Types of wire mesh for concrete slabs

1. Welded wire mesh (WWM): The most common type, welded from cold-drawn steel wire. Wire gauge and mesh size can be customized.
2. Expanded metal mesh: Made from a single piece of steel cut and stretched into a diamond pattern. Has good strength and drainage properties.
3. Fiber mesh: Made from small randomly oriented fibers mixed into concrete. Has some crack resistance, but not as strong as wire mesh.

Benefits of Using Wire Mesh in Concrete Slabs

1. Added Strength: This heavy-duty 2×4 galvanized welded wire mesh panel is very durable and in addition to being resistant to cracking can be used for wildfowl coops and large dog kennels.
2. Customizable aperture: A variety of opening options are available, including 60x150mm, 50x75mm, 50x50mm, 50x100mm, and 100x200mm.
3. Multiple Finishes: Choose from galvanized, PVC coated, powder coated, and more.
4. Various sizes: Available in lengths of 5m-30m and heights of 0.8-2.4m, customizable.
5. Cost-effective: Compared with other reinforcement methods such as steel bars, wire mesh is relatively cheap and easy to install. It is a cheap alternative to steel mesh.
6. Conforms to international standards: Produced in accordance with ISO 9001:2015 standards, conforming to international quality standards, safe and reliable.

Can you use wire mesh in the concrete slab？

The answer is split into situations, depending on what you are using it for.

1. Simple projects

Wire mesh is acceptable for projects with low loads, such as single-story houses, ordinary parks, and simple shelters.

2. Lightweight, Minor Works

For projects with low structural requirements, such as residential driveways, sidewalks, or patios, wire mesh provides sufficient support to reinforce concrete slabs and walls. 10-gauge wire mesh is commonly used, as it strengthens the concrete during temperature fluctuations. 6-gauge wire mesh is also commonly used, but is heavier.

3. Large, complex projects

Wire mesh is essential for bridges, airport runways, floor slabs, and more complex projects. It helps prevent horizontal or vertical separation after cracking, but it does not increase tensile strength or rigidity. Therefore, reinforcing steel bars are also necessary to increase rigidity and strength, but to prevent the structure from yielding due to overloading.

How to lay wire mesh for concrete？

Tools: Cutting tools for the steel and the wire, bar chairs, power lead, safety gear, measuring tape, and joining wire.

1. Excavate the ground, measure the length of the trench, level each flat surface, and lay bar chairs at about 1 meter intervals, symmetrically placed along the trench.

2. Cut the wire mesh to be cut, and tie the overlapping mesh with the joining wire first, covering a length of at least 500mm.

3. Then Pour concrete.

FAQs

1. Should I put wire mesh in the concrete slab?

Larger projects in general, such as utility buildings, parking lots, viaducts, and airports definitely require the placement of reinforcing wire mesh in concrete slabs. Concrete slabs on their own are usually less than ideal, so the placement of wire mesh not only distributes the load weight evenly, holds the material together, provides support and extra strength in addition to helping to minimize cracking and settlement of the concrete slab. It is an essential step in construction work.

2. What gauge wire mesh for concrete slab?

The gauge of the wire mesh usually depends on the actual situation. Standard construction wire mesh applications are residential and light commercial concrete reinforcement. For light loads, 10 gauge wire mesh is sufficient; for higher loads you may need 8-gauge (D2.1), 6-gauge (D2.9), or 5-gauge.

3. What size is steel mesh for a concrete slab?

Standard reinforcing mesh panel size is 6.0 m x 2.4 m (holes: 150 mm x 150 mm), 1/8 inch (4 mm) thick. Trench mesh products are available in lengths of 6.0 meters and standard widths of 200-400 mm.

4. When to use wire mesh in concrete?

When your project is slightly more complex, or your building requires higher load bearing, simple concrete is not enough for the project, especially when the concrete shrinks and cracks as it dries. This is when the slab needs to be reinforced by embedding wire mesh or fiber mesh etc., in the wet soil. Secondly, proper soil compaction can also alleviate cracking due to uneven settlement.

 

5. Does wire mesh keep concrete from cracking?

Rebar cannot prevent concrete from cracking; its purpose is to strengthen the structure and slow the propagation of cracks. Concrete and rebar have different coefficients of thermal expansion, resulting in different elongations when subjected to stress. Their strength properties differ: concrete is strong in compression but weak in tension. Under thermal or mechanical stress, concrete cracks first, before the rebar takes effect. Just as when a concrete beam bends at the base, the rebar acts like a bungee cord, holding the structure together. Therefore, the bond between wire mesh and concrete is crucial and plays a significant role in construction.

6. What is the wire mesh in concrete called?

Welded or reinforcing mesh, available in rolls or sheets, usually galvanized. Reinforcing steel contributes to axial strain and cracking throughout the floor slab. Increases the tensile strength of the mesh.

7. Where should wire mesh be placed in concrete?

In the case of 4 – 6 inch thick residential slabs, the grid should be placed at mid-depth. It is difficult to place the grid in the upper third if you want to avoid the saw kerf and get a small amount of coverage. It is recommended that it be anchored in the center of the floor slab. The grid must be at least 5 cm above the compacted substrate and about 4 cm below the top of the slab. The most common methods of laying WWR are (1) Chair WWR, (1) Pouring concrete in two layers and placing WWR in the first layer.
