Welded Mesh

Welded mesh is used in many Industrial and Architectural applications such as Infill Panels, Guarding and Window Covering. Accurate Screen and Grating custom fabricates welded mesh for many unique purposes. An example would be 7 foot diameter industrial fan guards we produce for the Oil and Gas Industry. These fan guards prevent debris from entering the fan and damaging blades while allowing access for maintenance. The rigidity of welded mesh makes it the perfect material for this type of application. 

Opening vs. Mesh

When the word 'mesh' is used to describe the measurement of woven or welded wire it indicates the space measured between centre-to-centre of wire.

When the word 'opening' is used to describe the measurement of woven or welded wire it indicates the space measured between inside-to-inside of wire.

Edge Requirements

Wire mesh fitting into a channel frame can have equal edges without extra work, or safety concerns.  More time to weld into an angle frame than flush edges.	Specific trim for application purposes. Requires less welds to attach to framework	Less likely to get shipping damages and easier to handle with flush edges. Requires less welds to attach it to framework.	Easiest (least expensive) to shear wire mesh with random tails. Less shears to get product size.
