Product Introduction

Along with woven wire mesh, welded wire mesh is one of the two main types of wire cloth products. Welded wire mesh is typically the less expensive of the two materials. It consists of a grid pattern featuring a series of parallel longitudinal wires that are welded together at the point where the wires intersect. The strength and thickness of the weld are determined by factors such as weld pressure, time and temperature. Welded wire mesh can also be bent or cut to form a variety of shapes without causing the wires to come apart.

Welded Wire Mesh Benefits

Welded wire mesh’s mat-like design and construction enables it to remain firmly in place even when holding heavy materials such as concrete. It works well in bending applications, as the mat is bent as a single unit instead of a series of pieces. This also minimizes the risk of misplacement. Welded wire mesh offers a cost-effective alternative, as it requires less reinforcement than when using steel bars.

Welded wire cloth is also easier to work with than many other types of metal materials. Welded wire fabric is quick and simple to install and is not easily displaced by workers laying concrete. The ease of use can reduce completion time and help projects remain on budget. Faster construction time also minimizes the exposure of building components to the elements, resulting in higher-quality work.

You’ll be able to complete more work with less field labor, which frees up manpower, material, equipment, and resources for other areas of your project.

Welded Wire Mesh Applications

Welded wire mesh’s combination of low cost, ease of use and versatility makes it a popular choice for many different applications.

◆ Fences and gates: You’ll find welded wire mesh fences and gates installed at residences and all types of commercial and industrial properties.

◆ Architectural uses such as building facades: Although welded wire fabric is known for its strength and durability, architects and designers often use it to enhance aesthetic appeal.

◆ Architectural Wire Mesh for Green Building Design: Using welded wire mesh can help achieve LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) credits and certification.

◆ Infill panels for railings and divider walls: Woven wire infill panels are used often as partitions or divider walls due to its clean and sometimes modern look.

◆ Animal control: Farmers, ranchers and animal control professionals use fencing made from welded wire mesh to contain livestock and stray animals.

◆ Screens for doors and windows: Welded wire mesh screens provide a sturdy material and effective insect control when installed in windows.

◆ Machine guards: Use welded wire cloth guards for industrial machinery.

◆ Shelving and partitions: Welded wire mesh’s strength and stability enable it to serve as shelving for storing heavy products and as partitions that promote visibility.

◆ Behind-the-scenes use in plumbing, walls and ceilings: Wire mesh provides support for pipes installed in the walls and ceilings of a structure.

◆ Gardens to keep bugs away from their plants and vegetables: Mesh with a low open area percentage serves as a screen that prevents insects from destroying plants.

◆ Agriculture: To serve as barrier fencing, corn cribs, livestock shade panels and temporary holding pens.
