Description
Galvanised Wire Mesh
0.92mm hole heavy duty galvanised steel mesh made from 0.355mm wire.
The galvanised steel woven wire mesh is a straightforward and efficient solution for a multitude of applications. Made from steel, this mesh benefits from a galvanisation process, enhancing its resistance to rust and corrosion due to a protective zinc layer. The woven construction, where steel wires interlock at right angles, ensures consistent durability and a uniform mesh pattern.
Examining its specifications, this mesh boasts a mesh count of 20 holes per linear inch, translating to 400 holes per square inch. This fine weave ensures precise filtration and boundary demarcation in its applications. The wire’s thickness, standing at 0.355mm, points to a robust and sturdy mesh. It’s important to note that where two wires meet, the structure is slightly thicker than the specified wire thickness. This thickness provides strength, ensuring the mesh holds its shape and form in various conditions. The square hole size or aperture of the mesh measures at 0.92mm, which is ideal for both filtration and visibility purposes.
Mesh Specification
Below are the specifications of this galvanised steel wire mesh roll:
- Mesh Count = 20 holes per linear inch. The amount of holes measured against a straight line inch
- Holes / Wires Per Square Inch = 400 holes per square inch. The amount of holes per linear inch squared
- Wire Thickness = 0.355mm. The thickness of each wire. The structure is thicker than this where two wires meet
- Hole Size / Aperture = 0.92mm. This is the square hole size from wire to wire
- Open Area % = 52%. The amount of the mesh that is open. The higher this number the more open a mesh is. This is a very high open area%
- Cut With – We cut this mesh with tin snips. We suggest that you do the same

FAQs For This Galvanised Steel Mesh
How Resistant Is Galvanised Wire Mesh To Corrosion?
Due to its protective zinc coating, galvanised wire mesh offers superior corrosion resistance. As well as providing physical protection against corrosive elements, this coating also provides cathodic protection, meaning that even if scratched, the zinc corrodes first, shielding the steel beneath. Its effectiveness is pronounced in moderate settings such as indoors or rural areas; however, in environments with high salinity or industrial pollution, the coating’s lifespan may diminish. Another factor determining its durability is the thickness of the zinc layer; a thicker layer usually means a longer service life. It is still possible to extend the life of the mesh with regular inspections and maintenance.
What Is The Significance Of The 52% Open Area?
The 52% open area of the galvanised wire mesh indicates the proportion of the mesh that is open or unobstructed. This specification is crucial for several reasons:
- Ventilation and Airflow: A higher open area means that the mesh allows for better ventilation and increased airflow. This can be significant in applications where circulation is essential, such as in HVAC systems or vent covers.
- Filtration: The open area percentage can determine the particle size that the mesh can filter. A mesh with a 52% open area, given its hole size, can effectively filter specific particle sizes while allowing fluid or air to pass through with less resistance.
- Visibility and Light Penetration: A higher open area means more light can pass through the mesh, which is essential in applications where visibility or light penetration is a concern, such as in window or door screens.
- Weight and Material Cost: A mesh with a higher open area typically uses less material and is, therefore, lighter in weight and can be less costly in terms of material usage.
- Flexibility: A higher open area often means the mesh can be more flexible, which might be beneficial depending on its intended application.
- Aesthetic Appeal: For some applications, the visual appearance of the mesh and the pattern created by the open spaces can be a design element in itself.
Does The Galvanised Coating Wear Off Over Time?
Yes, the galvanised coating on wire mesh can wear off over time, especially when exposed to harsh environmental conditions or physical abrasion. Zinc is applied to steel as a protective layer, acting as a sacrificial barrier to prevent rust. The zinc layer gradually degrades, protecting the steel beneath. When this layer wears away or chips away, the steel underneath becomes vulnerable to oxidation and rust. It’s advisable to avoid placing galvanized wire mesh in highly abrasive environments or in constant contact with moisture if you want to extend its lifespan. Periodic inspections and maintenance, such as applying a protective sealant or paint, can help preserve the mesh’s coating and overall integrity if it is used in such conditions.
