Wire mesh

Product

A wire mesh is an arrangement of interlocking strands of metal with evenly spaced, similar to a web or a net in that it has many attached or woven strands. It is used like input or raw material for a wide variety of industries and for structural reinforcing in construction.

Is possible difference two principal types of meshes depending of the manufacturing method:

1 Welded

Links between wires are welded by electric fusion. This type of mesh present a structure that is solid and inflexible, is ideal for definitive barrier or reinforcement of structures. They present usually rectangular or squared spaces.

2 Woven

In this type of mesh the wires are weaving, for this reason woven mesh present less strength, but improve his elasticity and shock resistance. Also, woven mesh could be manufacture in a wide variety of forms, for example: hexagonal, squared, triangular, etc.

Surface treatments

In Gestión de Compras we offer different surface treatments attempting to accommodate the needs of each customer.

  • Galvanized. It’s the most used treatment for mild steel mesh, offer a good protection against rust and corrosion. Usually woven mesh are galvanized before weaving. But for welded mesh is possible differentiate two types:
    • GBW (Galvanized before welding). This type of mesh are cheaper than GAW but it could present corrosion problems on intersection areas.
    • GAW (Galvanized after welding). Galvanize including the welded areas. These products are heavily protected from rust and corrosion and have an extended lifetime that the same products with GBW finish.
  • Vinyl coating (VC). Are coated with either polyester or PVC after the welding or weaving process, sealing completely against rust and corrosion.
  • Powder coating. This surface treatment offers a wide variety of colours, inclusive custom colours.
  • Metal plating. Bronze, Monel, chromium coatings, etc. are often used for decorative effects.
