BRC A65 Reinforcing Mesh, 6mm Wire, 2.4m x 4.8m Sheet

BRC A65 Mesh

The BRC A65 Reinforcing Mesh provides essential structural integrity for light-duty concrete applications through a high-tensile welded wire fabric design. This reinforcement material uses 6mm ribbed steel wires spaced at 200mm intervals to control thermal expansion and contraction. It is specifically engineered to prevent surface cracking and improve the load-bearing capacity of non-structural and light-structural slabs.

Built for the Job

Contractors and site supervisors rely on this welded steel fabric for residential and light commercial groundworks. The ribbed profile of the longitudinal and cross wires ensures a superior mechanical bond with the concrete matrix. This bond is critical for distributing tensile stresses that concrete cannot handle alone. Site crews find these sheets manageable for manual handling while providing enough rigidity to maintain their shape during the pour. The large sheet format allows for rapid coverage of expansive floor areas, significantly reducing labor time compared to manual rebar tying.

• Reinforcement for domestic driveways and garden paths to prevent subsidence cracks.

• Internal floor slabs for residential buildings and light-duty storage sheds.

• Crack control in concrete topping layers and thin-section screed applications.

Product Highlights

High-Tensile Construction

The steel wires undergo a cold-rolling process to achieve a minimum yield strength of 500 MPa.

Precision Welded Joints

• Resistance welding at every intersection ensures consistent grid dimensions.
• Rigid joints prevent the mesh from deforming under the weight of wet concrete.

Technical Specifications

What’s Included

• 1 x BRC A65 Reinforcing Mesh Sheet (2.4m x 4.8m)

On-Site & Workshop Notes

• Ensure the steel is free from loose rust, oil, or grease before pouring to maintain bond strength.

• Support the sheets using concrete spacers or plastic chairs at 1-meter intervals to prevent sagging.

• Maintain a minimum lap of 400mm (two full mesh squares) when joining adjacent sheets to ensure structural continuity.

• Cut to size using heavy-duty bolt cutters or an angle grinder with a metal cutting disc.

• Always wear protective gloves and eye protection when handling cut edges of the reinforcement.
