Features

Welded mesh fabric used for the reinforcement of concrete, is manufactured to SANS 1024:2006 and to

other international standard specifications.

Welded mesh fabric mats are the most commonly used form of prefabricated reinforcement and is

particularly suitable for flat slab construction and concrete surface beds.

Other designed applications Include:

Welded mesh fabric mats can be detailed as either flat or bent sheets, depending on the job requirements

Retaining and shear walls

Beams and columns

Concrete paving overlays

Precast concrete elements

Suspended floor slabs

Swimming pool and gunite construction

Welded mesh fabric reinforcement considerably reduces construction time

SANS 1024:2006 designated fabric mats are standard welded reinforcement mats and can be scheduled

simply by reference to the fabric type, sheet dimensions and bending shape codes. (The reference is the

nominal mass of the fabric in kg/m2 x 100).

The cold-rolled deformed wire used in welded mesh fabric has a characteristic strength (0.2% proof

stress) a minimum of 485MPa compared to 450MPa for high tensile rebar. Fabric may be used at higher

stresses than high tensile rebar resulting in a material saving of up to 8%.
