Insulation Protection Mesh (GI/SS) Installation Contractor in Dubai UAE
In industrial, commercial, and infrastructure projects across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, and Fujairah, Insulation Protection Mesh made from Galvanized Iron (GI) or Stainless Steel (SS) plays a critical role in enhancing durability, safeguarding insulation systems, and ensuring long-term performance.
Protek Contracting, a leading Insulation Protection Mesh Installation Contractor in Dubai, UAE and the Middle East, specializes in design, supply, and installation of high-quality GI and SS mesh solutions for diverse insulation applications.
Whether you are protecting thermal, acoustic, or fireproof insulation, our GI/SS meshes provide mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and compliance with UAE and international standards.
What is Insulation Protection Mesh (GI/SS)?
An Insulation Protection Mesh is a woven or welded wire product installed over insulation to:
Prevent mechanical damage.
Maintain insulation integrity during maintenance or impact.
Allow ventilation while keeping insulation materials intact.
Resist corrosion in challenging environments.
GI mesh is made from zinc-coated steel wire for corrosion resistance, while SS mesh uses stainless steel grades (304, 316) for superior chemical and saltwater resistance.
Advantages of Using GI/SS Mesh for Insulation Protection
1. Superior Mechanical Protection
Prevents tearing, crushing, or dislodging of insulation in high-traffic industrial areas.
2. Corrosion Resistance
GI Mesh: Zinc coating resists rust for long service life.
SS Mesh: Excellent performance in marine and offshore environments in Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain.
3. Fire Resistance
Maintains structural integrity even under high temperatures, critical for oil & gas facilities in Abu Dhabi.
4. UV & Weather Protection
Resists degradation from Dubai’s intense sun and Sharjah’s high humidity.
5. Easy Maintenance Access
Flexible and easy to remove for inspection or repair.
