fly screen is a high-quality metal mesh woven from high-strength aluminum wire, with a mesh size of 13×13 (meaning 13 wires per inch in each direction). Its aperture is moderate, achieving a good balance between ventilation and protection. The mesh surface is treated with a matte grey powder coating, making it ideal for modern architectural applications such as door and window security screens, building ventilation, and privacy protection.

The screen is lightweight, rust-resistant, and especially suitable for humid or coastal environments, where corrosion issues may arise. Compared to traditional stainless steel or iron mesh, the aluminum grey mesh offers enhanced weather resistance, while being easier to cut and install, which helps reduce labor and material costs.


Also known as Tuff Screen, this heavy-duty insect mesh is becoming increasingly popular in the Australian market. It is designed for durability and strength, making it the preferred choice for fly and insect screen applications that require extra toughness.

Features


High-strength protection: The 13-mesh structure combined with thick wire diameter provides excellent impact resistance, able to withstand substantial external force and effectively prevent intentional damage.

Ventilation and insect protection: The mesh density effectively blocks most flying insects, while still allowing excellent airflow and clear visibility.

Attractive appearance: The ash-grey finish complements modern architectural styles and offers excellent dirt resistance.

Corrosion resistance: The natural oxide layer of aluminum, enhanced with an ash-grey coating, greatly improves its corrosion resistance, making it ideal for humid or coastal environments.

Easy to process and install: Lightweight for easy transport, cutting, and installation, suitable for various window and door frame types.

Eco-friendly: Made from aluminium, a fully recyclable and environmentally friendly material.


Advantages


Long service life: Thanks to its excellent corrosion and weather resistance, it can last for 8–12 years under normal use.

Wide range of applications: Suitable for residential homes, villas, and commercial buildings.

Easy to install: Lighter than stainless steel mesh, making handling, installation, and construction easier.

Low maintenance: Requires only simple cleaning with water to keep it in good condition.


Environmentally Friendly Aluminum


Aluminum is an infinitely recyclable metal. Recycling aluminum requires significantly less energy compared to producing primary aluminum, making it a more sustainable option. Its low density contributes to reduced energy consumption and lower emissions during transportation and manufacturing. Additionally, aluminum’s excellent corrosion resistance extends its lifespan, further minimizing environmental impact.


Packing And Delivery


Packaging: Generally supplied in roll form, wrapped with waterproof plastic film and packed in sturdy cartons; custom packaging is also available.

Transportation: Shipped by sea, air, or international express, arranged according to customer requirements.

Storage recommendation: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Avoid heavy loads or contact with sharp objects to prevent creases and damage.


Applications


Window and door protection: Used as protective screens for residential windows and doors, effectively keeping out insects, deterring break-ins, and resisting damage from pets.

Balconies and terraces: Installed on balconies, terraces, or verandas to block insects while maintaining natural light and ventilation.

Coastal and humid regions: With its high corrosion resistance, it is ideal for coastal or humid climates—durable, long-lasting, and resistant to rust.

Privacy protection: The low-reflective grey surface helps block outside views during the day, making it difficult for people to see inside, while still allowing light and air to pass through.

Gardening and agricultural protection: Prevents rodents, birds, and insects from damaging plants, crops, and flowers.
