Product Description

Steel reinforcement mesh is a popular construction product that improves the overall strength of concrete slabs. We manufacture A252 mesh with 8mm rebar. Each main wire and cross wire are set at a pitch of 200mm. 

Typically, this type of rebar is reserved for heavy-duty concreting. It is not unusual to see A252 mesh in the construction of hotels, offices, and apartments. The mesh element ensures that concrete stabs stay still, reducing the likelihood of the structure moving or leaning.

For this product to be effective, it should be installed in slabs with depths between 150mm and 200mm. 

Looking for rebar mesh that can handle a greater depth? A393 Reinforcement Mesh Fabric is designed for depths over 200mm.

There are really no structural design considerations to steel reinforcing in a slab on grade. It's only function is to restrain cracks after they occur and both rebar and welded wire fabric (mesh) do this equally as well as long as it's positioned properly. Because rebar is more rigid than mesh, it's easier to support but it takes longer to lay it down.

If you use rebar, I'd suggest #3's at 12-18" centers supported every 3'. For #4's, you could go 18-24" oc supported every 4'. Don't mess around with anything bigger. One downside to rebar is it's only readily available in 20' lengths, which wastes a lot in splices.

If you go with mesh, buy sheets rather than rolls so to will lay flat. 6x6 2.9x2.9 wire is fairly rigid and can span 3' or so between supports.

I'd figure the cost of the various material combinations and go with whatever is cheaper. Check out my Guide to Floor Slabs in the link below for some additional thoughts and good luck with your slab.
