What is a wire mesh ?
Wire mesh is a steel reinforcement supporting material that is often used for the uses of concrete. It can be found in square or rectangular grid fabric which is created by joining a number of high-strength wires in creating the Wire Mesh. Though it is often put into use for the needs of construction and logistics especially it is made following the international and Malaysian Standards as made by the Malaysian standard.

The following are the main uses wire mesh:
- Usage in slab reinforcement
- To Strengthen wall
- Precast goods like box culvert, drainage, U-drain and pile culvert
- In the manufacturing of cages
Types of wire mesh
Type A: This is a fabric spaced in square with 200 by 200 spacing
Type B: The rectangular fabric mesh comes in 100mm main wire spacing and 200 mm cross wire spacing.
Type C: This is a rectangular fabric that comes in 100mm main wire spacing and 00mm cross wire spacing.
Type D: It is a square fabric that can be found in 100 by 100 spacing.
Advantages of the usage of wire mesh.
Easy to be installed
A reinforced wire mesh is way easier to install compared to any other types of wire mesh. This is only because it does not require any existing fixing, cutting and ridging work. All you need to do is get the made wire mesh, measure the surface area of which you are going to put into use, cut to your desired size and attach it to the surface. It is that easy.
Enhance safety in the workplace
Since all the work of fixing and and also assembling it can be done in breeze, you are also able to ensure that the safety in the workplace is assured. Overall it reduces any types of injuries and accidents that possibly happen in the workplace and this is due to the wire reinforcement used.
Assured quality
Typically the wire mesh is made to be sturdy to surpass all types of works and all types of surfaces. Its sides are welded making sure to withstand any projects done with it. It is very strong even when you pour concrete or cement over it, the steel doesn’t move.
Reduces the risk of human error
rebar or bar placement in the work of construction which is done manually is quite prone to human error. It is something that needs to be done in full on protection and the person should be an expert but with the usage of the wire mesh, you can be sure with the dimensions that you are using and ensure that it is actually correct.
Reduce the risk of cracking
A reinforced mesh generally has properties that are known to give protection as the anti cracking. It can also aid in preventing stress and deformation that is usually caused by the variations as seen in the temperature indifference. Go for mesh wire with a smaller diameter to ease your jobs.
