#8 stainless steel woven mesh with 2.28mm aperture and 0.9mm wire. With 51% open area and 3.24 kg/m² weight, it’s ideal for heavy-duty screening, guarding, and ventilation. Strong, corrosion-resistant, and reliable for both industrial and architectural applications.
Our #8 woven wire mesh, made from durable 304-grade stainless steel, features a 2.28mm aperture and a 0.9mm wire diameter, offering a robust and fairly heavy-duty solution for screening, filtering, and structural applications. With a 51% open area and a weight of 3.24 kg per square metre, this mesh provides a strong combination of openness and strength, making it suitable for use in industrial, architectural, and fabrication settings.
The #8 mesh count, meaning eight holes per linear inch, gives this material a consistent medium-coarse weave that allows solid airflow and liquid drainage while still acting as an effective physical barrier. Its sturdy wire thickness ensures that it resists deformation under load and performs well in applications where durability and longevity are essential. The 304 stainless steel composition offers excellent resistance to corrosion, oxidation, and heat, making the mesh suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments, including high-moisture or chemically exposed areas.
This mesh is widely used in mechanical screening, machine guarding, security mesh panels, ventilation grilles, drying trays, and protective filters. It’s also a popular choice for architectural metalwork, basket frames, support mesh, and wall cladding, where both form and function matter. The clean, metallic finish of stainless steel adds a professional appearance while eliminating the need for surface treatments.
Despite its weight and strength, this mesh can still be cut and fabricated using appropriate tools, and it welds easily to frames and fittings for custom installations. Whether you’re constructing a high-load support structure, a barrier to protect machinery, or a ventilation panel that needs to stand up to repeated use, this mesh performs consistently over time.
Wire mesh materials are also available in brass, copper, galvanised steel and blue PVC.
