welded wire mesh widely used in construction

1. Common Uses in Construction

• Concrete Reinforcement

  • Used in slabs, walls, foundations, and precast concrete to prevent cracking and improve structural integrity.

  • Replaces traditional rebar in some applications for faster installation.

• Pavement & Road Construction

  • Reinforces asphalt and concrete roads to extend lifespan and reduce cracking.

• Masonry & Brickwork

  • Acts as bed joint reinforcement in brick walls to enhance stability and resist lateral forces.

• Partitions & Fencing

  • Used for temporary fencing, safety barriers, and gabions (stone-filled mesh cages for erosion control).

• Flooring & Stair Treads

  • Provides anti-slip surfaces in industrial floors, mezzanines, and staircases.

• 2. Key Advantages

  ✔ High Strength & Durability – Resists corrosion (especially if galvanized or PVC-coated).
  ✔ Cost-Effective – Faster installation than hand-tied rebar, reducing labor costs.
  ✔ Uniform Grid Structure – Ensures even load distribution in concrete.
  ✔ Flexibility – Can be cut and bent to fit various shapes and designs.
