FAQs

What types of applications require a heavy-duty mesh like the Superscreen 401?
The 401 is engineered for demanding commercial and industrial applications where structural integrity under load is non-negotiable. It is the mesh behind Australia’s truck and, rubbish skip tarps, and performs equally well as a construction-site screen for perimeter hoardings, safety screening on multi-storey projects, and wind screens for sporting facilities or industrial yards.

How does the strength of the 401 compare to other screening fabrics?
The 401 places itself in an entirely different performance category. At 440 gsm with a tensile strength of 3,430 N/50mm in both warp and weft directions, it delivers more than four times the tensile performance of the Superscreen 239, providing incredible tear strength and robust load containment across large surface areas.

How well does the Superscreen 401 perform under tension and extreme weather conditions?
The 401’s strength credentials are exceptional.  It’s very high UV resistance and fungal treatment protect the fabric’s structural and visual integrity across Australia’s most demanding outdoor environments. Further, it is purpose-rated for high-velocity wind events that are common across much of Australia – from cyclone-prone coastal regions to the exposed plains of inland construction sites.

Will the 401 sag or stretch out of shape over time?
No. Excellent dimensional stability ensures the 401 retains its geometry under sustained tension and temperature variations – which is critical for installations that remain in place for extended periods without adjustment.

What level of shade, privacy, and airflow does this fabric provide?
A 75% shade factor and 25% light transmission make the 401 effective as a privacy and screening solution. Its 1 mm aperture is precisely sized to maintain airflow and ambient light, delivering a clear visual barrier.

What colour choices are available for industrial branding?
Available in Green, Black, Blue, Grey and white the 401 offers the widest colour selection in the Superscreen range, supporting application-specific and brand-matched specifications across the construction, transport, and sporting sectors.
