Welded grid with PVC coating is a popular product

Today, probably, it is difficult to name such areas of construction, in which different kinds of grids would not be applied. But very few people know that their varieties are very many: from welded and woven or woven filtered to welded reinforced, copper and even nickel. And this is not the whole list. This article will describe in detail about the type of product with an additional special PVC coating, which is called a welded wire mesh with PVC-coating in the nomenclature. This material is fabricated in the form of a grid of smooth or relief wires, whose diameter is 0.6-5 mm. In the production can also be used fittings with a diameter of 6 to 12 mm, the laying of which is perpendicular and carefully welded. Welded grid with PVC-coated can be made in cards, then the cell size is obtained from 5 to 200 mm. This type of metalmetallic products is used quite widely. It was used in the implementation of fixing brickwork, building walls, reinforcing paving and reinforced concrete road structures. Welded grid with PVC-coating is an ordinary welded mesh, with the only difference being that when it is manufactured it is immersed in molten polyvinylchloride. When it becomes necessary to purchase this product, you should pay special attention to the diameter of the wire. According to statistics, consumers pay little attention to the fact that the diameter guaranteed by the manufacturer is often indicated taking into account the coating itself, as a result of which various misunderstandings can arise in the future.

The layer of polyvinyl chloride, depending on the technology, can have a thickness of 0.1-0.3 mm. When we are dealing with a popular grid with parameters 50x50x2.2, then if the thickness of the coating is taken into account, the diameter of the wire itself can be only 1.9 mm, which can significantly affect the strength of the entire structure.

Welded mesh with PVC-coated, according to statistics, most manufacturers produced a diameter of 0.2-0.4 mm. Some in the documentation indicate a double diameter - core and outer diameter. In this case, an incorrect interpretation of the true thickness of the wire can have even more dramatic consequences. Usually such hardware products have PVC green. It is useful to know that domestic and most foreign manufacturers pack these products with PVC-coated polyethylene, and, for example, Chinese ones - in heavy paper. Welded grid with PVC-coated is supplied in rolls, as a result of which it is convenient to transport. Anticorrosion properties are provided by the polymer layer, which, among other things, gives (in comparison with the conventional model) a more aesthetic appearance. Therefore, this product is often used in suburban construction.

Galvanized wire mesh with PVC-coating exists in two types: sectional and roll.

To all of the above, you can add that the material is not subject to harmful environmental influences and will not rust over time.
