Various specifications and models of various styles of Crimped copper wire mesh

   Crimped copper wire mesh is a woven wire mesh by pre-crimped copper wire. The crimp refers to the depression in wires which is design to hold the wire in place. According to the distribution of crimps, crimped wire can be divided into plain weave, intermediate crimped and lock-crimped.

    Crimped wire mesh has sturdy structure and can be used in heavy applications. For example, intermediate crimped mesh is used as coarse meshes to obtain large opening.

   Crimped copper wire mesh is a yellowish red color when first woven and will gradually patina (discolor) to a greenish/bluish called verdigris. This patina effect may be accelerated by first removing surface oil from the mesh using "Shower Power" TM or a similar mild household cleaning product. After rinsing it well, the copper will shine, but will be unprotected.

   In an outdoor environment, the discoloration will become pronou nced in less than six months in climates such as the seashore, or it may remain untarnished for years in desert conditions. This discoloration may be stopped by lacquering, waxing, or periodically oiling the crimped copper wire mesh mesh to protect it from atmospheric conditions.

   The unique green color of the patina that develops over time makes the crimped copper wire mesh a very popular option for designers, artists, architects, and homeowners. Homeowners and designers choose copper wire mesh for residential projects such as: gutter guards, insect screens, fireplace screens, or decorative wall panels. Artists, including: sculptors, wood workers, metal artisans, and architects prefer the crimped copper wire mesh due to its ability to form complex shapes.

Differences between intermediate crimped copper wire mesh and lock crimped copper wire mesh

   Either intermediate or lock crimped wire mesh is comprised of pre-crimped wire. The distinct difference depends on the wire used in lock crimped wire mesh has a notch or bump at the intersections. The notch substantially encourages stabilization.The lock crimped wire mesh feels  more tidy, simple and generous.The intermediate crimped copper wire mesh feels more artistic and beautiful.
