No-See-Um & Fine Mesh Screens in King
No-see-um screens use a 20×20 mesh (20 openings per inch in each direction) to block midges, gnats, black flies, and the small biting insects that pass straight through standard 18×16 mesh. They are the right choice for properties near water, wetlands, and open rural land where fine insects are active through summer evenings. King Township is the strongest market for 20×20 fine mesh screens in our entire service area. Screen Express installs fine mesh screens for King Township homes, fitting them to existing frames or building new ones on-site.
King Township sits on the Oak Ridges Moraine, a glacial landform that feeds dozens of streams, wetlands, and springs across the municipality. The Humber River headwaters, Cold Creek, the Schomberg River, and the moraine-drainage channels that cross rural lots create the conditions that produce aggressive insect seasons: standing water in low areas after spring thaw, drainage channels that never fully dry in summer, and the combination of rural open sky and moist creek-bottom air that insects favour. Equestrian properties add a further layer: standing water in paddocks and the organic matter associated with horses create breeding conditions for mosquitoes and horseflies that are separate from the moraine drainage. Black flies, a spring pest near moving water, are common in King Township in May and early June in a way that is rarely experienced by homeowners further south in York Region. Fine mesh is not an upgrade for King Township rural properties; it is the practical baseline.

Why King 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. In our experience, King Township homeowners who have spent even one full summer near a creek or paddock with standard screens typically accept this trade-off without hesitation. For rural properties where only ground-floor windows and patio doors need the upgrade, a targeted approach keeps the cost manageable.

Screened Porch Enclosure: Equestrian Property
· 2024Problem
A 4-acre equestrian property east of Schomberg had a large covered patio adjacent to the paddocks. Mosquitoes and horseflies made the space unusable by early evening from June through August. The owners had tried citronella and fans without success.
Solution
Installed a full-perimeter screen enclosure on the covered patio using commercial-grade aluminum framing and 20×20 fine mesh on all panels facing the paddock side, 18×16 on the house-facing panels. Added a hinged screen door for the main access point. The owners reported using the space comfortably through September.
Estate Home Custom Window Screens: King City
· 2025Problem
A 7,500 sq ft custom home in the King City estate corridor had 22 windows across two floors, all custom-sized to the architect's specification, with no standard screen fitting any of them. Several large picture windows on the main floor had never had screens installed.
Solution
Measured and fabricated 22 custom screens on-site in heavy-duty aluminum frames with standard fibreglass mesh. All windows screened in a single visit. The homeowner added a follow-up order for pet-resistant mesh on the three patio-level windows after a dog damaged two screens within the first month.
