Product description

Reinforcement Mesh

Steel reinforcement mesh is a highly versatile product widely used throughout the construction industry. At Direct Steel, we offer premium steel mesh fabric that’s ideal for a wide range of applications. Crafted to the highest standards, our mesh is robust, durable, and dependable.

What is Reinforcement Mesh?

Reinforcement mesh is essentially a grid of thin steel rods arranged in a lattice pattern, laid perpendicular to each other. It’s embedded in concrete to enhance the tensile strength of the final structure. Common mesh types include A142, A193, A252, and A393, along with B785, B1131, B503, B385, and B283.

Benefits of Steel Fabric Reinforcement

The primary benefit of using steel mesh in concrete construction is its ability to significantly boost the tensile strength of the structure. While concrete is incredibly strong under compression, it’s less effective under tension. Without reinforcement, a concrete beam is at risk of cracking under even moderate loads. Steel reinforcement mesh is particularly valuable in enhancing the structural integrity of concrete. It is relatively lightweight and effectively distributes the load across its network of metal rods. Additionally, reinforcement mesh expands and contracts at a similar rate to concrete when exposed to temperature changes, making it a reliable and safe reinforcement option.

A Range of Reinforcement Mesh Options

Different construction projects demand different specifications of reinforcement mesh. We offer a wide selection of thicknesses ranging from 6mm to 12mm, with various crossbar configurations. This ensures that we have the right mesh for every concrete construction need.

High-Quality Reinforcement Mesh

All of our steel reinforcing mesh is manufactured in compliance with BS4449 (2005) standards, established by the British Standards Institution. These regulations cover steel for concrete reinforcement, guaranteeing you a safe and reliable product.
