Surely this is possible.
But cutting this mesh is definitely slower than conventional metal grille.
Anyway, if you are aiming for high security, mesh is not the product.

During the first MCO, I managed to secure a super deal for RM57 psqft from an unknown vendor.

Immediately ordered for my folding side and swing front doors, total 130sqft.

The outcome is definitely much better than those security mesh grille from mosquito net vendors. Visually, I don't see much difference comparing to panther protect product too. No idea with optima.

Anyway, the deal is over and price is back to about RM100 psqft. If you are looking for great deal, it may happen anytime during this pandemic.

Please Google for LCL Aluminum.
They are from johor but serving Klang Valley customers too.
As I said, the super deal is no longer available.
The price is back to market rate..

Just ask them. :-)
Also, they provide sample to show.
Mine is 0.9mm SUS304.

I had similar mesh door in my previous house for many years, hence I roughly can know the difference.

Your 1.2mm mesh is Aluminium or Stainless Steel?

My previous mesh door had 1.2mm (or 1.3mm .. i forgot) but it is Aluminium.
The vendor said stainless steel has 0.9 or 1.0 mm only.
Anything thicker should be Aluminium and it will definitely make the room dimmer.

Why would you want to do this?

The cost for both mesh and ACP awning could be higher than normal tile roof and brick wall.
Privacy is a problem when you turn on the light at night.
Furthermore, no matter how good is the product, 24/7 exposure to sun and rain will cause the paint to fade off eventually.
The mesh is normally powder coated which is not friendly for normal painting.

The only benefit is the extension work with this is less messy than the wet work.

Yes only if you want a concrete slab roof.
anyway, it’s out of topic in this thread.

FYI, mesh screen is not cheap.
The final cost may be same or even more than your wet work extension.
