Wiremesh for Concrete Floors

In the world of construction, the strength of concrete floors is highly dependent on the quality and method of reinforcement. One important material that is widely used to reinforce concrete floors is wire mesh. This material is in the form of a woven steel wire that is interconnected to form a box pattern, and functions to withstand tensile forces in concrete structures.

Why is the use of wire mesh important for concrete floors? Here is the explanation:

Function of Wire Mesh on Concrete Floors

• Increases Concrete Tensile Strength
  Concrete has high compressive strength, but is weak against tensile forces. Wire mesh functions as reinforcement to strengthen the ability of concrete floors to withstand tensile loads, cracks, and friction.
• Speeds Up the Construction Process
  Compared to assembling concrete iron one by one, the use of ready-to-use wire mesh speeds up the installation process, saving project time.
• Provides Even Load Distribution
  Wire mesh helps distribute the load more evenly on concrete floors, reducing the risk of premature cracking and extending the life of the structure.
• Controls Cracks
  Fine cracks that may occur during the concrete shrinkage process can be controlled with wire mesh, making the floor more stable and safe.

Types of Wiremesh Used for Concrete Floors
Wiremesh is available in various sizes and thicknesses, depending on the needs of the project. Generally, for concrete floors, wiremesh with a diameter of 5 mm to 8 mm is used with a box size of around 15 cm x 15 cm or 20 cm x 20 cm.

The selection of the type of wiremesh must consider:

• The load to be supported by the floor
• The area of ​​the floor
• The thickness of the concrete layer

Tips for Installing Wiremesh for Concrete Floors

• Make sure the wiremesh is located in the middle position of the concrete thickness, not directly on the base or surface.
• Use a spacer or base to keep the wiremesh position raised from the ground surface.
• The joints between wiremesh sheets must overlap at least one box and are tied using bending wire.
• Make sure the surface of the wiremesh is clean from oil or dirt before casting, to ensure maximum bonding with the concrete.
