Oblong weave (OW): more open screen surface

Oblong weave

Oblong weaves are a further development of square weaves for increasing the open screen area.

With oblong weaves the number of weft wires is reduced, thus enlarging the mesh opening in the warp direction. The typical weave ratio of this asymmetrical mesh is 3:1. Customized weave ratios for specific customer requirements are also possible.
