Welded Wire Mesh

Welded Mesh - a safe

solution
Industry, construction and agriculture
From aerospace to reinforcement in construction,
our welded mesh is used in all kinds of industries.
Some applications are: guards, material handling,
separation, security and decoration.
We have a wide variety of standards available. If we do
not have the specification you need in stock (material,
opening, wire diameter and surface condition) we will
produce it according to your needs.

Production
Longitudinal and cross wires are resistance welded at
every intersection with a tight metallurgical bond. The
metallic wire mesh can be flexible or rigid, light and
open, or heavy and strong.
We have more than 60 years of experience in
welding wire mesh and we continue to improve our
process and products utilizing state of the art welding
equipment. Our innovative and motivated team
produces precise mesh and can fabricate accurate
products that will meet your requirements.
Materials
Materials and protective coatings
Stainless steel
AISI 304, AISI 304L, AISI 316, AISI 316L.

Low carbon steel

- Bright, basic finish. Material testing
- Copper coated/copper flashed wire prior to welding
Aids in the adhesion of nickel coatings once the
mesh is fabricated (i.e.: fry baskets).
- GBW-Electro-Galv
Electro galvanized wire prior to welding: corrosion
control, bright clean surface, no zinc in weld areas.
Suitable for interior and/or dry applications.
- GBW-Hot dipped
Hot dipped galvanized wire prior to welding: better
corrosion control, matte finish, no zinc in weld areas.
Suitable for dry and moist environments.
Flex - cable wires
- GAW-Hot dipped
Hot dipped galvanized after welding: superior
corrosion control, bright finish, weld areas are
encapsulated with zinc. Suitable for wet
environments.
- Epoxy coated
Superior corrosion control, painted finish (black/
green), weld areas are encapsulated with epoxy
paint. Suitable for wet environments.

Welded mesh for special requirements Flat - flat wires

New usages sometimes require mesh with unique
wire shapes.
Flex – cable wires – make mesh more flexible.
Flat – flat wires – create very high stability or smooth
surfaces.
Sandwich – this product combines woven filter mesh
with weld wire mesh to enhance strength and stability.

Sandwich
Welded mesh
- Our state of the art machinery is ideally suited to
weld stainless steel wire and annealed carbon steel
wires with very precise openings. The openings can
be square or oblong.

- As specialists for small opening welded mesh we

develop and manufacture solutions for our customers.

- Annealed pleatable material.

- Custom designs up to 72” wide.

Heavy duty welded mesh
We manufacture to order.

Heavy welded mesh is produced from straightened,

semi-hard or hard drawn wire into panels of mesh. The
edges of the panels can be random or flush cut.

Openings can be square or oblong. Most special

requirements in regards to the design or position of
openings can be produced.

Options
Surface treatment
For better corrosion resistance on stainless steel
welded mesh it is recommneded to passivate the
mesh.

Passivation (pickling) - dull surface

Electropolishing - shiny surface

Leveling and straightening Cutting pieces

Welded mesh can have internal tensions and a slight
waviness due to the introduction of high heat during
welding or galvanizing.

We have post welding processes to straighten and

reduce these distortions.

Fabrication
You do not have the ability or would you prefer to
purchase fabricated mesh parts?
No problem, we would love to fabricate them for you.
- Cut pieces. Laser cut pieces
- Laser cut parts.
- Deep drawn and folded parts.
- Welding and assembly (resistance welding, WIG/TIG
welding)

Custom frames
We custom design frames for welded mesh. This
allows for easy installation and handling.
