ALUMINIUM MESH (SS FINISHING)

An Aluminum Mesh with an SS (Stainless Steel) Finish is a smart material compromise for uPVC mosquito track frames. True stainless steel mesh is exceptionally strong but heavy, stiff to roll into grooves, and expensive. Standard aluminum mesh is highly malleable and cost-effective but prone to oxidizing and dulling.

By applying an SS-coated bright finish or fine-polish surface treatment to aluminum wire, manufacturers provide the sleek, bright silver aesthetic and rust protection of stainless steel while retaining the lightweight flexibility and easy cutting characteristics of aluminum.

Technical Advantages for uPVC Fabricators

Easy Spline Insertion: Unlike rigid 304 SS mesh—which requires a specialized metal rolling tool—SS-finished aluminum mesh can easily be pushed into the uPVC channel using a standard plastic screen roller wheel without tearing the screen edges.
Weight Reduction: Aluminum base wire cuts frame weight down by nearly 50% to 60% compared to solid stainless steel. This puts significantly less structural stress on the sliding rollers or hinges of your uPVC mesh sash, preventing sagging over time.
Cutting Flexibility: Can be trimmed cleanly using standard heavy-duty utility shears or tin snips without leaving jagged, razor-sharp wire ends that could potentially cut users or tear into the uPVC frame vinyl.
