Product Overview
A142 reinforcement mesh with 6mm high-tensile bars set at 200mm centres, for light-duty concrete reinforcement.
A142 is a standard BS 4483 mesh (142g per m²) designed to control cracking in light domestic slabs such as paths, sheds, and floors.
When placed on spacers or chairs and embedded within 100-150mm of freshly poured concrete, the mesh bonds with the curing material to create a composite structure.
By distributing both compressive and tensile stresses, it significantly improves durability and reduces the risk of long-term cracking.
Each sheet measures 2000mm x 3600mm, providing convenient handling while maintaining full reinforcement coverage. For continuity of reinforcement, sheets should be overlapped by at least one square (200mm) and tied securely with wire.
Features & Benefits
- A142 designation: Indicates a nominal weight of 142g/m², defining it as a light-duty mesh suitable for domestic concrete reinforcement.
- High tensile steel construction: Improves resistance to cracking, structural movement, and load stresses.
- Bonds with curing concrete: Creates a composite material that distributes stresses effectively.
- Resistance welded intersections: Enhances strength and durability at every joint.
- Light-duty reinforcement format: Reinforces domestic slabs, shed bases, patios, and paving.
- 6mm diameter reinforcement: Provides tensile strength for light-duty slabs and bases with depths of 100–150mm.
- 2000mm x 3600mm sheet size: Practical dimensions for site handling while maintaining reinforcement coverage.
Applications
- Concrete slabs (100–150mm thick): Provides effective reinforcement for light-duty slabs, preventing shrinkage cracking and improving load-bearing capacity.
- Shed bases: Adds stability and strength for small garden buildings and outbuildings.
- Patios and paving: Controls cracking in outdoor slabs subject to temperature change and ground movement.
- Light footings and walls: Enhances tensile performance in small-scale domestic foundations and retaining structures.
Installation Guidance
- Place on supports: Position mesh correctly within the slab depth for effective reinforcement.
- Tie overlaps: Secure adjoining sheets to maintain continuity and prevent movement.
- Maintain cover: Ensure adequate concrete cover to protect against corrosion.
Compliance & Performance
- High tensile reinforcement steel: Manufactured to BS 4483:2005 specifications.
- Meets BS 4449:2005 standards: Ensures compliance for reinforcement steel.
- Fully CE-certified: Approved for use in reinforced concrete applications.
- Resistance welded intersections: Guarantees strength and durability throughout the mesh.
Delivery & Returns Information
Delivery charges vary by product category and order value. Items may ship from different suppliers and arrive separately, so delivery charges can be shown per part of your order at checkout.

How delivery works
We work with a nationwide network of trusted suppliers. Items in your basket may be supplied by different suppliers and delivered separately. Where this applies, you will see delivery charges shown at checkout for each part of your order. We always aim to group products from the same supplier to keep delivery costs as low as possible.
Delivery areas
Delivery charges apply to mainland UK, excluding: AB, CA, CF, DD, DG, EH, EX, FK, KA, KW, KY, IV, LA, LD, LL, ML, NP, PA, PH, PL, SA, SY, TR, TQ and TD.
If your address is in one of these areas, we will contact you before processing your order to confirm any additional costs. We do not currently offer delivery outside the UK mainland.
What to expect on delivery day
- Deliveries are typically kerbside.
- Please ensure someone is on-site to accept delivery. For heavier items, help with offloading may be required.
- Many building materials arrive on large vehicles. If access is restricted, a specialist vehicle such as a HIAB may be required and could incur an additional charge.
Why delivery can cost more than typical parcel delivery
Building materials often travel on larger vehicles and usually carry fewer drops per run than parcel networks. That is why delivery charges can be higher than standard e-commerce shipping.
Returns
Returns depend on what you have bought and whether there is anything wrong with it. For full details on eligibility, timeframes, and exclusions, please see our full policy.
