Elige malla para cerramiento de piscina por ubicación, no por etiqueta. Usa 17×14 u 18×14 en las paredes, donde importan el flujo de aire y la visibilidad; 20×20 antiinsectos donde el problema sean los insectos pequeños; una tela más resistente en las zonas del techo y las puertas; y 80% o 90% malla solar únicamente en los paneles orientados al sol. Consulta el gramaje de la tela de cada modelo.

No existe una única malla ideal para un cerramiento de piscina

Una jaula de piscina cumple varias funciones bajo una misma estructura. El techo recibe el sol directo y los residuos que caen. Los paneles de las paredes determinan la visibilidad y la brisa. Las puertas y los paneles inferiores reciben golpes de personas, mascotas y equipos de piscina. Una sola malla rara vez resuelve bien las tres necesidades, por eso “la mejor malla para un cerramiento de piscina” recibe una respuesta diferente de cada instalador al que le preguntes.

Malla para piscinas y patios de nuestra gama: modelos y cifras

Smartex Screen se fundó en 2005 y teje y recubre su propia tela mosquitera. La línea para piscinas y patios utiliza fibra de vidrio, poliéster o poliéster recubierto de vinilo, según el modelo. La tabla muestra ejemplos publicados. Cada fila corresponde a un producto y ninguna de las cifras se aplica a toda la línea.

¿Qué malla va en cada lugar? Guía por zonas

Nothing stops a specifier from using different meshes on one enclosure. Each is a separate roll, so the order simply splits by zone. The roof row is where fabric weight deserves the closest look, because that panel carries the most sun and debris load; the table is a starting shortlist, and the spec sheet for the model decides.

17×14 against 20×20: what you give up

The first number is threads per inch in one direction and the second is threads per inch in the other. A 17×14 mesh therefore has a rectangular opening, and a 20×20 mesh has a square, smaller one.
The smaller opening is the reason no-see-um screen exists: it is the option for buyers whose complaint is tiny insects getting through. The cost is that more threads per inch leave less open area, so airflow and view drop compared with 17×14 or 18×14 of similar construction. No single percentage applies to every model, so ask for open-area data on the specific pair you are comparing.
Which way to lean depends on the complaint. If the complaint is no-see-ums, a 17×14 wall panel will not fix it. If the complaint is a stuffy enclosure, putting 20×20 on every panel will make it worse. Mixing counts by zone avoids both.

Mesh count does not tell you the fabric weight

Three 20×20 products in our displayed examples weigh approximately 176, 215 and 305 g/m². That is a spread of roughly 130 g/m² at the same mesh count. A buyer comparing “20×20” quotes line by line may be comparing three different fabrics.
A usable quote comparison lists four items per line: mesh count, fabric weight, material and roll size. Weight is also not a strength rating.

Where 80% and 90% solar screen belongs

Solar screen is offered in 80% and 90% options. It belongs on specific panels, usually the ones that face the afternoon sun, rather than across the whole cage. The trade-off is the one you would expect: a screen made to cut solar load also cuts light and view, so a full-cage installation changes how the enclosure feels. Ask the supplier what the percentage refers to and what test basis stands behind it before you put the number in a catalog.

Six steps to specify a pool cage screen order

1. Split a typical enclosure into zones: roof, walls, doors and lower panels, sun-facing panels.
2. Shortlist one mesh per zone from the tables above, written as count, weight and material.
3. Request the spec sheet for each model. For any claim you plan to repeat, such as Florida Building Code-related references, GREENGUARD Gold, QUV weathering tests, REACH, RoHS or CE, request the report itself and read which exact model it covers, who issued it, its number and whether it is still valid. Our catalog references these for parts of the pool-screen portfolio, and scope is confirmed model by model.
4. Order samples. Some products and customized samples carry a sample fee, with the FAQ referencing approximately USD 50 to 200. That figure is sample policy and not a product price.
5. Confirm roll width and length, which can be customized, and the MOQ. A publicly presented example for screen mesh is approximately 5,000 m², and it varies by material, model, color, packaging and customization.
6. Confirm lead time. Website guidance puts standard production at approximately 30 to 45 days and simple customization at approximately 6 to 8 weeks, to be confirmed per order.

Pricing is quotation-based. Mesh count, fabric weight, roll width and length, color, packaging, el nivel de personalización, la cantidad solicitada, las condiciones de envío y el mercado de destino influyen en el precio.

Preguntas frecuentes

¿Qué densidad de malla se utiliza para un cerramiento de piscina?

En nuestra gama para piscinas y patios, las densidades 17×14 y 18×14 son las opciones de uso general para aberturas grandes. Las de 20×17 y 20×20 son opciones más finas; la malla 20×20 antiinsectos diminutos se ofrece como protección frente a insectos pequeños.

¿Se puede utilizar más de un tipo de malla en un mismo cerramiento?

Sí. Cada malla es un rollo independiente, por lo que el pedido se divide por zonas. Las combinaciones habituales son una tela más resistente en el techo, una malla más ligera o de mayor visibilidad en las paredes y una malla solar en los paneles orientados hacia el sol.

¿Un número de malla más alto significa que la tela es más resistente?

No. Tres ejemplos de 20×20 de nuestra gama pesan aproximadamente 176, 215 y 305 g/m². El número describe la abertura, mientras que el peso y el material describen la tela. Las afirmaciones sobre resistencia requieren un informe de pruebas del modelo específico.

¿Es 80% o 90% la malla solar adecuada para todo el cerramiento?

Está especificada para paneles concretos. Comprueba qué mide el porcentaje y cuál es la base de la prueba; después decide cuánta luz y visibilidad estás dispuesto a sacrificar en cada panel.

 What does pool cage screen cost per roll?

Pricing is quotation-based and depends on mesh count, fabric weight, roll size, color, packaging, customization, quantity, shipping terms and destination. We do not publish a price range.

Can you customize mesh count and weight for private label?

Custom mesh count, weight, stiffness, roll dimensions, packaging, barcodes and multi-language instructions are part of our OEM and ODM scope. Website guidance for development runs approximately 6 to 8 weeks for simple customization, 10 to 14 for moderate development and 16 to 20 for full ODM, all confirmed per project.
