When you’re looking for a durable and versatile coarse wire mesh, 0.99mm hole galvanised wire mesh is a reliable option that fits a wide range of applications. This is quite a unique mesh because there is an odd number of holes per inch.
At The Mesh Company, we specialise in offering high-quality wire mesh products designed to meet diverse customer needs. This particular product combines strength and flexibility, making it ideal for functional and decorative uses.
But is it the right mesh for your project? In this article, we’ll explore its features, uses, and comparisons to similar materials to help you make the best choice.
This product is crafted from 0.5mm galvanised steel wire, woven to form a pattern of 0.99mm square apertures at a density of 17 lines per inch (LPI). The galvanisation process applies a zinc coating to the steel wire, offering enhanced resistance to rust and corrosion.
Unlike sheets, this wire mesh is supplied in roll form, making it easier to transport and handle for various projects. Its relatively thick wire and small apertures result in a robust mesh that balances durability with flexibility.
The combination of 0.5mm wire thickness and 0.99mm apertures creates a mesh that can handle significant stress and wear. It is less prone to deformation than lighter alternatives, ensuring long-lasting performance for demanding applications.
The galvanised coating protects the steel wire from rust, making this mesh suitable for outdoor and moisture-prone environments. While it’s not as corrosion-resistant as stainless steel, it offers a cost-effective solution for many projects.
Compared to stainless steel wire mesh, galvanised wire mesh is slightly more malleable, allowing for easier shaping and customisation without compromising its structural integrity. This makes it a great choice for projects that require precision or creative applications.
As a more affordable alternative to stainless steel, galvanised wire mesh delivers excellent value while maintaining reliable performance for a variety of uses.
Filtration: Ideal for coarse filtration in agricultural or industrial settings where durability is key.
Protective Covers: Use it to shield vents, fans, or machinery while maintaining airflow and visibility.
Pest Control: Effective at blocking small pests like rodents and insects while allowing air and light to pass through.
Crafts and DIY Projects: Perfect for creating decorative items, screens, or structural supports due to its malleability.
Garden Use: A popular choice for reinforcing fences, building trellises, or protecting plants from animals.
Industrial Applications: Frequently used for sieving, sorting, or reinforcing materials in manufacturing processes.
Durability: Stainless steel offers greater rust resistance and is better for long-term outdoor use.
Flexibility: Galvanised wire mesh is easier to shape and cut, making it more suitable for custom projects.
Cost: Galvanised mesh is more budget-friendly, particularly for short-term or less demanding applications.
Weight: Aluminium is much lighter, which is advantageous for portable or lightweight structures.
Strength: Galvanised wire mesh is stronger and better for heavy-duty applications.
Corrosion Resistance: Aluminium naturally resists rust, but galvanised mesh provides similar protection at a lower cost.
Durability: The PVC coating adds an extra layer of protection, extending the lifespan of the mesh.
Flexibility: PVC-coated meshes are more pliable, which can be advantageous for certain applications.
Appearance: PVC-coated options are more decorative, while galvanised mesh has a utilitarian finish.
Rust Resistance: The zinc coating ensures durability in damp environments.
Strength: Thick wire and small apertures make this mesh reliable and robust.
Cost-Effective: A durable and affordable alternative to stainless steel wire mesh.
Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of industrial, agricultural, and DIY applications.
Ease of Use: Slightly more malleable than stainless steel, making it easier to handle and install.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Durable and Strong: Handles stress and heavy use. | Less Corrosion-Resistant: Not ideal for extremely wet or saline environments. |
| Affordable: Great value for most projects. | Plain Appearance: Lacks decorative appeal. |
| Malleable: Easier to shape and cut than stainless steel. | Weight: Heavier than aluminium mesh. |
| Rust-Resistant: Suitable for outdoor use in most conditions. | Limited Lifespan Outdoors: May need replacement over time in harsh environments. |
| Versatile Applications: Works for many uses. | Zinc Coating Can Wear: Prolonged exposure to harsh elements may degrade galvanisation. |
If the 0.99mm hole galvanised wire mesh isn’t quite right for your needs, consider these alternatives:
2.5mm Hole Galvanised Steel Mesh: The same type of mesh and the same metal, but double the hole size.
1mm Hole Stainless Steel Mesh: Offers higher corrosion resistance for demanding outdoor projects.
If you’re looking for a strong, versatile, and cost-effective wire mesh, the 0.99mm hole galvanised wire mesh is an excellent choice. Its combination of durability, malleability, and rust resistance makes it suitable for a variety of uses, from pest control to crafts.
