No-See-Um & Fine Mesh Screens in Georgina
No-see-um screens use a 20×20 mesh to block midges, mayflies, gnats, and the small insects that pass through standard 18×16 mesh. Georgina is the municipality in our entire service area where fine mesh screens make the most immediate and noticeable difference. The combination of Lake Simcoe's shoreline, Cook's Bay, the Holland River delta at Keswick, the Black River at Pefferlaw, and the wetland complexes along the lake margin creates insect conditions, particularly the annual mayfly and midge hatch events in May and June, that standard screens simply do not address. Screen Express installs 20×20 fine mesh screens throughout Georgina, fitting them to existing frames or building new ones on-site.
Lake Simcoe produces annual mayfly hatch events, concentrated in May and early June, where the insects emerge from the lake in large numbers, fly toward lit windows and open doors, and are small enough to pass through the 18×16 openings of a standard window screen. Homeowners on the Keswick South waterfront, in Jackson's Point, and along the Historic Lakeshore Communities experience this directly: insects on the inside of a screen that appears to be closed and intact. The same pattern applies to midges, tiny biting insects that are common along lake and river margins throughout the warm season. For Keswick South properties at the mouth of the Holland River into Cook's Bay, this is compounded by the river-delta insect pressure that comes from the Holland Marsh drainage upstream. Fine mesh is not an optional upgrade in Georgina's waterfront and near-waterfront areas; it is the only screen type that addresses the actual insect population.

Typical homes: Converted seasonal cottages now used as year-round residences along the Lake Simcoe shoreline (Keswick South, Jackson's Point, Sutton waterfront) · Suburban detached homes and townhouses in newer Keswick subdivisions (Keswick North, 1990s–2015 builds) · Heritage village homes (Sutton Main Street, historic Keswick village core, pre-1970s) · True seasonal and recreational properties (Jackson's Point, Historic Lakeshore Communities, spring-opened each year) · Rural acreage and hobby farm properties (Pefferlaw, Baldwin, Virginia, Rural Georgina)

Why Georgina Homeowners Choose Screen Express
We stock 20×20 fine mesh in our van and can replace your existing screens on the same visit without special ordering. The mesh fits all standard aluminum frame profiles and is available in grey and charcoal. Airflow is reduced by approximately 30% compared to standard mesh, a trade-off that every Georgina lakefront homeowner who has experienced a May hatch with standard screens accepts without hesitation. For Keswick North suburban properties further from the water, targeted installation on patio doors and the windows most exposed to evening insects is usually the most practical approach.

Spring Lakefront Screen Replacement: Jackson's Point
· 2024Problem
A converted cottage on the Lake Simcoe waterfront in Jackson's Point had screens that had not been replaced since the property was converted to year-round use in the early 2000s. The aluminum frames were corroded at the corners, the mesh had oxidized to a grey-brown colour, and the spline had cracked and pulled free at every lower corner. The owners also reported mayfly insects entering through closed windows during the May hatch.
Solution
Replaced all 9 window screens and the patio door screen. All frames were rebuilt in new aluminum stock. The existing frames were too corroded to re-use. Mesh: 20×20 fine mesh in charcoal on all lakeside-facing windows and the patio door; heavy-duty 18×16 fibreglass on the remaining windows. The owners reported the May hatch was fully blocked the following spring.
Muskoka Room Installation: Keswick South
· 2025Problem
A year-round home in Keswick South with a covered deck adjacent to a low-lying area near the Cook's Bay shoreline had been unusable in the evening from May through August. The owners had tried torches, fans, and sprays without lasting effect. The covered deck structure was already in place with posts and a roof.
Solution
Installed a full-perimeter screen enclosure on the existing covered deck using commercial-grade aluminum framing and 20×20 fine mesh on all panels facing the water and low-lying side, 18×16 on the house-facing panels. Added a hinged screen door on the primary access side. The owners reported using the space comfortably through September.
