Black mesh is recommended as it is more invisible day & night.

Grey mesh is good during the day but has a blur-ish effect at night.

White mesh is not recommended as it reflects light & will be very visible.

As follow up, I installed the magnetic fly screens as per instructions. The results are more than satisfactory. Challenges included tensioning the flyscreen, and securing the magnetic strip to frame with the fly screen in the channel. eventually completed. results are good. it works. Next time I wouldn't choose white magnetic frame for the coffee brown aluminium frame. otherwise, all is good. Thank you......David W

The mosquito screen works great. I installed it on my balcony sliding door (one side) so I can still open at least one panel.....Stanry

Thank you very much for demonstrating patiently how to fix the insect screen.
We managed to fix it properly without any issue.
Really like the product very much except i find that the plastic smell was a bit strong ... think it is going off slowly..... Hai San
