TYPES OF WIRE MESH

Review some of our popular offerings below:

WELDED WIRE MESH

Our welded wire mesh panel offerings are resistance-welded for incredible strength. Intersecting wire patterns create a consistent appearance for indoor and outdoor applications. Argus Steel makes it possible to integrate welded wire mesh configurations made of stainless steel, galvanized steel, and carbon steel.

STAINLESS STEEL WOVEN WIRE MESH

Wire mesh is woven in a variety of different ways. Common methods include plain weave construction, which is a one over, one under weave, intermediate crimp (commonly known as inter crimp) in which both the warp & shute wires are pre-crimped prior weaving, and lock crimp, in which the wires are crimped at the intersections. Other weave styles such as twilled weave and dutch weave are available depending upon mesh capabilities.

STAINLESS STEEL WIRE CLOTH SCREEN

Consider stainless steel mesh screens for harsh filtration tasks and architectural accents. We see our clients use this technology when handling paints, hot liquids, and fuels since stainless steel materials resist rust. You can also reuse these mesh screens to get the most out of your investments. Argus Steel distributes industrial wire screens that work as sunscreens, railing infill panels, speaker grilles, and more.

STEEL HARDWARE CLOTH

Stainless steel hardware cloth is ideal for outdoor use to protect gardens & vents from rodents, reptiles, or other nuisance wildlife. Whether it’s keeping chickens enclosed, or keeping birds from nesting in ventilation, there’s a hardware cloth option available to suit your requirements.

MACHINE GUARDS

Protector your people & equipment at your facility using steel and galvanized steel materials. Wire mesh products help you create square-shaped enclosures for machines, systems, and equipment requiring permission to operate. Argus Steel solutions are lightweight and economical for any size budget.

HEX NETTING WIRE MESH

Place an order for hex netting wire mesh products available in different widths and lengths. Argus Steel selections can be used to support building insulation materials. Industrial teams may also create barriers between windows using these wire mesh screens with hexagonal openings. Their steel strands are twisted together to form the opening dimensions of your choice.

SECURITY FENCING

Update your industrial facility to secure tools, products, and machines. Our security fencing solutions keep intruders out, as the small openings in metal mesh screens make it impossible to climb over barriers and prevent hand tools from fitting through, providing exceptional peace of mind. Argus Steel security fencing products are ideal for positioning in a vertical or horizontal fashion around the perimeter of your plant.
