Product Information
Full details
The B&Q A393 Reinforcement Mesh Sheet is an essential structural component designed for construction professionals and contractors working on heavy-duty concrete projects, such as industrial flooring, walls, and road construction. It offers superior load distribution and structural integrity to minimize cracking in high-stress environments, though its substantial weight and 10mm high-tensile steel construction require careful handling and proper equipment during installation.

FAQs
Does this mesh meet building regulations?
Yes, the A393 mesh is manufactured in accordance with BS 4483 standards for steel fabric reinforcement.
Can I use this for a domestic driveway?
While it is designed for heavy-duty industrial use, it is certainly strong enough to reinforce a domestic concrete driveway subject to heavy vehicular traffic.
How much should I overlap the sheets?
Generally, you should overlap by at least one full mesh aperture (200mm), but always consult your site engineer's structural drawings for specific project requirements.
Will the mesh rust if left outside before use?
Light surface rust is common and does not affect the structural performance of the steel once it is encased in concrete.
How do I secure the sheets together?
Use standard tie wire to bind the intersection points at every overlap.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty cutting through the 10mm bars
Use an angle grinder with a reinforced cutting disc rather than manual bolt cutters for cleaner, faster cuts.
Mesh moving during concrete pour
Ensure the sheets are securely tied together at every overlap and utilize adequate steel spacers (chairs) to maintain elevation.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-tensile steel provides exceptional structural reinforcement
- Reduces the risk of cracks in large-scale concrete structures
- Standardized design compliant with BS 4483 industry regulations
- Efficient size for streamlined installation in large areas
Cons
- Requires heavy-duty cutting tools due to 10mm steel thickness
- Material is heavy and often requires mechanical assistance for positioning
- Limited flexibility compared to lighter-gauge reinforcement meshes
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure structural integrity, the mesh should be stored flat and kept in a dry area to prevent surface oxidation, although minor rust is generally acceptable in concrete reinforcement. Installation requires basic construction site tools: heavy-duty bolt cutters or an angle grinder for resizing, and tie wire or clips to secure the sheets together at overlaps. Compatibility is high with all standard structural concrete mixes. Always ensure the reinforcement is free from oil, grease, or loose scale prior to pouring concrete, as these can impede the bond between the steel and the concrete matrix.
