- Light Blocking
- Complete
- Lightfastness
- Material is UV stabilized and independently lab tested by the Building Research Association of New Zealand (BRANZ). Results show the minimal deterioration of the mesh after 2000 hours of continuous testing.
- Maintenance
- In interior settings, clean with a soft brush, vacuum cleaner mounted brush, or broom. Rinse with water if heavily soiled. For exterior environments, a mild detergent pre-soak followed by a low-pressure water blaster rinse (no more than 1200psi) is best. If pressure blasting isn’t possible, then clean with a soft brush or broom and water. Regardless of location, avoid harsh soaps, solvents, chemicals or waxes to clean the product as these may cause damage and void the warranty
- Performance
- Cd = 0.8, which is 40% less than an equivalent two-dimensional or woven mesh
- Tensile Strength
- The accumulated strength of seamless mesh increases proportionately with the size of the panel
