Stainless Steel Hardware Cloth Manufacturer & Supplier

Stainless steel hardware cloth is a type of wire mesh commonly used in construction, gardening, and various industrial applications. It’s made from stainless steel wires woven or welded together to form a sturdy grid pattern. The term “hardware cloth” typically refers to wire mesh that’s been galvanized for corrosion resistance, but when it’s made from stainless steel, it offers even greater durability and resistance to rust and corrosion.

Stainless steel hardware cloth comes in various mesh sizes, typically ranging from fine to coarse, depending on the intended use. It’s often used for fencing, screening, animal enclosures, and as a barrier to keep pests out of gardens or other areas. Its strength and corrosion resistance make it particularly suitable for outdoor and harsh environments where exposure to moisture and other elements might degrade other materials over time.

Types of Stainless Steel Hardware Cloth

There are several types of stainless steel hardware cloth available, each suited for different applications based on their weave pattern, wire diameter, and mesh size. Here are some common types:

Woven Mesh Hardware Cloth: This type of hardware cloth typically involves plain weave wire mesh or crimped wire mesh. Plain weave is straightforward, with each wire passing alternately over and under the adjacent wires in both directions. Crimped weave adds a bit of texture and strength by having the wires crimped at intervals.
Welded Stainless Steel Hardware Cloth: Instead of being woven, welded hardware cloth is made by welding stainless steel wires together at their intersections. This creates a strong and rigid mesh, suitable for applications where durability and rigidity are important.
Square Mesh Hardware Cloth: This type has evenly spaced square openings, making it suitable for general-purpose fencing, screening, and animal enclosures.
Hexagonal Mesh Hardware Cloth: Also known as chicken wire, this type has hexagonal-shaped openings and is commonly used for poultry fencing, garden protection, and as a barrier for small animals.
Expanded Metal Hardware Cloth: Expanded metal is created by simultaneously slitting and stretching a metal sheet to form diamond-shaped openings. Stainless steel expanded metal hardware cloth provides strength, rigidity, and good ventilation. It’s often used in applications where airflow, visibility, and security are important, such as fencing, window guards, and machine guards.
