A plurality of rectangular openings are formed from the warp and shute filaments with each rectangular opening having a length and width. The length to width ratio of the rectangular openings is between approximately 2. 7 to 2. 8. The length of the rectangular openings to the diameter of the shute filaments is a ratio of between approximately 5. 5 to 5. 7. The screen cloth is calendared to assist in locking the intersections of the warp and shute filaments in place.
