Our strong coarse mesh is specifically designed for robust rodent control, combining durability with practical ease of installation. Ideal for safeguarding spaces against unwanted pests, this mesh is also user-friendly, capable of being cut with strong scissors or tin snips, which facilitates custom fittings and on-site adjustments.
The mesh features an aperture of 1.03mm, which is small enough to prevent the entry of rodents while ensuring that it does not overly restrict airflow. This size is optimal for use in areas like basements, attics, and food storage areas where preventing access to pests is crucial without compromising the environmental quality.
With a wire diameter of 0.56mm, the mesh offers significant resistance to gnawing and chewing, common behaviors of rodents trying to breach barriers. The robust wire thickness enhances the mesh’s overall strength and longevity, ensuring it remains effective over time, even with exposure to the elements and physical stress.
An open area of 42% strikes the right balance between barrier functionality and environmental factors like light and air circulation. This level of openness ensures that while the mesh is primarily used for rodent control, it still supports sufficient ventilation, which is vital in enclosed spaces to prevent dampness and other issues related to poor air circulation.
The #16 mesh number indicates a coarse weave that provides a sturdy and durable structure, suitable for heavy-duty use. This coarseness also makes the mesh relatively easy to work with during installation, as it can be cut and shaped without the need for specialized tools, which is highly advantageous in practical scenarios.
Weighing 2.51 kg/m2, this mesh is heavy enough to offer excellent durability and resistance to physical pressures, yet it remains manageable for installation. This weight ensures the mesh can be securely installed without sagging or warping, providing a reliable and long-lasting protective barrier against rodents.
Wire mesh materials are also available in brass, copper, galvanised steel and blue PVC.
