The Many Uses for Diamond Mesh

Diamond mesh gets its name from the shape of the mesh weave rather than from the materials used to create the metal. Diamond mesh can be made from a variety of metals, such as aluminum, stainless steel, and steel alloys, but is commonly made from stainless steel because of the durability and resistance to corrosion. The diamond pattern is created by linking several metal wires together to create a diamond-shaped pattern. This mesh pattern provides a high level of strength at a low cost. In many cases, diamond-shaped mesh is one of the least expensive forms of mesh. In the industrial and construction world, diamond-shaped mesh has a variety of uses including:
Fencing: Perhaps the most common use for diamond-shaped mesh is in fencing. The typical chain-link fence is usually formed with the diamond pattern, as well as fences with smaller spacing between each piece of wire. Chain-link fences are commonly used to protect unsafe or areas with toxic materials from unauthorized users. Mesh fences can also be used inside factories to guard dangerous equipment and protect employees.
Metal lath: The metal lath in construction is an important part of any plaster or mortar coating. The diamond shape is ideally suited as a metal lath because the shape of the mesh pattern helps support the plaster or mortar on the wall or ceiling. Often diamond-shaped mesh is used to support the scratch coat of plaster, mortar, cement, and brick coatings.
Fireproofing: Another industrial use for diamond-shaped mesh is protection from fires. The mesh metal acts as a barrier between flammable materials and the structural supports of commercial or residential buildings and can reduce the risk that fire will spread or damage the structural integrity of a building. Usually, a tighter, thinner weave is used for this purpose in many commercial and industrial buildings.

Diamond Mesh Fencing and Other Types and Styles

Whether you are a homeowner or farmer, there is one thing we all have in common, the need for a fence or wall to protect our properties. When the option of a wall or palisade fence is out of the question, you need to consider the versatile, economical and popular option of diamond mesh fencing. Essentially, wire fencing fulfils huge roles in both rural and urban life. Its purposes are agricultural and industrial, being both aesthetic and necessary.

When it comes to deciding on a wire fence, there are different types available, each having various benefits.   

Woven Wire Fencing

Woven wire mesh is a series of metal wires interlocked according to a certain pattern to create a mesh sheet with a specific opening size, weave pattern and wire diameter. It is easy to customise during the weaving process due to its flexibility.

Following a basic diamond pattern, plain wire fencing has an over-and-under interlacing warp and fill wire weave. Lock crimp diamond wire mesh follows the same weave design but with a twist. The over wire forms a lock by squeezing around the underwire at each intersection, ensuring the fencing becomes more solid and sturdy as a result. The intercrimp diamond wire mesh builds on the locking system with an added bump in between the intersections. The intercrimps not only make the fence sturdy, but it is more visually appealing.

A diamond wire fence is perfect for farming to close off large pastures, construct chicken coups and as a cost-effective perimeter fence in residential areas. When it comes to affordability, versatility, aesthetics and quick installation, diamond wire with its choice of weave patterns, makes the perfect fence.

Welded Wire Fencing

Welded wire mesh is formed by placing wires in horizontal and vertical configurations that form squares or rectangles which are welded together at each contact point. The distance between the angular patterns can be between 2.5 and 10 cm, depending on the amount of visibility required. There is no flexibility in the wire openings, making it more solid than its woven counterpart. Welded wire mesh can be PVC powder-coated, galvanised or stainless steel. Welded wire is widely used as perimeter fencing in the construction industry and as a separation fence. For added security, barbed or razor wire fencing can be installed on top of a woven and welded wire fence.
