Superior to Steel Remesh for Concrete Reinforcement
SpiderMesh delivers the strength, durability, and ease of installation today’s concrete crews need—without many of the challenges associated with traditional welded steel mesh.
Engineered from high-strength, epoxy-coated fiberglass, SpiderMesh provides a lightweight, corrosion-resistant reinforcement solution for concrete slabs, sidewalks, driveways, pads, and other flatwork applications.
Why Choose SpiderMesh?
80% Lighter — Yet 80% Stronger¹
SpiderMesh weighs significantly less than traditional steel mesh while providing higher reported tensile strength. Its lighter weight makes transportation, handling, and placement easier on the jobsite.
Faster, Easier Installation
SpiderMesh can be handled and positioned by a single installer and is easier to cut than steel mesh, helping crews reduce labor and speed up installation.
Rust & Corrosion Resistant
Its nonmetallic fiberglass construction will not rust like conventional steel reinforcement. SpiderMesh also lays flat and maintains its shape during placement.
Designed to Move With Concrete
SpiderMesh has an expansion and contraction rate closely matched to concrete, helping provide effective reinforcement while controlling concrete cracking.¹ ²
