Welded Wire Mesh

What is Welded Wire Mesh?

Welded wire mesh (sometimes called welded wire fabric) is a metal mesh constructed with perpendicular wires that fuse together at their intersections using a resistance welding process. The resulting weld points secure the wires in a fixed grid that holds its shape. The lack of movement between wires helps to create a sturdy and durable material that exceeds expectations.

How to Specify Welded Wire Mesh

Collaborating with a welded wire mesh manufacturer empowers you with order customization. When precision is paramount, having access to a diverse range of options is crucial. When specifying your mesh requirements, it’s essential to consider several factors.

  • Wire Spacing – Welded wire mesh can feature square or rectangular grids, defined by either clear openings or center-to-center wire spacing (“Mesh”). The spacing can be uniform across the panel or varied to meet specific industry and application needs.
  • Wire Diameter – Most welded wire mesh specifications utilize round cross-section wire. It’s advisable to express diameters in decimals of an inch or in millimeters to prevent confusion.
  • Panel Sizes and Edge Conditions – Welded wire mesh panels can be tailored to custom sizes and shapes, based on preferred width and length dimensions. Additionally, options for trimmed or untrimmed edge conditions are available.

Secondary Finishes

Raw materials react to their local environment in varying ways. The addition of Secondary Finishes can help materials look and perform at their peak. Banker Wire utilizes trusted outside vendors for secondary finishing. We are happy to facilitate the process to deliver you a ready to install product.

There are several popular forms of secondary finishing available for our welded wire mesh. Hot Dip Galvanizing (galv-after) is an alternative to pre-galvanized wire. In this process, submerging the completed mesh panel into a tank of molten zinc creates a long lasting sacrificial layer across all surfaces. Powder Coating is the process of adhering fluidized powder to the wire mesh. This is a cost-effective way to add color to any project. Decorative Plating adds a thin layer of brass, nickel, chrome, or copper to the mesh, enhanced with bright or antique finishes. We recommend decorative plating for use only in interior applications.

How is Welded Wire Mesh Made?

Are you curious about how we make welded wire mesh? Take a look at our informational video to see the process in action.

To begin, the operator lays out line wires (also called long wires) on a pattern board. This sets the panel’s spacing width. Cross wires are then fed into a hopper. Programming is set to drop one at a time onto the line wires. Once in place, the cross wires are resistance welded at each intersection. This sets the panel spacing length. The panel then advances after each weld. This welding process repeats until each sheet finishes. The panel is then removed from the welder, and the next begins.
