Barrier Mesh for Security
High-strength expanded metal mesh for walls and ceilings
Barrier Mesh™ is a tough, rigid, heavy-gauge steel mesh installed typically onto stud framing (both metal and wood), with gypsum sheathing applied to its surface to conceal the barrier mesh, thereby providing a significant barrier to security breach across that wall system.
Quick Actions:
ClarkDietrich Barrier Mesh (BM) can also be used without sheathing to provide an enhanced protection of security to walls, ceilings as well as floors. Barrier Mesh is produced in different size diamonds and gauges for minimum, medium or maximum security protection.
In addition to providing high-strength and fire-resistant protection, Barrier Mesh also offers a cost effective and time-saving alternative to reinforced concrete or concrete masonry systems. The Barrier Mesh System is designed to attach to metal or wood stud framing with specially designed Barrier Mesh™ clips, purchased with the Barrier Mesh and shipped together, as a system. ClarkDietrich mesh sheets are 4’x 8’ and sizes in chart below; special order mesh sizes available upon requests with additional lead-time.
