Protective - Stainless Steel or Galvanised Cages

That’s why Protective makes a range of wire mesh including:

• Stainless steel wire mesh –304 and 316 grade stainless steel
• Galvanised—in a choice of standard or heavy duty coatings
• PVC coating for stainless or galvanised

Stainless steel is appropriate in applications where high corrosion resistance is needed such as in coastal areas or areas exposed to chlorinated pools.

Stainless steel also offers stunning visual appeal.  Stainless steel may be a particularly good choice for animal enclosures where the wire mesh will be exposed to frequent scratching or biting behaviours or highly acidic urine.

Galvanised tends to be a little cheaper but is tough and long-lasting. Even when scratched the galvanised coating will protect the steel but it does so at a cost to the integrity of the coating’s long-term protection.

PVC plastic coatings can be added to either stainless steel or galvanised wire mesh and in both cases provides additional protection and durability. A choice of colours (black or white) can make a stunning visual statement.
