This eliminates the potential for zinc to concentrate at the welds where it is least needed. Contrary to popular misconception, welded wire is not prone to corrode preferentially at the welds. In fact, resistance welding of galvanized wire creates a zinc rich iron alloy around the perimeter of the weld interface.

The Mesh, Welded, not Twisted Our computer controlled precision welding techniques ensure consistent quality.
Welded mesh offers a number advantages over conventional twisted mesh.
Unlike twisted mesh, welded mesh does not move and flex inside its coating. Welded wire can be field cut without compromising structural integrity. Welded mesh does not unravel. Baskets hold their shape for assembly and filling making installation a much simpler and faster procedure. Welding allows the use of our special spiral binder for connection.
