Plain & Twill Weave Woven Wire Cloth
These weaves are the most economical and are often used for sifting and sizing, particle separation, filtering, safety, and security applications. Dorstener Wire Tech offers these in a wide range of specifications, alloys, and grades.ย DWT manufactures plain and twill weave wire cloth to customer specifications.
Plain weave wire cloth is woven by alternating the shute wire over and under the warp wire, creating a wire mesh. Twill weave wire cloth is woven by passing the shute wire over and under two warp wires, creating a sturdier weave. This weave allows for the use of heavier wires, producing a stronger wire mesh.
Both weaves are economical – the plain weave being the most common and economical to produce. Uses of wire mesh include:
- Sizing
- Particle separation and filtering
- Particulate sifting
- Safety and equipment protection.
Industries served include aerospace, automotive, construction and oil & gas.
DWT’s custom manufacturing services include:
- Wide selection of metals and alloys, including special wire selections such as cable mesh and plastic-coated wire.
- Extra wide woven wire cloth, up to 240″ width for selected items.
- Woven wire cloth in long rolls, up to 2000โ long coils or rolls with no seams.
- Woven edges.
- Full range of conversion services, including slitting, shearing, calendaring, stretching and annealing.
- Oblong opening and high aspect ratio wire cloth designs are available.
DWT maintains the highest quality standards and is ISO 9001:2008 certified. All of our wire cloth products can be supplied in DFAR-compliant materials and meet or exceed ASTM standards. For a quick quote on our plain and twill weave woven wire cloth capabilities, contact us today.

Reverse Dutch Weave & Reverse Dutch Twill Weave Woven Wire Cloth
Reverse Dutch weave woven wire cloth is woven using two sizes of wire. Smaller wires are used in the warp direction and are woven with a larger shute wire. The smaller wires are woven tightly together, providing a tight mesh for filtering. The larger wire provides strength to the mesh. The primary uses of this woven wire cloth are filtration and separation of liquid and slurry products.
Reverse Twill Dutch weave woven wire cloth combines Dutch and twill weaving to provide a fine mesh filtering cloth. The weaving process allows for the use of very fine wires, producing filtering mesh for gas and liquid applications. We also provide Herringbone and Broken Pattern Reverse Twill Dutch Weave Products.
We also offer high tensile warp wire configurations that are commonly used in auto screen changers used in the plastic extrusion industry.
Dorstener Wire Tech offers custom wire configurations for woven wire cloth to meet the specific needs of our clients. For Dutch weaves, micron-grade wire is most commonly used.ย
In addition, DWT has the capability to manufacture:
- High Tensile Warp wire for Auto-Screen changers used in the Plastic Extrusion Industry.
- Rubbed Edges after slitting to help with tracking for Auto-Screen changers.
- Plasma and laser cut parts to help prevent wire’s edges from fraying.
- 100% Inspection of Wire Cloth for critical applications such as sand screens and aerospace applications.
We offer a wide range of metals and alloys to provide the best material or combination of materials for the filter mesh. Contact us today for more information or a detailed quote.
