    Insect Screening

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Insect Screening.
    Keep bugs out of your space without blocking airflow or light. When choosing a screen, there are two factors that affect airflow and visibility: mesh size and wire diameter. The higher the mesh size, the smaller the holes. The thicker the wire diameter, the sturdier and tougher the screen.
    These screens are made with materials that won’t corrode when exposed to weather.
    Metal screens are stronger and more durable than fiberglass screens. They also hold up better against extreme temperatures. The wires won’t stretch, sag, or tear over time and have good visibility. Though, they’re less forgiving during installation compared to fiberglass screens, so they can get dented.
    AluminumAbout Aluminum
    16 × 18—16 × 18 mesh size with a 0.011" wire diameter is the most common combination—it balances good visibility and airflow with durability.

    Fiberglass Weld-Backing Tape

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Weld-Backing Tape. Fiberglass Weld-Backing Tape.
    Stick this flexible tape to the back of welding seams to contain spatter and prevent oxygen, water vapor, and other gases from weakening the weld. Also known as back purge tape, it’s used for welding flat sheets, large tanks, and other applications where filling the space behind the seam with purge gas is difficult or expensive. Form the fiberglass spine into a small ridge over the weld joint, then press the adhesive foil down on each side. Compatible with MIG, TIG, and stick welding.
    For 200 amp Maximum Current—Apply tape for 200 amp maximum current to thin welds on aluminum, cast iron, nickel and copper alloys, and steel.
    For 600 amp Maximum Current—Use tape for 600 amp maximum current to shield thick welds on dense metals, such as stainless steel.

    Extra-Rigid Aluminum Filter Mesh

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Filter Mesh. Extra-Rigid Aluminum Filter Mesh.
    Also known as space cloth, wires are crimped where they intersect to maintain an accurate opening size when used with heavy materials. The crimping process also adds strength and rigidity. This filter mesh is often used as barriers, shields, dividers, and guards.
    Made of aluminum, it is lightweight and has good corrosion resistance.
