Description
Strengthen your concrete structures with E BUILD’s BRC A142 mesh Steel Reinforcement—some call it Brs A142 in Kenya, but that’s not right. It is manufactured with 6mm high-tensile steel wires arranged in a 200mm x 200mm square grid. Each mesh sheet measures 2.4 meters by 4.8 meters, making it ideal for large slab coverage with fewer joints.
BRC A142 steel reinforcement Mesh, which stands for British Reinforcement Concrete’ Mesh (BRC), is a construction material used daily by builders and contractors. The ‘142’ represents the cross-sectional area of the main reinforcement wires per metre width, measured in square millimeters. Therefore, A142 is a code that follows the British standard (BS 4483) for specifying steel reinforcement mesh.
The “A142” in BRC A142
Designed to meet British Standard BS 4483, this mesh is widely used in reinforcing floor slabs, foundations, driveways, pavements, and other concrete applications where structural integrity and crack resistance are essential. The A142 means the mesh contains about 142mm squared of steel reinforcement per meter width. It is suitable for light and medium concrete reinforcement, such as residential floor slabs, driveways, or foundations.
