Overview

Wire Mesh has the strength to perform in industrial settings, the aesthetics to enhance architectural designs, and the versatility to fulfill a variety of functions. Routinely incorporated in signs, railing infills, cabinet inserts, plant screens and in other applications, this dynamic product family suits nearly any design. Its lightweight properties make it easy to cut-to-size and handle during installation. Our Wire Mesh products are available in multiple material types, including Aluminum, Brass, Carbon Steel, Copper, Stainless Steel and more! McNICHOLS carries an extensive selection of mesh and opening sizes, wire diameters and patterns. We also carry VINYLMESH™—a Galvanized Steel mesh that is PVC Coated for weather and corrosion resistance. If you are looking for a three-dimensional plant screen trellis option, look no further than ECO-MESH®!
