placed in a crisscross way. This mesh is made of stainless steel wire (
or sometimes in other materials depending on its application) to avoid corrosion and rust. The industrial welded mesh is generally used for a number of purposes and available in different sizes and shapes. It is very much related to the engineering, procurement and construction industry.
Application of Industrial Wire Mesh
Application of industrial welded mesh varies from infrastructural
projects, industries, construction sites, commercial sites, agriculture as well as residential areas. It is also used
in manhole chambers, tunnels and parking lots.
Wire
meshes are also used for security reasons. It helps to keep people out
of the secured premises and to protect people within. The welded mesh
is available in different styles and colors to suit different premises.
It ranges in different heights and are available in most of the online
stores. It can be obtained in the form of rolls.
In addition to
security measures, the stainless steel wire meshes are also used as a
protection against rodents, pests and other animals. It has very tiny
holes and is made of plastic or stainless steel or aluminium. Welded
mesh is widely used for construction purposes like paving of roads
which include paving of highways and airport roads. It is also used for
the construction of floors along with concrete slabs to ensure strength
and durability. Mostly anti rust wire mesh is used for construction
purposes as it does not yield to corrosion or rust.
Various Types of Welded Mesh
There
are various types of wire mesh that can be easily obtained from the
markets today due to its increasing usage and many advantageous
features.
PVC coated mesh: made of top quality stainless steel
iron, it is coated in PVC to augment its durability. The anti-corrosion
wire is covered in PVC and is extremely useful in fencing apartments,
homes and office buildings. Available in a range of colors like black,
white and green, this mesh can be obtained in the form of panels and
rolls.
Square opening electro galvanised wire mesh: this mesh is
also available in different colors and sizes and is mainly used for
fencing of buildings. Available in rolls and panels, it is mainly used
for structural buildings.
Galvanised mesh with zinc covering: this
is another variety of welded mesh that includes stainless steel metal
dipped in hot zinc. It is most appropriate for grating purpose, animal
cages, grilling and for protection of machines.
Wire panels:
available in the form of panels, it is used mainly for fencing purposes.
Though it is available in both galvanised and non-galvanised forms,
these meshed panels are widely used for fencing buildings and parks.
A variety of wire mesh of different
shapes and sizes can be obtained from the numerous welded mesh
manufacturers. One such reputable one is Siddal & Hilton, a leading European manufacturer of steel wire fence and welded mesh products based in UK. To have better comprehension on the various types of industrial welded mesh wire, lets check out the following product manufactured by Siddal & Hilton:
