Could we get a reference for that 'fact' or remove it? *As far as I know*, scrims do not operate in this fashion. They simply block light.
Scrims having wire mesh appear to have limited lifespans because they are exposed for prolonged periods of time to very hot light.
Does anybody know if scrims cost more depending on the kind of wire mesh they are equipped with? Does an aluminum mesh cost less than a stainless steel mesh?
Is the lifespan of a typical scrim limited more on account of their fragility (that is, their tendency to get bent up and twisted) than the possibility the very high temperatures cause them to oxidize?

This article would be improved with an image of some kind. I came looking for info but the text can only do so much. I'd do it myself but I literally know nothing about them other than what the article states. ILikeFish ( talk) 13:09, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
It would seem proper to include an explanation of where the name "scrim" has originated.
I guess it came from a combination of "screen" and "dim", but that’s just a guess. Also interesting would be an (approximate) time when it was first used. Is anyone knowledgeable in the field interested to add this info? Geke ( talk) 13:05, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
