Insulation & Refractory Mesh

Several industries use metal wire mesh for insulation and refractory purposes. This type of mesh is often referred to as hex mesh due to its hexagonal weave. Learn more about the various applications and distinct features of refractory lining mesh below.

Insulation and refractory hex mesh is manufactured to withstand and maintain certain temperatures. In addition to their insulative qualities, refractory meshes are highly resistant to heat, making them nearly impossible to melt or fuse. They perform as a barrier between exceptionally high- and low-temperature zones. This makes refractory mesh particularly useful in the construction of boilers, furnaces, and other high-heat systems.

The flexible material can adapt to fit a variety of industrial applications. That being said, it’s most commonly used in construction and building.

In the construction sector, refractory and insulation mesh is often used for:

  • Additional flooring support

  • Reinforcing thin wall linings

  • Cement structures

  • Ductwork and HVAC

  • Minimizing the stress on framework to prevent cracking

  • Added security

Hexagonal mesh is also used by civil engineers to mitigate landslides. Additionally, smaller weaves of hex mesh (widely known as chicken wire) a popular landscaping material.

Materials, Weave Types & Sizing Options

The insulation and refractory mesh from TWP Inc. is available in two materials: galvanized woven and stainless steel T-304 (Alloy Type 304). Stainless T-304 is a basic stainless steel material containing 18% chromium and 8% nickel. Galvanized hardware cloth has a zinc coating, which makes it last longer than standard stainless steel.

Choose from different wire diameters and widths as well as various weaves, including 0.75, 1, 1.5, or 2 squares per linear inch.

In addition to extreme temperatures, the unique material composition and design of hex wire mesh makes it resistant to:

  • Abrasion

  • Corrosion

  • Flames

  • Eroding

  • Spalling

Hex metals are flexible and easy to roll, allowing them to be fashioned into various shapes, both large and small.
