2 Types of Wiremesh and Their Uses

Wiremesh is a construction material consisting of a series of steel wires arranged in rows and welded at the meeting points to form a net with a uniform size. This material is widely used in various construction applications because of its strength, flexibility, and ease of installation. Here are two types of wiremesh that are often used in construction along with their uses:

1. Sheet Wiremesh
Characteristics:

Sheet wiremesh consists of sheets of steel mesh welded to a certain size. The standard size of sheet wiremesh is usually around 2.1 meters x 5.4 meters, but can be adjusted to project needs.

The size of the wire and the distance between the wires in sheet wiremesh can vary, for example sizes M4, M5, M6, to M12, with the distance between the wires varying from 10 cm to 15 cm.

Uses:

Concrete Floor Reinforcement: Sheet wiremesh is often used as reinforcement in the manufacture of concrete floors, sidewalks, and concrete roads. The strength of the net helps distribute the load evenly and prevents cracks in the concrete surface.

Retaining Wall Construction: Wire mesh sheets are also used in retaining wall construction to provide additional stability and prevent landslides.

2. Wire Mesh Rolls
Characteristics:

Wire mesh rolls consist of welded steel mesh that is then rolled up for easy transportation and installation. Standard sizes of wire mesh rolls vary, but are generally more flexible than wire mesh sheets.

Wire mesh rolls are available in a variety of sizes, and are usually easier to adapt to projects with smaller areas or irregular shapes.

Uses:

Studding Wall Reinforcement: Wire mesh rolls are often used as plaster reinforcement on concrete or brick walls, to prevent cracks and increase the strength of the wall structure.

Temporary Fencing: Wire mesh rolls can also be used as temporary fencing on construction sites, for safety or to delimit work areas.

Choosing the right type of wire mesh is essential to ensure strength and stability in construction projects. Wire mesh sheets are ideal for larger projects such as concrete floors and retaining walls, while wire mesh rolls are more flexible and suitable for applications that require adaptation to smaller shapes or areas.
