Wire mesh is used in many different industries, including as architecture, building, fence, and filtration. Typical varieties include expanded metal mesh for flooring and safety barriers, woven wire mesh for filtration and sieves, welded wire mesh for strength in fences and reinforcement, and perforated mesh for screens, filters, and ornamental objects.

Applications of wire mesh in agriculture include fencing, animal cages, and screens for crops and grain.

• Construction: Architectural screens, flooring support, and concrete reinforcement.

• Filtration: separating particles, liquids, and gases in food, pharmaceutical, and water treatment processes.

• Security: include security barriers for both home and commercial use, safety guards, and anti-theft screens.

• Industrial: Machine guards, sieves, and conveyor belts in factories.

Types of wire mesh by structure

• Welded: A sturdy, robust mesh that is perfect for heavy-duty applications like security fences, cages, and concrete reinforcement is produced by fusing intersecting wires.

• Woven: A grid design of interwoven wires is frequently utilized for lightweight guards, sieves, and fine filtration.

• Expanded: Diamond-shaped apertures are created by cutting and stretching a sheet of metal. used for protective covers, floors, and steps. Sheets with properly punched holes are called perforated sheets. Adaptable for lighting fixtures, garbage cans, and filters.

• Knitted: A structure made of interconnecting loops that resembles a chain and is frequently used for filtration and specific purposes.

• Hexagonal: Often referred to as chicken wire, this mesh has hexagonal apertures and is used for gardening and fence.
