The A252 Reinforcing Mesh 3.6m × 2.0m is a medium-duty welded steel reinforcement sheet designed for concrete slabs and groundworks requiring increased strength and load distribution. Manufactured from high tensile steel wires welded into a 200 × 200mm square grid, this mesh provides consistent reinforcement coverage across the slab, helping to reduce cracking and improve overall structural performance.
Produced using 8mm diameter wires, A252 mesh is commonly specified for heavier domestic and light commercial applications such as reinforced floor slabs, driveways, hardstandings, and foundations. The generous 3.6m × 2.0m sheet size improves installation efficiency by reducing the number of laps while maintaining uniform strength throughout the concrete pour.
