6mm A142 High Tensile Steel Reinforcement Mesh Sheet 2400mm x 4800mm

A142 reinforcement mesh with 6mm high-tensile bars set at 200mm centres, for light-duty concrete reinforcement. A142 is a standard BS 4483 mesh (142g per m²) designed to control cracking in light domestic slabs such as paths, sheds, and floors.When placed on spacers or chairs and embedded within 100-150mm of freshly poured concrete, the mesh bonds with the curing material to create a composite structure. By distributing both compressive and tensile stresses, it significantly improves durability and reduces the risk of long-term cracking.Each sheet measures 2400mm x 4800mm, reducing the number of panels required across a slab, minimising lap zones, and improving reinforcement continuity on larger pours. For continuity of reinforcement, sheets should be overlapped by at least one square (200mm) and tied securely with wire.
