Seismic SE

The new Seismic Grade meshes have been developed in response to the Department of Building and Housing requirements in the wake of the Canterbury Earthquake investigations.

The range has been designed to exactly match the specifications listed in Table 6B in the joint Standard AS/NZS 4671:2001 and utilises the Grade 500E steel with mechanical properties as shown in Table 2 of that Standard.

This allows Designers, Specifiers and Building Contractors to accurately and reliably select the correct reinforcements directly from the Standard without concern for variations, equivalents or alternatives.

The Seismic Grade meshes feature smooth surfaces to allow maximum benefit from the potential elongation and extremely robust welded intersections for superior anchorage.

Hard Drawn Wire Meshes

Hard Drawn Wire Meshes are traditional New Zealand meshes
They range from 668 to 661 where 8 = 4.0mm dia wire and 1 = 7.5mm dia wire
Sheet sizes are 1990mm x 4650mm and wire pitch is 150mm

Standard sheets are ideal for smaller jobs which suit the smaller sheet size.
Jobs such as garage pads, patios, driveways, kerb crossings or truck stands all favour the convenience of the standard sheet.

Standard sheets are easily man-handled on to site and easily manoeuvred into position once inside the boxing. Their smaller dimensions mean less cutting of sheets around difficult features or unusual shapes leading to less wastage and less work.

Standard sheets can be readily transported by trailer giving entry to sites that have restricted access to larger vehicles or simply allowing a cheap and convenient way to move material to site.

Hurricane HRC Standard Sheets feature rib rolled reinforcing wire to significantly increase grip in the concrete and improve crack control.

Builders Mesh

Builders meshes have been specifically designed for builders and concrete contractors use in house pads. They are available in 147 and 84 square mm specifications to directly meet the requirements of current building codes.

Builder’s meshes provide the contractor with the cost efficiency of the larger construction meshes along with the convenience of step through wire spacing.

They are designed with double selvedge wires to protect the handler from the danger of protruding lap wires and aid in the handling and manoeuvring of the sheet.

Their 10 square metre net area means quick and accurate estimates of sheet numbers for any size of job.

Rib rolled surfaces on the hard drawn wires provide superior grip in concrete ensuring maximum crack control of finished slabs.

Construction Mesh

Construction Meshes are designed to provide the builder or concrete contractor the most efficient form of reinforcing fabric that can be manufactured given the constraints of the manufacturing machinery and general transportation.

Meshes are available in a complete range of seven specifications from 84 sq mm (668 equivalent) to 295sq mm (661 equivalent).

Large sheet sizes with net areas of, up to 17.3 square metres require fewer laps and provide more efficient coverage.

Asymmetric laps allow for quick and accurate laying with an instant visual check that the lap meets NZS3101 requirements.

Laps formed with deformed wire splices have no transverse wires in the lap zone and hence have no build up in the lap, even in a four sheet corner.

150mm pitch provides optimum reinforcement for topping slabs where larger pitches may not be desirable in the thinner concrete depths.

Hard drawn rib rolled wire provides maximum grip and optimum crack control

StepThru Mesh - Hard Drawn Wire - Made To Order Only

StepThru meshes are designed to provide the builder or concrete contractor all of the efficiencies of a Construction Mesh with the added benefit of large 300mm wire spacing.

Wide pitches allow placers to step thru the mesh when sheet is being raised onto spacers or bar chairs.

Wider wire spacings means fewer splices requiring less tying with the associated benefit of time saved.

Available in the most common specifications of 84 sq mm (668), 147 sq mm (665) and 212 sq mm (663) and in standard construction or extra large construction sheet sizes.

Engineering Mesh

Engineering meshes are most commonly used for fabrication rather than concrete reinforcement and are available 4.0mm, 5.3mm and 6.3mm diameter plain round wire.
Sheet sizes are 1990mm x 4650mm and wire pitch is 75mm known as 33meshes.

33 meshes are widely used for screens and guards but can be found in a huge range of fabricated applications.

Modern welding techniques and equipment ensure that Hurricane 33 meshes are noted for their trueness and consistency of pitch, a significant benefit for engineers and fabricators.

The large wire sizes and relatively large pitch make these meshes very popular for racking system shelves where significant loads are combined with fire safety considerations.

Weld strength ensures that these meshes can be readily bent by brake-press or mesh bender without breaking wires or welds.

Smooth wire surfaces readily accept high grade finishes from paints, hot dip galvanising or electro-zinc treatments.
