What are the Properties of Wire Mesh?

Wire mesh is used to craft everyday workplace solutions. An interweaved series of metal-based wires creates a parallel gapped sheet that’s accommodating to movement from bulk products and versatile in manufacturing environments.

Wire Mesh Production

Two specific methods produce wire mesh:  

The first is weaving. Woven wire mesh producers employ industrial looms to incorporate patterns with the wire components. These patterns produce a sheet of wire that is then sized and rolled.

The second method is welding—the metal wire components bond through electrical molding processes at intersection points in this wire mesh type. Welded is the more durable of the two. 

Wire Mesh Uses

Because of its durability, wire mesh has thousands of applications for use. You might see the product used in the foundations of pools, concrete floors, and roads or prefabricated to suit construction needs – such as column and beam stirrups. 

Wire Mesh Workplace Solutions

Wire mesh panels are also commonly used in manufacturing and industrial settings in a filtration or separation role. Examples include:

• Wire Cages & Partitions
• Machine Guarding
• Storage Lockers
• Protective Railings
• Pallet Rack Safety Systems
• Bicycle Storage

Wire Mesh and Your Facility

There are many reasons why wire mesh is a top choice for manufacturing companies. It: 

• features a modular design that can accommodate virtually any layout,
• is strong and can hold partitions firmly in place,
• is secure because it utilizes heavy hardware in its assembly,
• is easy to install,
• and is flexible and can be easily configured as needs change.
