Coated wire mesh: what is it?

Coated wire mesh is created by applying a protective material to wire mesh, extending its lifespan and protecting it from the elements. It is used for various purposes, and the size of the gaps and wire diameter vary. Coated wire mesh is practical for industrial and home use, protecting against rust and jagged edges.

A wire mesh is a type of product that is created by weaving strands of wire in interlocking patterns to create a kind of mesh design. To create coated wire mesh, the manufacturer will apply some type of material, usually plastic, to the wire mesh as a sort of protective coating. Coated wire mesh is used for a variety of purposes, ranging from industrial uses to specific uses around the home. The size of the gaps between the individual wire strands and the diameter of the various strands vary and are generally determined by how the coated wire mesh will be applied. Another consideration is the material that is used to make the wire under the trim, something that can be made using materials like iron, brass, or aluminum.

One of the reasons that coated wire mesh may be preferable over uncoated wire mesh is that applying the coating to the wire preserves the life of the wire mesh beyond what would have been possible without the coating. The reason for this is that the coating protects the metal components from the adverse effects of the elements, especially when the wire mesh is used outdoors or near water or steam. For example, a crab or lobster cage made with coated wire will last much longer than one made with uncoated wire since the coating will protect the wire from rusting much longer than would have been possible without it. The same can be seen when coated wire mesh is used in the construction of a fence, as the coating on the wire will protect it from rust and general decay for longer.

Another reason for preferring a coated wire mesh over an uncoated one is practicality, as is the case with coat hangers. Some hangers are designed using wire mesh, and applying a protective coating will serve as a protective measure for the fabric from rusting and as a consumer protection measure from any jagged edges protruding from the wire. The same conclusion can be drawn from the application of coated wire mesh in industrial use.
