Plain weave (1:1)
This is the most commonly used style of weaving.  Every second wire is woven in, warp and weft wires run over and under each other alternately and interlock.  Plain weave meshes guarantee optimum accuracy of apertures or filter pores.  These products use wires, which are thinner than the corresponding apertures.

Twilled weave (2:2)
In cases where increased wire thickness is required in relation to the aperture size, which yield in the weaving process cannot withstand, this style of weave is chosen.  Here, at least two wires are woven in pairs, subsequently displacing a single wire.  Mesh stability is controlled by a combination of aperture size and wire strength, and displays a slight diagonal trend.  Using modern weaving technology, excellent stability of weave can be achieved.
