The Benefits of Using Galvanized Woven Wire Mesh

Galvanized woven mesh is a type of wire mesh made by weaving galvanized steel wire together to create a strong, durable, and versatile material. The process of galvanizing involves coating the steel wire with a layer of zinc, which acts as a protective barrier against corrosion. This layer of zinc significantly enhances the wire’s resistance to rust and other environmental factors, making galvanized woven mesh ideal for use in a variety of demanding applications, including underground mining, construction, and industrial settings.

The galvanizing process not only protects the wire from corrosion but also extends the life of the mesh, ensuring it remains reliable and functional even in harsh conditions. Galvanized woven mesh is known for its high tensile strength, making it capable of withstanding heavy loads and extreme environments. Additionally, the wire’s woven design provides flexibility, allowing it to be easily shaped or fitted to specific requirements.

One of the key benefits of galvanized woven mesh is its versatility. It can be used in various applications such as fencing, reinforcement in concrete, and as a protective barrier in mining and construction projects. The mesh helps stabilize the surrounding ground, providing additional support and safety in excavations or construction zones. Its durability and corrosion resistance make it an excellent choice for both temporary and permanent solutions.

Galvanized is not a metal or alloy; it is a process in which a protective zinc coating is applied to steel to prevent rusting. In the wire mesh industry, however, it is often treated as a separate category because of its wide spread use in all types of applications. Some of the more popular uses and applications of galvanized wire mesh are listed below:

Galvanizing can occur either before or after wire mesh is manufactured – both in woven form or welded form. Galvanized before woven wire mesh or galvanized before welded wire mesh indicates the individual wires, themselves, used to manufacture the mesh have been galvanized before the mesh is woven or welded. Depending on the mesh (or opening size) and diameter wire, this is usually the less expensive option, especially if custom manufacturing is required.

Galvanized after woven and galvanized after welded wire mesh is exactly as it sounds. The material is manufactured, normally in carbon or plain steel, and is often placed in a galvanizing tank, thereby producing a galvanized after woven or welded specification. Generally speaking, this option is more expensive, depending on availability and other variables, but does offer a higher level of corrosion resistance. This added level of corrosion resistance is most noticeable at the joint or intersection of galvanized after welded wire mesh specification.

One of the main benefits of a galvanized wire mesh, and particularly of a galvanized welded specification, is that it tends to offer a wide variety of opening sizes and diameter wires. For instance, mesh opening sizes, such as 4” x 4”, 2” x 2”, 1” x 1” and ½” x ½”, tend to be readily available from stock in a handful of popularly requested diameter wires.

Due to its attractive price point and its corrosion resistance, galvanized wire mesh is very popular among industrial users of wire mesh. Usually, galvanized wire mesh is specified in applications where relatively large opening sizes are needed. Keep in mind that galvanizing a relatively fine mesh, after it is woven, is likely to clog the openings rendering it unusable in numerous applications. It is for this reason that, usually, a 10 x 10 mesh and finer will be manufactured as a galvanized before woven item.

Darby also stocks and distributes a wide array of vinyl coated welded wire mesh specification. Please contact us for more information.
