18×16 Mesh Aluminium Fly Screen Mesh

The 18×16 mesh charcoal aluminium wire mesh is a lightweight, high-strength protective metal screen woven from premium-quality aluminum wire. It offers excellent corrosion resistance, durability, and an aesthetically pleasing appearance. The mesh surface is treated with a charcoal coating.


This type of mesh is commonly used in insect screens, screen doors, and applications where a darker finish is preferred. Its fine mesh structure (18 strands per inch in one direction and 16 in the other) not only provides effective protection against insects and mosquitoes but also ensures good visibility and airflow, making it an ideal choice for both residential and commercial environments.

Manufactured with carbon-coated aluminum wire—a composite material that combines the corrosion resistance of aluminum with the anti-rust properties of a carbon-based coating—it is especially well-suited for coastal and humid environments where enhanced durability is essential.

Features


Corrosion & Rust Resistant: Aluminum with charcoal coating offers strong resistance to rust, ideal for humid and coastal areas.

Good air circulation: Fine mesh allows fresh air to pass through while keeping insects out.

Insect Protection: Effectively blocks mosquitoes, making indoor spaces safer.

Lightweight and Easy to Handle: Easier to transport and install compared to heavier steel mesh.

Improved Privacy: The charcoal surface reduces glare and outside visibility for added privacy.

Eco-Friendly: Made from recyclable aluminum, making it a sustainable choice.


Applications


Insect Screen Doors and Windows: The unique mesh structure effectively blocks mosquitoes, flies, and other small insects from entering indoor spaces.

Protective Mesh for Residential Windows, Balconies, and Door Frames: Suitable for homes, apartments, and commercial buildings, the durable aluminium material also offers basic anti-theft protection due to its rigidity and strength.

Ventilation Protection: Can be installed on air vents and exhaust outlets, allowing air to circulate freely while preventing debris and insects from entering. It also ensures good airflow even during rainy weather.

Enhanced Privacy: The charcoal-colored surface offers daytime one-way privacy—residents can see outside clearly, while preventing outsiders from seeing into the interior.

Safety Screens for Children and Pets: When combined with security-grade window frames, it enhances overall safety, reducing the risk of falls or break-ins.


Faq


Will aluminum mesh rust?

A: Firstly, an oxide film will naturally form on the surface of aluminium materials, which has a corrosion-resistant protective effect. Carbon fiber is not a metal and will not rust by itself. Therefore, carbon-aluminum wire mesh has excellent corrosion resistance and is suitable for humid or coastal environments.

How to clean 18×16 mesh charcoal aluminum wire mesh?

A: It can be gently wiped with a soft brush or a damp cloth. Avoid using strong acid or alkali cleaners or steel wool balls to prevent damage to the surface coating.

What does 18×16 mesh mean?

A: It means there are 18 wires per inch in one direction and 16 wires per inch in the other direction. This is a standard insect screen density that effectively blocks mosquitoes and flies while maintaining good airflow.
