A142 Mesh

A142 mesh uses a 6mm welded wire grid with 200mm spacing in both directions, giving it an even reinforcement pattern across the sheet. It is typically ordered where the A142 grade has already been identified in the project drawings or reinforcement schedule.

South Steel supplies A142 mesh online for domestic, self-build and trade requirements where the required grade has already been confirmed.

What A142 Tells You About the Mesh

The A142 designation identifies a square reinforcement mesh with a consistent wire layout in both directions. Its 6mm wires are spaced at 200mm centres, giving the sheet an equal reinforcement pattern each way.

If A142 appears on the drawings, material list or reinforcement schedule, that grade reference should guide the order. South Steel can help with product details, while the required reinforcement arrangement should remain based on the engineer’s specification.

Matching A142 Mesh to the Project Specification

A142 mesh may appear on drawings or schedules for concrete slabs, floors, walls and other reinforced elements where this lighter square-mesh grade has been selected.

Sheet layout, laps, positioning and concrete cover should therefore follow the engineer’s drawings or reinforcement schedule.

A142 Mesh at a Glance

A142 is identified by a consistent 6mm square-wire layout:

• 6mm wires in both directions
• 200mm centres throughout the grid
• 142mm² steel area per metre each way
• Nominal mass of approximately 2.22kg per m²

The “142” reflects the nominal steel area provided per metre in each direction. Together with the 6mm wire diameter and 200mm spacing, this defines the A142 specification.

Adding A142 Mesh to Your Steel Order

If A142 is listed in the project documents, it can be ordered directly through the South Steel website.

Where a project also needs rebar, cut and bent reinforcement or additional mesh specifications, these products can be sourced alongside A142. Customers needing other grades can browse South Steel’s reinforcing mesh range.
