Q1:What material is used, and what are the surface treatment options?
A:The wire is typically made from high-quality low-carbon steel (such as Q195). Common surface treatments include Electro Galvanized (smooth, shiny, suitable for indoor use), Hot-Dipped Galvanized (thicker zinc coating, excellent for outdoor corrosion resistance), and PVC Coated (available in various colors, providing extra protection and aesthetic appeal). Stainless steel is also available for high-corrosion environments.
Q2:What are the common specifications (wire gauge and mesh size)?
Mesh sizes commonly range from 1/4 inch to 4 inches (aperture from center to center of wires). Wire diameters (BWG/SWG) typically range from BWG 8 to BWG 23 (approximately 4.0mm to 0.6mm). The combination depends on your application: smaller mesh with thinner wire for poultry cages, larger mesh with thicker wire for fencing or construction.
Q3:How strong is the weld? Will the joints break easily?
A:Our welding mesh is manufactured using advanced electric resistance welding technology. Each intersection is firmly welded under high temperature and pressure, ensuring the mesh is strong, flat, and resistant to shear. The welds are typically stronger than the wire itself, preventing the joints from popping open under normal stress.
Q4:Can you cut it to specific sizes, or do you only sell standard sheets/rolls?
A: Yes, we offer customization. While we have standard sizes (e.g., 1m x 2m sheets or 20m rolls), we can cut and produce panels according to your exact length and width requirements. Please provide your specific dimensions and quantity for a custom quote.
Q5:How is it packaged for transport to prevent damage?
A:To save freight space and prevent deformation, large panels are often packaged in bundles or wooden crates. Rolls (for smaller gauge wire) are tightly compressed and rolled, then wrapped with waterproof materials like craft paper or PP woven bags, and secured with steel strips for sea freight.
