Structural metal mesh for safety and security applications — balustrade infill panels meeting AS 1657 and NCC requirements, fall protection screens, perimeter security grilles, and containment mesh. Every system is defined with a written structural note confirming the mesh configuration against the applicable load requirement.
Rigid mesh panels in structural frames for balustrade infill — resisting the minimum horizontal loads required by AS 1657 for commercial buildings. Wire diameter, aperture, panel span, and fixing method confirmed against the applicable load case. Written structural note issued with every specification.
Metal mesh installed to prevent falls through open building voids — stairwell openings, plant room grating, floor penetrations, and roof edge protection. Heavy-gauge rigid mesh (3.0–6.0mm wire) in bolted frame. Load case and fixing configuration from structural drawings.
Heavy welded mesh panels for perimeter and access control applications. Small aperture (10–25mm), heavy wire (3.0–6.0mm), and galvanised or powder-coated finish for outdoor exposure. Panel and post configuration from site drawings.
Rigid mesh or formed metal grille panels for window, door, and service opening protection. Removable (hinged or sliding) or fixed configurations. Locking and access hardware specified from architectural drawings. Finish to match building specification.
Metal mesh installed to contain debris, prevent object projectile hazard, or limit access in industrial or public infrastructure applications. Load case defined by impact energy or containment requirement — structural note issued per project.
Balustrade infill and safety barrier mesh for pool surrounds and water features. SS316L with electrolytic polish required for direct pool chemical exposure. Code compliance under NCC Part F1 and local pool safety regulations. Grade and finish specified from project location and exposure classification.
JBL Metal does not issue generic "code-compliant" claims against safety mesh. Every safety mesh specification includes a written structural note that documents the mesh configuration, the load case it was designed against, and the reference standard.
The structural note does not constitute engineering certification — that is the responsibility of the project's structural engineer. The note provides the mesh configuration parameters so the structural engineer can confirm compliance. The scope boundary is clear and documented.
| Parameter | Typical Safety Mesh Range | Governed By |
|---|---|---|
| Wire diameter | 2.0 – 6.0mm | Panel span + load case |
| Aperture | 10 – 50mm | Security requirement |
| Edge treatment | Welded edge — required | Structural integrity |
| Material grade | SS304 · SS316 · Galv. | Environment / exposure |
| Panel fixing | Bolted perimeter frame | Load transfer path |
| Load reference | AS 1657 · NCC · project spec | Building class |
JBL Metal issues mesh specification parameters and a written structural note. Engineering certification of code compliance is the responsibility of the project structural engineer. This scope boundary is stated in every safety mesh specification.
Submit your safety or security mesh drawings with the applicable load specification and building class. We will issue a written mesh specification and structural note within 6 business hours — confirming wire diameter, aperture, edge treatment, and fixing method against the stated load case.
