Material comparison
PVC-Coated Steel vs Stainless Steel Solar Bird Mesh
Short answer: PVC-coated steel solar bird mesh, PVC-coated stainless steel solar bird mesh and 304 stainless steel solar bird mesh without PVC coating are three different material paths. They should be written separately in an RFQ so the supplier quotes the correct base wire and finish.
Material paths
| PVC-coated steel wire mesh | Steel wire mesh with PVC coating; common black coated perimeter mesh wording. |
|---|---|
| PVC-coated stainless steel wire mesh | Stainless steel wire mesh with PVC coating; use when the buyer wants stainless base wire plus black coated finish. |
| 304 stainless steel wire mesh without PVC coating | Bare 304 stainless mesh; not the same as PVC-coated stainless mesh. |
RFQ wording
- Do not write only steel mesh if stainless or PVC coating matters.
- State whether the base wire must be stainless steel.
- State whether PVC coating is required.
- Confirm mesh height and roll length together with material.
- Confirm fastener and retaining-disc requirements with the same RFQ.
Buyer next step
Use the material options page and the technical data page before sending the RFQ.
