What Are the Properties of Aluminum Shutter Mosquito Mesh?

Combining different high-quality and cost-effective materials helps ensure the final product can be used. Materials used in building and designing aluminum shutter mosquito nets include:

Fiberglass

Fiberglass is a plastic material of woven glass filaments embedded in a resin matrix. Some of the benefits of fiberglass include:

• Stability: Fiberglass is a very stable material because it does not shrink or stretch when exposed to very high or very low temperatures caused by seasonal changes.
• Resistance to Moisture: The environment has always consisted of a percentage of moisture. Fiberglass is resistant to moisture and does not absorb it.
• Very High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: This property makes it ideal for applications where minimal weight and high strength are important.
• Decomposition: Fiberglass is not affected by moisture, rodents, or insects and will not rot or decay.

Aluminium

Aluminium is an abundant metal on the earth's surface used to design, construct, and model different materials. Materials made with aluminum can be used either in their original state or combined with other metals.

• Glossy Surface Finish: Adds a presentable outlook and luxurious feel, blending with the home’s theme.
• Easy Cleaning: Removes tough stains caused by grease, dust, or food spillage.
