WHAT IS STEEL REINFORCEMENT MESH?

Steel reinforcement mesh – also known as reinforcement fabric or fabric mesh – is used to reinforce building structures by increasing the tensile strength of the building. The mesh is embedded within the laid concrete and helps to reduce cracking and water damage, as well as preventing general structural  weakening.

Reinforcement mesh can be used for a range of purposes within the construction industry, from building foundations to roads. It is a good alternative to traditional steel reinforcement bars, being easier to shape and more portable, although it is not as strong.

THE QUALITY OF OUR STEEL REINFORCEMENT MESH

All our steel reinforcement mesh is CARES approved, complying in full with BS EN ISO 9001 regulations. Our steelwork is manufactured to British Standards BS 8666 and BS 4466 for the highest possible standards of material and production quality.

All our welding, drilling and steelwork fabrication is compliant with CE Marking standards.
