Superior quality product

DYWIDAG recoMesh is made from bright drawn, 100% mild steel mesh. Adhering strictly to BS 4482 standards, the mesh feat ures robust 4mm main wires spaced at 150mm, and 3mm cross wires at 75mm intervals, welded at every junction to ensure unmatched durability and compliance with BS EN ISO 9001.2015. With a light yet sturdy construction of 1.6kgs/m², it‘s designed for easy handling and efficiency on-site.

To further enhance its performance, the steel mesh is encapsulated with two layers of heat-shrunk polyethylene.

Each layer is 100-micron, 40% Polyethylene film, heat-shrunk to perfe ction on both sides, adding a mere 0.2 kg/m² to its weight.

This protective film is not only non-toxic, safeguarding groundwater from contamination, but also robust against any concrete pressure.

Extensively tested by independent experts, it guarantees that your construction elements are protected, ensuring longevity and structural integrity.

Streamlined installation

Streamlined installation with pre-bent DYWIDAG recoMesh units

  • Each pre-bent DYWIDAG recoMesh unit is precisely marked to align with detailed schedules, ensuring a straightforward and efficient assembly process on site.
  • Assembly is as simple as joining the individual components with tying wire, making the process both quick and efficient.
  • If adjustments are needed, modifications can be easily made on-site: the film can be cut with a pocket knife, and the steel mesh can be trimmed using bolt cutters. Thus removing the need for skilled labour.
  • Despite its durability, DYWIDAG recoMesh is designed to be lightweight, facilitating manual installation without the need for heavy machinery. This balance of sturdiness and lightness underscores the product‘s user-friendly nature.

Optimised for stability and protection

To ensure maximum performance and durability, we recommend using plastic clip- on grade plate spacers with DYWIDAG recoMesh.
These spacers, with their large base, are designed to rest securely on two wires of the mesh, preventing any compromise to the protective film or loss of cover to reinforcement. Thus insuring the integrity of the structure.
