Whether you require fabric reinforcement in square mesh or rectangular mesh form, or a selection to suit the various demands of your project, Heaton Manufacturing is here to supply everything you need.
Fabric reinforcement is a mesh made from steel bars put through a semi-automatic precision welding machine. Coiled steel wire is fed into the machine at one end, the machine aligns the wire, welds it, and then cuts it to size.
The steel wires are set at regular 100mm to 400mm centres to produce a mesh of steel bars which can range from 6 to 12mm in diameter.
Fabric reinforcement (more commonly referred to as mesh reinforcement) is the most common form of reinforcement used in concrete-reinforced slabs, walls, walls, and other structures such as roads and bridges.

Standard and Bespoke Rebar Mesh from a Leading UK Manufacturer.

Square fabric mesh is very versatile and used in car parks, loading bays, warehouses, and residential flooring slabs. It is a lightweight reinforcing solution that is very cost-effective when compared with the time it would take to make the same thing from single bars.
Delivered in easy-to-handle standard sizes, with a choice of steel bar grades, from 6mm to 10mm, it is ready for deployment as soon as it arrives on site.
Rectangular mesh is specified when there is a particular stress that the reinforced concrete will have to deal with once the structure is complete. It is seen most often in engineered project locations such as ground beams, bridges, and other complex and demanding situations.
Rectangular mesh, when graded above 8mm, will have one wire strand thicker than the other, up to 12mm.
The standard supplied size for fabric mesh is 4.8m x 2.4m, but it can also be supplied in Merchant Size, which is smaller at 3.6m x 2m.
Fabric mesh sheets can also be supplied in the popular Safety Size, 2.4m x 1.2m, or any other bespoke measurements that are required on your project.
Most of the time, from initial order to kerbside delivery takes 2-3 days. Larger orders, or more specialist requirements could require a longer lead time.
The numbers that denote the mesh type refer to the cross-sectional area per square metre, which tells you the proportion of steel there is in every metre of mesh width. The higher the number, the higher the amount of steel the reis present.
As the numbers rise, so does the thickness, or grade of steel, from 6mm rebar up to 10mm.
Fabric reinforcement mesh must conform to BS4483:2005 and be properly quality-assured.
Additionally, Heaton Manufacturing Ltd. is certified to ISO 9001:2015
A flying end is where a bar will be left off to enable overlapping with an adjacent or follow-on sheet. It avoids any build-up of steel where it is not required, maintaining the engineered plane, and designed ratio of steel to concrete.
