Pilot Steel carries a broad range of standard welded wire reinforcement products ("SWWR") in both rolls and sheets. When properly placed in concrete slabs on grade, SWWR helps reinforce the concrete after cracking and is a critical element in its performance. The wide variety of wire sizes (W1.4 to W/D4) and spacings that are available make it possible to furnish accurate cross-sectional areas of steel required to reinforce residential and light commercial slabs.

We carry SWWR in several standard widths and lengths, which allows us to ship your orders quickly. Requests for epoxy-coated and hot-dipped galvanized SWWR can also be accommodated.

Our SWWR products conform to ASTM A1064.

 

Applications of welded wire mesh reinforcement

• Reinforcement of concrete structures in building.
• Reinforcement of road surfaces or parking areas.
• Reinforcement of bridge deck.
• Making frames.
• Manufacture of various fences.

Paper-backed wire mesh is used in the construction and forming of in-ground swimming pools. Applied after framing, the waterproof barrier helps stabilize the excavated pool area and provides a secure backing for the concrete and limits concrete waste.
