High Rib Mesh for Concrete Permanent Formwork & Exterior Wall Plastering

High rib mesh, also referred to as fast-ez high ribbed formwork, is produced by stamping and forming galvanized or stainless steel sheets.

This mesh is a seamless steel product reinforced by integrated ribs. The continuous parallel V ribs are the primary structure of the high rib mesh, which can be flexed along these ribs. Its design, combined with hy-rib tangs, allows high rib mesh to be extensively utilized as a carrier for plaster, stucco, fireproofing material, and also as a permanent formwork for concrete.

High Ribbed Formwork Widely Used in Concrete Construction

High Ribbed Formwork, also known as Permanent Formwork, is utilized as a consumable template. The edges of the mesh are embedded in the concrete during the pouring process. This forms a mechanical wedge that binds firmly with the adjacent concrete block. The quality of the joint is highly controlled, providing adhesion and shearing strength comparable to rough cut stitching. There's no need for drilling, plugging, or other secondary processes, resulting in shorter construction time and stronger concrete.

The interface of the high-ribbed formwork sheet provides a rough texture that offers exceptional sealing for the next concrete pour. Secondary pouring can be performed directly, avoiding manual processes like drilling, plugging, cleaning, or maintenance, thereby ensuring the old and new concrete merge seamlessly without seepage. This makes sealing preparation significantly easier.

The high-ribbed mesh is versatile, easy to cut, and can be bent to fit various formwork configurations. This avoids potential damage to the concrete from drilling or plugging. The openings in the high-ribbed formwork sheet help dissipate cement mortar pressure, spreading it roughly 2/3 more efficiently than traditional formwork. This efficiency reduces the need for additional formwork support, thereby lowering labor and material costs.

The High-Ribbed Formwork Sheet remains on the concrete surface, preventing cracking due to temperature changes. The steel bars can easily pass through the high-ribbed formwork and can be continuously bundled. The special openings in the mesh allow steel bars with diameters smaller than 12mm to pass through effortlessly. Larger bars can also be accommodated by cutting the mesh, which then returns to its original position after the bars are inserted. The high-ribbed formwork can be positioned before tying the steel bars, making bar placement through the mesh openings straightforward.

Besides the high-ribbed metal mesh, Wusheng Hardware also offers Rib Lath, Curved Metal Mesh, and various other metal mesh types. Contact us to discover the best solutions for your needs.
