A142 Reinforcing Mesh 4.8m x 2.4m: Essential Concrete Reinforcement

Ensure the strength and longevity of your concrete structures with our A142 Reinforcing Mesh, supplied in a convenient and widely used sheet size of 4.8m x 2.4m. This welded steel mesh fabric is a fundamental component in construction, designed to enhance the tensile strength of concrete, preventing cracking and improving overall structural integrity.

The A142 designation signifies that this mesh features 6mm diameter wires spaced at 200mm x 200mm centres, making it an ideal choice for a variety of light to medium-duty concreting applications. Manufactured to meet British Standards (typically BS4483), it provides reliable and consistent performance for both professional builders and DIY enthusiasts. Cartmore also stocks A142 reinforcing mesh in a smaller, easier-to-handle sheet size of 3.6m x 2.7m, as well as a wider range of heavier reinforcing mesh in traditional 4.8m x 2.4m sheet size.

Key Features:

• Standard A142 Specification: Features 6mm main and cross wires with 200mm x 200mm apertures for optimal concrete reinforcement.
• Large Sheet Size (4.8m x 2.4m): Provides extensive coverage, reducing the number of cuts and overlaps required for larger projects, saving time and effort.
• Enhanced Concrete Strength: Significantly improves the tensile strength of concrete, minimising cracking and ensuring long-term durability for slabs and foundations.
• Versatile Application: Commonly used for:
  • Concrete floor slabs (typically 100-150mm thick)
  • Driveways
  • Pathways and walkways
  • Garage and shed bases
  • Foundations for extensions and garden rooms
• Durable Steel Construction: Made from high-quality steel, built to withstand the demands of construction and provide lasting support within concrete.
• Meets British Standards: Manufactured to relevant British Standards (e.g., BS4483) for quality assurance.
