B1131 is a robust and reliable structural mesh with a rectangular pattern. It features 12mm main steels that provide strength and stability for various construction projects. This mesh is ideal for reinforcing concrete slabs, walls, foundations and other structures that require high load-bearing capacity and durability. B1131 is easy to install and conforms to the relevant British standards for quality and safety.
The structural integrity and longevity of your construction project depend on choosing the right grade and type of reinforcement mesh, so you need to be familiar with the properties of all the different types of mesh, and to follow the guidance of your structural engineer or architect.
A structural mesh is a mesh that provides the main reinforcement in one direction only. This is different from square meshes, where the reinforcement is distributed equally in both directions, and from long meshes, where the transverse wires only hold the longitudinal wires together and do not provide any reinforcement.
B1131 reinforcement mesh is one of the heavier duty structural meshes, with longitudinal wires that have a diameter of 12mm, and transverse wires that have a diameter of 8mm. The longitudinal nominal pitch is 100mm and the transverse nominal pitch is 200mm. The mass of this mesh is 10.9kg per m2, so a standard (non-eco) sized sheet (4.8m x 2.4m) weighs 122.95kg, and a merchant sized sheet weighs 94.18kg.
B1131 reinforcement mesh complies with BS4449:2005, and all the mesh that we supply meets those standards, to ensure guaranteed quality and consistency of production.
You should use B1131 reinforcement mesh for applications that require significant structural reinforcement, such as commercial or civil engineering construction projects, or large-scale domestic builds with a bigger than average footprint or significant structural challenges.
You should always follow the recommendations of your structural engineer or architect when sourcing reinforcement meshes and other products, as they will base their choices on careful structural calculations and knowledge of the standards and regulations that apply to your specific build.
We only sell what we stock. So we’re able to dispatch immediately. We have trucks running up and down the country almost every day, meaning that there’s a good chance we can fit your order in with low lead times. Once you send a quote request, we’ll call you back and discuss delivery times with you.
Of course. We supply tradesmen on small local jobs, and contractors working on large-scale projects alike.
Simply fill out a quote request and we’ll call you immediately. If it’s during normal office hours (7:30am to 4:00pm) we’ll likely call within minutes.
Our premises are located in the Midlands (Swadlincote, to be exact). Which is a perfect position for our UK-wide delivery service.
You can give us a call on 01283 205 930, or email us at [email protected]
We certainly can. We provide loose cut & bent, straight rebar, prefabricated cages, beams, columns, and walls, to any spec. required.
