MESH REINFORCEMENT
Mesh reinforcement is a type of reinforcement used in construction to improve the strength and durability of concrete structures. It is made of a grid or mesh of steel bars or wires arranged in a rectangular or square pattern. The bars are welded or connected at their intersections, creating a rigid and strong network that can withstand tension, compression, and shear forces.
Mesh reinforcement is used to reinforce concrete slabs, walls, foundations, and other structures. It is typically placed in the middle of the concrete layer, where it helps distribute the loads and stresses across the surface of the structure. Mesh reinforcement also helps prevent cracking and improve the overall durability of the concrete.
We supply the following range of fabric reinforcement meshes.
