Steel Reinforcing Mesh

Steel Reinforcing Mesh is a grid of welded steel bars used to reinforce concrete structures, enhancing tensile strength. Commonly employed in slabs, walls, and pavements, it minimizes cracking and ensures uniform load distribution. Classifications include square and rectangular meshes, categorized by wire diameter and spacing, with grades such as 500E complying with standards like AS/NZS 4671 for durability and structural performance.

Steel Reinforcing Mesh, also known as Wire Mesh Reinforcement or welded steel bar panels, is a prefabricated grid of ribbed steel bars welded together to provide structural reinforcement in concrete elements. Our steel reinforcing mesh is suitable for use in a variety of applications, including concrete footpaths, industrial and commercial ground slabs, precast panel construction, and residential slabs and footings.

Standard classifications include the SL and RL range of products, typically sized at 6.0m x 2.4m, while trench mesh products are 6.0m long with widths ranging from 200mm to 400mm. The ribbed profile of the steel wire enhances bonding with concrete, reducing the risk of cracking caused by shrinkage compared to smooth wire.

Our team ensures precise scheduling, delivery, and installation of reinforcing mesh tailored to project-specific engineering drawings and specifications, streamlining construction efficiency and compliance.

Standard Panel Dimensions

Steel reinforcing mesh panels commonly measure 6.0m x 2.4m (SL/RL series). Custom sizes may vary, but standardized dimensions ensure compatibility with typical construction layouts.

Wire Diameter & Spacing

Wire diameters range from 5mm to 12mm, with spacing between bars typically 100mm, 150mm, or 200mm. Closer spacing enhances load distribution in high-stress applications.

Mesh Classifications (SL/RL)

Classified into SL (square mesh) and RL (rectangular mesh). SL features equal spacing (e.g., 200x200mm), while RL offers varied configurations (e.g., 100x200mm) for tailored reinforcement.

Material Specifications

Ribbed low-carbon steel wire with 500 MPa minimum yield strength (AS/NZS 4671 compliance). Ribbing improves concrete adhesion, reducing shrinkage cracks.

Trench Mesh Dimensions

Trench-specific mesh comes in 6.0m lengths with widths from 200mm to 400mm. Designed for footings, drainage, and narrow structural supports.

Application-Specific Ranges

Suitable for residential slabs (6m x 2.4m panels), industrial floors (thicker wires), footpaths (lightweight mesh), and precast concrete (custom-cut sizes).
