What is it used for?

An enormous range of specifications can be achieved by varying the wire diameter, metal type and aperture size. Specifications range from the finest sheer gauze fabric to heavy duty rigid screens and this versatility means that wire cloth can be used for a vast range of applications.

As well as many uses within the domestic environment, Locker woven wire is commonly used for a myriad of industrial filtration, sieving, shielding, sifting, screening, sorting and separation processes.  We offer a range of wire cloth products designed to cater for common industrial processes, and regularly work with customers to develop custom solutions to meet their unique requirements.

Woven metal is an extremely flexible and malleable material. It can be shaped to suit precise requirements and edged to fit to any structure. It is durable and performs well under high temperatures and pressures. It is widely used within the oil and gas industry plus pharmaceuticals, recycling, automotive and electronics to name but a few.

Locker woven metal cloth can be supplied in a number of different ways:

  • On the roll
  • 'As cut' from the roll
  • Pre-cut to size in pieces, discs or strips
  • Formed into shapes, welded, edged or finished to specification by our specialist team
