Reinforced Mesh Sheets – 2.4 × 6.0 m Panel
or robust concrete reinforcement in slabs, footings, foundations, beams and walls. Each sheet measures 2.4 m × 6 m and is available in a range of REF variants: REF617, REF100, REF193, REF245, REF311, REF395, REF517. These REF variants correspond to different wire thicknesses and mesh spacing configurations that allow you to select the right
mesh for your structural requirements.
Key Features & Specifications
Reinforced Mesh Sheets – 2.4 × 6.0 m Panel
- Sheet Size: 2,400 mm × 6,000 mm – large format panels ready for concrete embedding.
- REF Variants: Choose from REF617, REF100, REF193, REF245, REF311, REF395, REF517 depending on wire thickness and required strength.
Example: list all these variants on their product page. - Aperture / Grid Spacing: Majority have 200 × 200 mm spacing. REF517 shows 100 × 200 mm.
- Material Quality: While don’t list explicit wire tensile strength on that page, NJR Steel describes reinforcing mesh built from hard-drawn / cold-rolled wire with a minimum tensile strength of ~ 510 MPa.
- Standards & SANS Compliance: Industry mesh is often manufactured to SANS 1024 and tested using.
Why Use Reinforced Mesh?
Reinforced Mesh Sheets – 2.4 × 6.0 m Panel
Concrete is very strong in compression, but weak in tension. Without reinforcement, concrete slabs and structures are prone to cracking and failure under tensile stresses (e.g. bending, shrinkage, temperature change). Reinforced mesh offers a pre-fabricated grid of steel wires, evenly distributing tensile load throughout the concrete and reducing crack propagation.
- Pre-welded mesh saves time vs cutting/teeing individual bars on site.
- Uniform grid improves crack control and helps maintain slab integrity.
- Allows for overlap: panels can be lapped / tied together before pour to create a continuous reinforcement network.
Applications & Use Cases.
Reinforced Mesh Sheets – 2.4 × 6.0 m Panel
- Concrete slabs: flooring slabs, driveways, patio slabs.
- Footings & foundations under walls or columns.
- Retaining walls, suspended slabs, beams, lintels.
- Structural & civil works: bridges, culverts, slabs on grade.
- Swimming pool shells – reinforcement under concrete shells.
Installation & Best Practice Advice.
Reinforced Mesh Sheets – 2.4 × 6.0 m Panel
- Overlap mesh sheets by a full mesh width in both directions and tie together to ensure load transfer. Do this *before* pouring concrete.
- Use plastic spacers / concrete chairs to lift mesh off the ground, ensuring correct cover depth so mesh is embedded in the concrete, not touching soil.
- Do not leave mesh directly on the ground – moisture and salts in soil can accelerate corrosion.
- Cut sheets carefully – if wire is exposed, apply protective coating or primer to prevent rust.
- Ensure proper alignment – mesh must stay flat and level. Bowed mesh can reduce concrete cover and local performance.
