Mesh

description Mesh Overview

Mesh is a textile structure characterized by regularly distributed openings between yarns, fibers, wires, or strands. It can be produced through knitting, weaving, knotting, extrusion, or related construction methods, with the material and opening size chosen for the intended use. Textile mesh is used where airflow, drainage, visibility, low weight, or filtration is needed, including sportswear, bags, footwear, screens, medical products, and industrial filters.

help Mesh FAQ

Is mesh knitted or woven?

Mesh can be knitted or woven, and it can also be made by knotting, extrusion, or related construction methods. The defining feature is its regular pattern of openings.

What materials can be used to make mesh?

Mesh may use yarns, fibers, wires, or other strands, depending on the intended job. A knitted clothing mesh and a wire mesh screen can therefore share the same open structure while using different materials.

What controls the opening size in mesh?

The material, construction method, strand spacing, and thickness help determine how large the openings are. Manufacturers choose that opening size for the intended balance of airflow, visibility, filtering, or strength.

Why choose mesh instead of a solid textile?

The regularly distributed openings allow air, light, or other material to pass when the application needs it. Whether the mesh is knitted, woven, or extruded determines how those openings behave.
