The Most Suitable Wiremesh Size for House Roofs

Wiremesh is an important material in reinforced concrete work, including for making house roofs. Its function is to strengthen the concrete structure so that it does not crack easily and is able to withstand loads better. However, choosing the right wiremesh size is crucial so that the casting results are stronger and more efficient.

Here is a guide to choosing the best wiremesh size for your house roof project:

1. Common Wiremesh Sizes for House Roofs
For residential roofs, M6 or M8 wiremesh is generally used, depending on the thickness of the roof and the calculation of the building structure.

Wiremesh M6: Wire diameter 6 mm. Suitable for light to medium roofs with normal loads.

Wiremesh M8: Wire diameter 8 mm. Recommended for two-story roofs or those with additional loads such as water tanks, towers, or rooftop areas.

The standard size of a wiremesh sheet is usually 2.1 m x 5.4 m, with a distance between wires of 15 cm x 15 cm.

2. Adjust to the Thickness of the Concrete Roof
Concrete roof 10–12 cm: Can use M6 wire mesh.

Concrete roof 12–15 cm and above: It is better to use M8 wire mesh.

If the structure of the house has a fairly large span between beams, consider using larger wire mesh or adding additional reinforcement.

3. Advantages of Using Wire Mesh
Speeds up project work because it can be stretched.

Reduces errors in the distance between reinforcements because they have been produced with uniform distances.

Quality is more guaranteed because it uses stronger threaded wire (BJTD).

4. Tips for Using Wire Mesh on Roofs
Make sure the wire mesh is installed in the middle of the thickness of the roof (not attached directly to the bottom) for maximum durability.

Use spacers (stands) or small pieces of concrete so that the position of the wire mesh does not shift during casting.

For the wire mesh connection area, overlap at least one box (15 cm) so that the structure remains unified.
