Industries

Ferrier Wire is dedicated to supplying wire mesh products tailored for the construction and building industry. Wire mesh products are known for their durability, ensuring long-lasting performance even in demanding environments.  

Wire Mesh Application in Construction & Building

Reinforcement in Concrete

Wire mesh is embedded within concrete slabs to increase the structure's overall strength, such as a column, slab or concrete roadway. While there is no way to completely avoid cracks in concrete structures, wire mesh reinforcement helps distribute loads more evenly across the concrete and prevents localized failures.

The use of wire mesh in concrete construction not only improves durability but also ensures that the building can withstand harsh environmental and load conditions, extending the overall lifespan of the structure.

Façades & Architectural Features

Wire mesh is becoming increasingly popular in creating stunning façades and architectural features. Its versatility allows architects to design intricate patterns and textures, adding aesthetic interest to both exterior and interior spaces. 

This can be decorative cladding on building exteriors or interior partitions that provide both transparency and privacy. Wire mesh can also be used to create shading devices to enhance a building’s energy efficiency.

Ventilation

HVAC systems utilize wire mesh to improve airflow within buildings. It is used in ventilation grilles and screens to allow air passage while preventing debris and pests from entering the system. Wire mesh can also be incorporated into air ducts and exhaust systems to enhance ventilation and reduce the buildup of dust and contaminants over time. 

By improving air circulation, wire mesh helps create a healthier and more comfortable indoor environment for its occupants.

Flooring

Wire mesh is used in construction and build projects to reinforce concrete floors, provide underlayment support in multi-story buildings, create non-slip surfaces, and support radiant floor heating systems. It also provides temporary flooring solutions during construction.

Safety and Security

In the construction sector, wire mesh is essential for enhancing safety and security. It is often used in fencing to secure perimeters of construction sites, ensuring the safety of workers and preventing unauthorized personnel from wandering into the building site. 

Safety Barriers

Wire mesh is used to create barriers on scaffolding and around elevated work areas to prevent falls and protect workers.

Scaffolding Enclosures

To enhance worker safety and prevent debris from falling, wire mesh is often used to enclose scaffolding on construction sites.

Construction Site Fencing

Wire mesh is commonly used to create temporary fencing around construction sites, protecting equipment and materials from theft and vandalism.

Structural Reinforcement

Concrete can be embedded with wire mesh to improve tensile strength and crack resistance. It is also utilized for masonry reinforcement, as layers of mesh strengthen brick and block walls.

The Advantage of Using Wire Mesh in Construction

Durability

Construction wire mesh is known for its exceptional durability. It is robust, even in harsh conditions, including extreme temperatures, humidity, and chemical exposure. The high tensile strength of wire mesh in construction allows it to withstand significant stress without deforming, ensuring the structural integrity of buildings over time.

Versatility

Wire mesh is commonly used in construction because of its versatility. It can be used for a wide range of applications, from providing structural support to being a key component in architectural features. 

Cost-Effectiveness

Use of wire mesh in construction offers great cost benefits compared to other materials. Its production and installation costs are relatively low, making it an economical choice for large-scale projects. Wire mesh is also incredibly durable and low maintenance, which effectively lowers long-term expenses associated with repairs and replacements.
