introduction:
reinforced mesh has the continuous lengths of joint reinforcement that are embedded into the horizontal mortar joints of masonry walls. Joint reinforcement has long proven to be necessary for superior performance of masonry wall construction.
Available at: hot dipped galvanized, electro galvanized or stainless steel
Steel Mesh: Steel mesh is similar to rebar in that it utilizes steel rods running transversely through concrete. It is not, however, as heavy-duty. The main purpose of steel mesh is to control concrete cracking, not eliminate it altogether. When in tension or flexure, the concrete will want to crack, and without the reinforcement, it will essentially just crumble away. The steel mesh is easier to install than rebar because it is available in large sheets. Rather than laying bars one by one, a larger area can be done in less time.
