Concrete has extremely high compression strength but is very weak in tension. To compensate for this weakness welded wire reinforcing mesh is embedded in concrete to add tensile strength and reinforce concrete.
Even small slabs which may not require reinforcement may benefit by the use of welded wire reinforcing mesh to add strength and control cracking
Welded wire, also know as remesh or reinforcement mesh is used to increases the tensile strength of concrete slab
Welded wire reinforcing mesh is made from steel wire welded together in a square grid pattern
Mesh rolls are an economical way to provide concrete reinforcement for a larger slab project
