Concrete reinforcing mesh is made from metal rods ranging from 3 mm to 40 mm in diameter, bonded perpendicularly by spot welding for strong connections. This versatile mesh is used in various construction projects, including concrete footpaths, industrial and commercial slabs, precast panels, and residential foundations. It typically features ribbed steel rods to improve concrete bonding and minimize cracking. Smooth steel mesh is also available for specific project needs.
