wire mesh or rebar in slab

When it comes to reinforcing concrete slabs, two materials stand out: wire mesh and rebar. Each has its own benefits and drawbacks, so it’s important to decide which best fits the purpose of your project.

A grid of steel wires are interconnected in a process known as welding to craft wire mesh. It is a simple material to work with and can be shaped to fit any slab size. Moreover, compared to rebar, this mesh displays a greater level of rust-resistance.

Steel bars bent and joined together form the basis of Rebar, offering a more robust solution than wire mesh. Rebar’s higher tensile strength and additional resistance to buckling make it the more optimal choice for increased durability.

When making a choice between rebar and wire mesh, your project will be the deciding factor. If strength and resilience are important factors for your slab, then rebar should be the go-to option. Alternatively, wire mesh may be better suited if the slab is a smaller one or ease of use is paramount.
