Wire mesh

Wire meshes are obtained through the interlacing of not continuous metal wires, previously worked and shaped. They are used in several different areas, similar to metal perforation, and depending on the area in which they are used we can have very different types and characteristics.
Usually the most popular meshes have square, rectangular or rhomboid shapes and are made of iron, galvanized iron or stainless steel.
However, we can find other types of construction materials such as aluminum, copper, brass. Usually these materials, especially brass, are used for particular networking , which will then become part of decorations in public places, hotels, restaurants and offices.
The other materials are used for the construction of wire mesh for agricultural, industrial or sports.
Galvanized iron, steel and titanium nets are of very good quality, since they can rely on a high resistance to atmospheric factors and forces. Often the quality is guaranteed by certifications in production and packaging processes. Whether they are produced in rolls or panels, in order to remain intact until their use, they should have adequate protection in the package.
With regard to the type, the wire meshes are available in these three ways:
- Woven, when the wire is bigger than 1mm
- Wavy, networks obtained with the braiding of individual strands forming each square mesh.
- Welded, networks that have the special characteristic of having constant lights inside the mesh, obtained thanks to the welding.
When ordering wire meshes, it is important that a client indicates the supplier the product specifications, namely:
- The diameter of the wire
- The type and quality of the material
- The length and height of the net
- The space between a node and the other network (distance) or, when very close, the light of the mesh (ie the vacuum inside the mesh) calculated to the nearest millimeter.
