Fly Mesh Insect Strip Curtains (Hook-on): The Ultimate Solution for Insect-Free Spaces
Fly Mesh Insect Strip Curtains provide a practical and efficient solution for maintaining hygiene in areas where it is paramount. These easy-fit curtains are designed to offer a simple yet effective barrier against flying insects, while still allowing easy access through pedestrian doorways and openings. Beyond keeping insects at bay, these curtains also serve as a defense against weather, dust, and flying debris, making them a versatile choice for various environments.
Innovative Hook-On Rail System
The Hook-on system is a classic and reliable format for strip curtains. The kit includes stainless steel hanging rails made from 430-grade stainless steel, ensuring durability and a clean, professional appearance. This makes the rails particularly suitable for environments where hygiene and aesthetics are important. The mesh strips are equipped with metal plate sets that easily hook onto the rails, allowing for quick and convenient installation or removal as needed.
Simple and Secure Fitting
The rails are designed for versatile fitting options. They can be mounted either on the face or soffit/underside using the pre-drilled M6 fixing holes. While the fixings are not included in the kit and should be supplied by the installer to suit the fitting surface, it's important to note that the rails are not self-supporting. They must be installed onto a structurally sound surface that spans the entire opening.
Effective Insect Protection with Superior Ventilation
The black mesh insect strips are crafted from vinyl-coated polyester, offering a robust barrier against flying insects. With 1mm square holes, the mesh is finely woven to prevent even the smallest air-borne insects from entering, while still allowing ample fresh air to circulate for ventilation. These curtains are ideal for spaces that require both hygiene and airflow, such as kitchens, food preparation areas, and warehouses.
Durable and Hygienic
These mesh strips are designed to be both durable and hygienic. They are highly flexible, resistant to bacteria and fungi, and provide effective sun screening. The inclusion of Microban antimicrobial additives ensures that the strips maintain their cleanliness and integrity over time, even in challenging environments.
Practical Considerations
The Fly Mesh Insect Strip Curtains are supplied folded and boxed. When first hung, there may be slight creases in the mesh; however, these should naturally fall out over time. The overlap option of 200mm / 36% ensures effective coverage up to a recommended maximum height of 2500mm.
Longevity and Maintenance
As with all consumable products, the lifespan of the mesh strips will depend on the conditions in which they are used. For optimal performance and longevity, it is recommended that these curtains be fitted internally where they can be sheltered from direct exposure to the elements. In more challenging environments, such as external doorways that are fully exposed to weather, the mesh strips may need to be replaced more frequently.

Longevity: Mesh strip is considered a consumable product. How fast it’s consumed is beyond any manufacturer’s or supplier’s control. Its lifespan will be dictated by where it’s used, what type of traffic might move through it and how carefully (or aggressively) such traffic does so. To help maximise its working life, we always recommend that curtains are fitted internally where they have a degree of shelter. If fitted outside, fully exposed to the elements day and night, they can deteriorate more quickly. The rate of this will depend entirely on the severity of the local weather. We have some customers who replace their strips annually, others who’ve had the same for many years.
NOTE: All dimensions nominal. Subject to original manufacturer’s standard tolerances.
