It is used throughout domestic, commercial and agricultural construction: ground-floor and structural slabs, strip and raft foundations, driveways and hardstandings, garage and shed bases, floor screeds, retaining walls and concrete paths. Welded at every intersection, the \u003cstrong\u003econcrete mesh\u003c\/strong\u003e forms a rigid grid that bonds tightly with the concrete pour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChoosing the right concrete reinforcement mesh\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatch the mesh to the load. Light paths and shed bases typically use A142; driveways and domestic slabs use A252; structural and heavily loaded slabs use A393.
