Steel Reinforcement Mesh

Steel Reinforcement Mesh is a commonly used reinforcement method in construction projects. It mainly adds steel mesh to concrete structures to enhance the strength and stability of components. This method is the most basic and common in the construction field. Wanzhi Steel has rich experience in the production of steel mesh and specializes in manufacturing steel mesh. It is a conscientious supplier around you.

What is steel reinforcement mesh?

Specifically, the wire mesh is laid on the surface or inside of the concrete structure (such as walls, floor slabs, beams, and columns, etc.), and it is firmly combined with the concrete through a specific method (such as welding, tying or mechanical connection) to form a composite structure. This composite structure can more effectively resist external loads and internal stresses, improving the concrete structure’s overall bearing capacity and durability.                                                             【Get A Free Quote】

Steel Reinforcement Mesh Construction Technology

1. Surface treatment: To ensure that the surface is flat and free of debris and loose layers;

2. Laying wire mesh: Lay the wire mesh on the surface or inside of the concrete structure according to the design requirements and fix it;

3. Pouring concrete: Pour concrete on the laid wire mesh and make the concrete and wire mesh tightly combined by vibration and other methods;

4. Maintenance: After the concrete is initially set, maintenance work is performed to ensure that the concrete reaches the designed strength.

Can I use mesh instead of steel reinforcing rebar?

It depends on the use. In some cases, wire mesh can be used as a substitute for steel bars. However, the mesh size and wire diameter of wire mesh are usually smaller, and its load-bearing capacity and strength may not be as good as traditional steel bars. Therefore, wire mesh may not be able to completely replace steel bars in applications that require heavy loads or have high structural requirements.

Which is cheaper, rebar or wire mesh?

The same amount of welded mesh is cheaper than steel bars.

Generally speaking, the price of steel bars with larger diameter and higher quality will be relatively higher; while the price of wire mesh is related to its mesh size, wire diameter, and material (such as stainless steel, galvanized, etc.).

In addition, manufacturers will give more favorable prices for bulk purchases. So the purchase quantity will affect the unit price.

Is steel mesh as good as rebar?

It is not possible to simply say whether mesh (welded wire mesh) is as good as rebar (rebar). The choice between the two depends on the specific project requirements, cost budget, and construction conditions.

Welded wire mesh can provide a more uniform stress distribution. In some cases, the mesh may be an economical and effective choice; in other cases, a higher-strength rebar may be required to ensure the safety and stability of the structure.

Name	Rebar	Mesh
Definition	Rebar is a material widely used in the construction industry	In the field of construction, mesh usually refers to welded wire mesh, which is also a material used for concrete reinforcement
Performance	It has high strength, high toughness, and good weldability, which can effectively disperse the tensile stress in concrete and improve the overall stability and durability of the structure	Easy to install, fast construction speed, relatively low cost, and can effectively enhance the tensile properties of concrete, but may not be as stable as steel bars under certain extreme stress conditions
Application	Large, heavy and complex structural construction projects, such as high-rise buildings, bridges, tunnels, etc.	Suitable for occasions where cost is controlled and structural strength requirements are not particularly high, such as concrete reinforcement of walls, floors, etc.
Price	Relatively high	Relatively low

Why is reinforcing steel mesh used?

Does steel mesh stop concrete from cracking?

It will have this effect, but generally, steel mesh and steel bars are matched. The Steel Reinforcement Bar forms an internal skeleton within the component, and the mesh and concrete are integrated to strengthen it. In this way, the steel bars and steel mesh work together to resist cracking and significantly improve overall tensile strength.

Why put steel mesh in concrete?

With concrete, there is nothing we can do to prevent it from cracking, but when cracks do appear, wire mesh can hold the material together. In addition, it helps to evenly distribute the weight of the load, which is especially important if your building is not up to standard.

How thick is reinforcing mesh?

There is no specific number for this. Generally, the wire diameter of the mesh can be roughly measured by its wire diameter (i.e. the diameter of the steel wire that makes up the mesh). It usually ranges from a few millimeters to tens of millimeters.

For example, some products may have steel wires with different wire diameters such as 5mm, 6mm, 7mm, or 8mm, and the mesh size may be 100x300mm, 200x200mm, etc.
