WHAT IS REINFORCING MESH?

08 Feb.,2024

 

Uses for Reinforcing Mesh The main reason to use reinforcing mesh is exactly what it sounds like: to reinforce the structural integrity of concrete to improve tensile strength and prevent cracks. Concrete mesh can minimise the presence of cracks; however, it won’t prevent them entirely. It should keep them from appearing in the middle of your concreting work and will hold cracks closed should they appear around the edges of your work, as can be expected. Types of Concrete Mesh From square to rectangular, welded, brick wall and ladder mesh, there are plenty of varieties and shapes of Square Mesh This is a general purpose reinforcing mesh used for flat concrete slabs and walls. It is the most common shape and comes in many sizes, either standard dimensions or made to order. Trench Mesh This concrete mesh is specifically for residential footing trenches which make up the foundations or border concreting for homes. It can also be used for footpaths, rock walls, brick walls and any other narrow structures. Rectangular Mesh This mesh is typically chosen when strength is required in one direction; for example, floors or walls that are long or tall. When the dimensions require extra support one way over the other, this is the ideal mesh for the job. Ribbed Mesh The bars used in this kind of mesh have been ribbed to improve bonding with concrete and provide superior crack prevention. A ribbed profile can be applied to any style and shape of mesh, from square to trench, and it is the most common method of steel bar manufacturing currently used.
