Understanding Concrete Reinforcing Mesh
What is Reinforcing Mesh?
Reinforcing mesh, also known as wire mesh or welded wire fabric, is a crucial component in concrete construction that helps prevent cracking and adds structural strength to concrete slabs.
Importance of Proper Lapping
Proper lapping of reinforcing mesh is essential for maintaining structural integrity. The standard overlap should be at least 6 inches, though larger overlaps may be necessary for specific applications.
Applications
Reinforcing mesh is commonly used in: driveways, patios, sidewalks, floor slabs, and other concrete applications where additional structural support is needed.
