Wire Mesh RFQ Resource Hub

Use this overview to prepare wire mesh RFQs before choosing the detailed page for openings, welded or woven mesh, expanded metal or perforated sheet.

## Confirm before quoting

- Product type and application environment
- Opening, wire diameter, strand or hole pattern
- Roll, panel, sheet or cut-to-size format
- Material, coating, quantity and export packing
 
 

 

 

 







## Start here, then open the matching detail page.

Wire mesh inquiries often use the same words for different products. This page keeps the RFQ path clear: first define the product family, then confirm opening or hole data, then send drawings, quantity, finish and packing needs.

## RFQ specification matrix



 

| RFQ field | What to send | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Product family | Welded wire mesh, woven wire mesh, expanded metal mesh or perforated metal sheet. | Each family uses different opening language, tooling, edge treatment and packing method. |
| Opening / hole data | Opening size, pitch, mesh count, SWD/LWD, hole diameter, slot size or drawing. | Small wording differences can change open area, weight, strength and quotation basis. |
| Wire / sheet size | Wire diameter, strand width, strand thickness, sheet thickness or gauge. | Controls rigidity, rollability, panel flatness, load behavior and material cost. |
| Format and edge | Roll width and length, panel size, sheet size, cut-to-size pieces, framed or unframed edge. | Prevents misunderstanding in production layout, packaging volume and installation preparation. |
| Material and finish | Low carbon steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel, PVC coated or powder coated finish. | Finish selection affects corrosion resistance, appearance, lead time and export packing protection. |
| Quantity and packing | Pieces, rolls, sheets, total area, destination, pallet size, crate request and shipping marks. | Gives a practical price, production plan and freight-ready packing proposal. |

 

 

 

## When to use each detailed page



 

### Use opening notes when sizes are unclear

Best for inquiries that mention 50 x 50 mm, 1/2 inch, mesh count, gauge, roll width or panel tolerance without a drawing.

 



## Related project references

Supplied projects with the same product type — application, specification and quantity.

### Use welded vs woven when function drives the choice

Best for guards, baskets, filtration, screening and flexible mesh where construction method changes the product behavior.

 

 

### Use sheet notes for expanded or perforated products

Best for architectural panels, machine guards, screens and sheet-based orders that need open area or hole pattern control.

 

 

 

 

## Common details missing from Wire Mesh RFQs



 

### Opening wording

- Clear opening vs center-to-center pitch
- Mesh count vs millimeter opening
- Hole diameter vs pitch for perforated sheet
 
 

 

### Finish environment

- Indoor dry use, outdoor weather or wet exposure
- Stainless grade or galvanizing request
- Color and coating thickness expectation
 
 

 

### Packing format

- Roll, panel or sheet packaging
- Pallet size and loading restriction
- Project marks for site sorting
 
 

 

 



 **Drawing tip** If you have a reference sample, installation photo or hand sketch, send it with the RFQ. It often confirms the mesh family faster than text alone.
