Mesh BRC A142
BRC A142 Mesh is a high-strength welded steel reinforcement mesh manufactured from 6mm high-tensile steel wires welded together in a uniform 200mm × 200mm grid pattern. Designed to reinforce concrete structures, BRC A142 helps improve load distribution, minimize cracking, and enhance the durability and performance of slabs, foundations, pavements, and other reinforced concrete elements. It is one of the most widely used reinforcement meshes for residential and light commercial construction projects in Kenya.
Manufactured to standards such as BS 4483, BRC A142 provides consistent reinforcement quality and faster installation compared to traditional steel bar reinforcement methods.
