What does WWR stand for?

Welded wire reinforcement (WWR) is a prefabricated reinforcement consisting of parallel series of high – strength, colddrawn or cold- rolled wire welded together – in square or rectangular grids.

What size wire do I need for my WWR?

The spacing or “grid” of the WWR can be varied in both directions. We offer wire sizes in both plain and deformed wire up to D31 (dia. 0.628 in.). Sheet sizes are made to fit your requirements, up to the width of the welding machine (up to 13-6 in.) and lengths determined by handling limitations.

What is welded wire reinforcement (WWR)?

Tree Island Steel produces quality Welded Wire Reinforcement (WWR), in sheets and rolls, for the construction and pre-cast industries. Wire reinforcement or wire fabric is an efficient, economical and viable option for concrete reinforcement. Save time and money using Welded Wire Reinforcement over standard rebar methods.

What is the difference between WWR and rebar?

Typically between 100 and 200 square feet of reinforcement are placed at once. Lighter = Less Freight Pound per pound, WWR is stronger than rebar resulting in less overall weight for your project. The lighter weight reduces transportation costs and eases placement. Introduction
