0.99mm Hole Galvanised Metal Mesh Sheet - 0.5mm Wire - 17 LPI - The Mesh Company

Galvanised Steel Metal Mesh Sheet

0.99mm hole heavy duty galvanised metal mesh made from 0.5mm wire. This mesh is strong and course. Ideal for use as a rodent screen for rats and mice.

Crafted from durable galvanized metal, this wire mesh stands out not only for its robustness but also for its meticulous specifications. With a mesh count of 17 holes per linear inch, it translates to an impressive 289 holes per square inch, ensuring a uniform and consistent structure throughout. Each wire is 0.5mm thick, but it’s important to note that the intersection where two wires meet exhibits increased thickness, adding to its overall sturdiness.

Mesh Specification

Below are the specifications of this galvanised steel wire mesh roll:

• Mesh Count = 17 holes per linear inch. The amount of holes measured against a straight line inch
• Holes / Wires Per Square Inch = 289 holes per square inch. The amount of holes per linear inch squared
• Wire Thickness = 0.5mm. The thickness of each wire. The structure is thicker than this where two wires meet
• Hole Size / Aperture = 0.99mm. This is the square hole size from wire to wire
• Open Area % = 44%. The amount of the mesh that is open. The higher this number the more open a mesh is. This is a standard open area %
• Cut With – We cut this mesh with scissors or tin snips. We suggest that you do the same

FAQs For This Galvanised Steel Mesh

Can This Mesh Be Used For Rodent Control?

Yes, this galvanised steel woven wire mesh can be used for rodent control. Its coarseness and toughness make it an effective barrier against rodents, preventing them from penetrating or chewing through. The precise design, coupled with the durability of galvanised metal, ensures a sturdy solution for keeping rodents at bay.

Is 44% Open Area Percentage Standard For All Wire Meshes?

No, the 44% open area percentage is not standard for all wire meshes. The open area percentage is determined by the mesh count, wire thickness, and aperture size. Different wire mesh products, depending on their intended use and design specifications, can have varying open area percentages. It’s always important to check the specific product details to understand its open area percentage and determine if it’s suitable for a particular application.

What Benefits Does Galvanisation Offer To The Steel Mesh?

Galvanisation offers several key benefits to the steel mesh:

1. Corrosion Resistance: One of the primary advantages of galvanisation is that it provides a protective layer, preventing the steel from rusting. This ensures longevity, especially in moist or corrosive environments.
2. Increased Durability: The galvanised coating enhances the mesh’s resistance to wear, tear, and abrasions, thereby extending its lifespan. It is often chosen as one down from stainless steel.
3. Enhanced Strength: The process of galvanisation can enhance the overall tensile strength of the mesh, making it tougher and more resilient to external forces.
4. Cost-Efficiency: Galvanised steel meshes typically require less maintenance and replacement than non-galvanised variants, leading to long-term cost savings.
5. Protection Under Scratches: Even if the mesh gets scratched or slightly damaged, the zinc in the galvanised layer will still provide cathodic protection, ensuring that the exposed steel doesn’t rust.
6. Environmentally Friendly: Galvanising steel is a sustainable practice. The longevity it provides to the steel reduces the need for frequent replacements, thereby conserving resources and reducing waste.
7. Aesthetic Appeal: Galvanised meshes have a bright, shiny appearance which can be aesthetically pleasing in certain applications.
