Wire mesh can be designed into different types such as woven and welded. These wire meshes can be used in farms, gardens, sports fields and the construction industry. Our company provides different types of welded wire mesh and woven wire mesh to meet the specific needs of customers. The following is the detailed information of different types of wire mesh sorted for you

What are the different types of wire mesh?

1. Galvanized wire mesh after welding (GAW)

This type of welded mesh is first welded into a mesh with a wire welder, and then galvanized. The welded mesh produced by this process has a zinc layer covering the entire mesh surface, including the welding area. Therefore, the anti-corrosion effect of the welded mesh will be better. But the price of the metal mesh galvanized after welding is relatively higher. Therefore, when buying a welded mesh, you must choose to buy it according to your actual situation and focus.

2. Galvanized wire mesh before welding (GBW)

Galvanizing first and then welding means first using an electrogalvanizing device to coat a layer of zinc on the surface of the wire mesh, and then welding the galvanized wire in the warp and weft directions. This process can produce welded mesh with thick wire diameters. But this process has a disadvantage, that is, the welded joints of the welded mesh are prone to rust, which affects the service life of the welded mesh. But overall, GBW welded mesh is economical and ideal for many applications.

3. Galvanized and then woven mesh

This metal mesh is woven. Since there is no welding, the zinc layer on the surface of the mesh will not be burned. This means that the metal mesh will not rust easily. This metal mesh is lighter and has a longer service life. The most common use of these metal meshes is to protect the boundaries of facilities or wildlife.

4. Weaving first and then galvanizing

As the name suggests, this metal mesh is first woven into a mesh by weaving the wire and then galvanizing it. The galvanized layer produced by this process is uniform and very flexible. However, the metal mesh made by this process is slightly more expensive than other processes.

5. PVC coated mesh

PVC coated wire mesh is made by applying a PVC coating to a welded or woven metal mesh. The PVC coating seals the metal mesh and protects it from rust and corrosion. This type of wire mesh is available in a variety of colors, such as green, black, blue, white, etc. You can often see it in gardens, playgrounds and other places.

In addition, according to the shape of the mesh, the wire mesh can also be divided into square mesh, rectangular mesh, diamond mesh, hexagonal mesh, etc., and wire mesh products of different shapes can be customized for you. Each shape of wire mesh has its own unique charm, and you can choose according to the actual use.

Choose the wire mesh that suits you

Not every type of metal mesh is suitable for every project. Some projects have very specific requirements, such as weight, surface finish, strength, etc. Therefore, when making a choice, it is important not to be blind. You need to carefully consider what material, coating and wire diameter of metal mesh products your project needs. Then choose the right type. Finally, after determining the type, you can buy it from a reliable manufacturer.
