Frequently asked questions
Common questions about KEYSTONE FABRICS from 3G Electric.
What materials are used in KEYSTONE FABRICS privacy and shade screens?
KEYSTONE FABRICS privacy and shade screens are manufactured from high-density polyethylene (HDPE). This material is selected for its resistance to moisture, UV radiation, and mildew, making it suitable for outdoor use in various climates. The HDPE mesh is woven to provide a balance of airflow and visual screening, reducing wind load while obscuring sight lines. The screens do not include any metal components, which minimizes corrosion risk in humid or coastal environments.
What are the available dimensions for KEYSTONE FABRICS FN series screens?
The FN series screens are available in two heights: 5.66 ft (approximately 1.73 m) and 7.66 ft (approximately 2.33 m). Roll lengths are offered in 50 ft (approximately 15.24 m) and 150 ft (approximately 45.72 m). Color options are green and black. Each product SKU encodes these parameters; for example, FN-6x50-G indicates a 5.66 ft height, 50 ft length, green color. These dimensions allow coverage of standard fence heights and variable run lengths.
Can KEYSTONE FABRICS screens be used for permanent installations?
KEYSTONE FABRICS screens are designed for both temporary and semi-permanent applications. The HDPE material is UV-stabilized to resist degradation from sunlight, but the screens are not intended for structural or security applications. For permanent installations, the screens should be tensioned and secured to a rigid frame or fence system. Regular inspection for wear, especially in high-wind areas, is recommended to maintain performance over time.
How do I install KEYSTONE FABRICS privacy screens?
Installation typically involves unrolling the screen and attaching it to a supporting structure such as chain-link fencing, wooden posts, or cable systems. The screens can be secured using zip ties, clips, or lacing cord through the mesh openings. No specialized tools are required, and the material can be cut with standard scissors or a utility knife to fit irregular spaces. The screens are lightweight, allowing single-person handling for smaller rolls.
Are KEYSTONE FABRICS screens fire-rated or flame-retardant?
The available product specifications for the FN series do not indicate a fire rating or flame-retardant treatment. The screens are made from HDPE, which is a thermoplastic that can melt or burn when exposed to open flame. For applications requiring fire resistance, such as near welding operations or in areas with strict fire codes, alternative materials or additional protective measures should be considered. Consult local regulations for specific requirements.
