Wire mesh is a material made from strands of metal wire that are woven or welded together to form a grid-like pattern. It is commonly used in construction, fencing, and various industrial applications due to its strength and durability. The size of the openings in the mesh can vary, making it suitable for different purposes, such as security, ventilation, or filtration. This versatile material can be made from various metals, including steel, aluminum, and stainless steel. Depending on the type of wire used, wire mesh can be coated to resist corrosion, enhancing its longevity. It is often found in products like safety screens, animal enclosures, and reinforcement for concrete.
