Concrete reinforcing welded wire mesh Description:
Welded reinforcing mesh also known as welded wire reinforcement, is a kind of mesh reinforcement. Reinforcing mesh is a high efficient, economical and flexible for concrete reinforcement, greatly save the construction time and reducing the labor force. It is widely used in road and highway construction, bridge engineering, tunnel lining, housing construction, floor, roof and walls, etc.
Standard reinforcing mesh sizes are 6.0m x 2.4m for the SL and RL range of products.

· The welded wire fabric makes them easier to work on.
· There are different diameters of steel reinforcing mesh each suited for a particular application.
· There are different designs of steel reinforcing mesh from bent and rolls to flat sheets.
· As per BS 4482 standards and codes, the stainless steel wire used in the manufacture of the steel reinforcing mesh has a 510MPa tensile strength and 485MPa minimum proof stress.
· The steel reinforcing mesh is rigid making it possible for you to control concrete cover during construction.
· Manufacturers produce steel reinforcing mesh under SANS1024 Standard Specifications.
· The steel bars stay intact whenever immersed in concrete because they are carefully welded in mats.
· You don’t have to apply additional surface treatment to the steel reinforcing mesh before use.
· Less field labor needed when making reinforced concrete slabs using this mesh thus drastically speeding up the construction process.
· The mesh is easy to load and unload, and easy to handle at the working site.
· Properly mixed concrete is poured into the mesh and then given time to dry out. The concrete, as it continues to dry out, it grips the steel bars tightly creating a bond stress between these two materials. This bond stress is essential because it reduces bending and makes reinforced concrete slabs stronger.
· Square opening steel reinforced mesh: This mesh has stainless wires that runs vertically and horizontally supporting each other while forming small squares.
· Rectangular steel reinforced mesh: This mesh has stainless wires that runs vertically and horizontally supporting each other while forming smaller rectangular shapes.
· Welded steel reinforced mesh for building vertical walls.
· Customized types, also known as special steel reinforced mesh.
· Concrete footpaths
· Industrial and commercial ground slabs
· Precast Panel construction
· Residential slabs and footings
