ClarkDietrich Building Systems continues its commitment to providing the most comprehensive lineup of steel framing products with the launch of Barrier Mesh, a heavy-gauge steel mesh designed to safeguard against break-ins and breakouts across the wall system. This tough, rigid mesh is ideal for applications requiring added security, such as correctional facilities, government offices, computer rooms, retail stores and banks.
Barrier Mesh can be used in both metal and wood framing applications and is installed on the framing side of the perimeter wall of the space to be protected. There are various methods to attach Barrier Mesh to the framing, including nails, screws and even tack-welding to steel framing. The recommended BM-Clips act like washers to attach Barrier Mesh to framing members using appropriate threaded fasteners.
