Wire cloth is made by weaving metal alloy threads, with different weaves and gap sizes determined by the intended use. It can be used in homes for things like fly screens and kitchen utensils, and in industry for protection and manufacturing processes.

A wire cloth is a product that results from the weaving of various threads of a defined metal alloy, which can be brass, aluminum, bronze or stainless steel. The weaves or designs that are applied during the weaving of the alloy are different and can be determined both by the purpose for which the wire cloth is designated by the customer’s specifications or by the customer in the case of third party manufacturing, where companies specialized in making the wire cloth will be contracted on behalf of the customer. Generally, the pattern of textures have spaces between them that can be shaped into various geometric patterns, ranging from diamond-shaped patterns to square or rectangular shaped patterns. The size of the gap between the wires is also different and can be very narrow or large, which is also determined by the purpose of the wire cloth.

In the home, wire cloth can be used for a variety of uses, from protecting the home to making kitchen utensils. An example of a product manufactured using wire mesh is a fly screen, which may be placed over a door opening or window opening to act as a barrier to insect entry into the home. Such screen doors can be mounted on rails and placed in grooves in front of patios, or wire mesh can be attached to swing doors that swing outward to allow for easy access. One of the qualities of such mesh materials used in making door and window coverings is the fact that they are usually tightly woven to keep out insects. Wire cloth can also be used in making sieves and dividers for storing materials in the kitchen.

In the industrial environment, this material is also used for various uses, ranging from protection to incorporation into the manufacturing process. For example, the fabric could be woven with a larger diameter thread and a larger spacing to be used as a sort of barrier to prevent access to certain machinery. The fabric could also be used to augment certain production materials, depending on the particular product under investigation. For example, it can be used in the manufacture of discs which are used as seats for some machine parts.
