Fiberglass mesh, primarily used for insect screening in windows, doors, and patios, is a popular, cost-effective material known for its flexibility and resistance to rust. It is typically manufactured from woven fiberglass strands coated with PVC (polyvinyl chloride) for enhanced durability and weather resistance. The most common colors are black (often called charcoal) and grey (or silver-grey), each offering distinct advantages, primarily related to visibility and aesthetics

General Properties and Applications
Regardless of color, standard fiberglass mesh shares several key characteristics that make it a leading choice for screening projects:
Material Composition: Woven glass fibers coated with a vinyl (PVC) protective layer. This coating adds color, helps bond the fibers, and enhances resistance to the elements.
Flexibility and Ease of Installation: Fiberglass is soft, pliable, and easy to handle, cut with standard scissors, and install in frames using a spline roller. It resists creasing, unlike metal screens.
Durability and Resistance: It is rust-resistant and corrosion-resistant, making it ideal for coastal or humid environments. It is also resistant to mildew.
Insect Protection: The standard 18x16 mesh size is highly effective at keeping out most common insects like mosquitoes, flies, and wasps while allowing excellent airflow.
Cost-Effectiveness: Fiberglass mesh is generally the most affordable screen material option compared to aluminum, copper, or stainless steel mesh.
