Web Wire Mesh offers both raw edge and selvage edge for its plain weave stainless steel wire mesh.
Raw edge refers to a mesh with exposed weft wires that is not continuously woven and is usually the result of manufacturing wire mesh on a rapier loom. Raw edge is the most common edge type in the wire mesh industry.
Selvage edge refers to the edge or border of wire mesh finished off so as to prevent unraveling. The selvage edge provides a finished edge for the wire mesh by continuously weaving the weft wire so that there is no exposed wire ends along the length of the roll. When a selvage edge is required, it is important to specify, as raw edge is widely the norm in the industry.
