−	Window mesh is made of wire and is generally fitted externally across windows to prevent potential damage from vandalism - stopping balls, bricks or stones from shattering the glass. The material used is weldmesh, which is constructed of steel. Window mesh is easy to install and maintain and is a popular choice for schools, garages, and offices.<br />	+
