What we do
Wire mesh is deceptively complex: mesh count, aperture, wire gauge, open area, weave and material all interact, and the same product is described a dozen different ways across the industry. WireMeshQA exists to make that decision clear. We publish neutral, technically accurate reference content and free tools that let engineers, contractors, importers and procurement teams specify mesh correctly the first time.
Our editorial principles
- Independent. Our guides are not sales pages. We describe trade-offs honestly, including when a cheaper or different mesh is the better choice.
- Specification-first. Every recommendation ties back to a measurable spec — aperture in mm, wire gauge, mesh count, open area or micron rating — not vague marketing language.
- Standards-based. Where a recognised standard or convention applies (SWG, BS, ASTM mesh designations, micron ratings) we cite the convention, not a single vendor.
- No invented proof. We do not publish fabricated certifications, reviews or project claims. Tools show their formulas so you can verify the maths yourself.
Free tools
Our mesh specification converter turns mesh count and wire diameter into aperture (inch / mm / micron), open area and pitch. The weight calculator estimates mesh weight per square metre and per roll across common materials. Both show the underlying formula. Browse all wire mesh tools.
How we can help you source mesh
Once you know what you need, we can help you get it. Tell us your specification — mesh type, aperture or count, wire gauge, material, finish, sheet or roll size and quantity — and we will help you confirm the spec and connect you with factory-direct supply. There is no charge for using our guides or tools. See contact to start an enquiry.
WireMeshQA is a reference and sourcing-support resource. Always confirm final specifications, tolerances and material certificates with your chosen supplier before ordering.
