Material

• Core Wire: PVC Coated Floral Wire is typically made from high-quality galvanized steel wire, offering excellent strength, flexibility, and durability. The wire is coated with a layer of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) to enhance its resistance to rust and corrosion.

Wire Diameter (BWG)

PVC Coated Floral Wire diameters are typically measured in Birmingham Wire Gauge (BWG). Common sizes include:

• 18 Gauge (1.02 mm): Thickest and strongest, ideal for heavy stems, large floral arrangements, or outdoor use.
• 20 Gauge (0.81 mm): Versatile for most floral arrangements, crafting projects, and general use.
• 22 Gauge (0.64 mm): Suitable for delicate floral work, smaller crafts, and applications requiring a thinner wire.
• 24 Gauge (0.51 mm): Thinnest commonly used size, ideal for very delicate floral arrangements, intricate craftwork, or situations where minimal visibility is desired.

Standard Shapes

PVC Coated Floral Wire is available in several standard shapes to accommodate different floral design needs:

• Solid Round: The most common shape for floral wire, offering flexibility and ease of use in shaping and bending.
• Straight Cut Wires: Pre-cut to specific lengths for ease of use
• Paddle Wires: Wound on a paddle for continuous use
• Spool Wires: Wound on spools, allowing for longer lengths and easy storage

Enameled Florist Wire

Enameled Florist Wire is primarily made from high-tensile steel, providing excellent strength and flexibility. The wire is then coated with an enamel finish, which enhances its appearance and protects it from rust and corrosion.

Wire Diameter (BWG)

• 22 BWG: approximately 0.028 inches (0.711 mm)
• 24 BWG: approximately 0.022 inches (0.559 mm)
• 26 BWG: approximately 0.018 inches (0.457 mm)

The finishing of Enameled Florist Wire involves a smooth and glossy enamel coating, available in a variety of colors such as green, red, white, and black. This coating not only protects the wire but also enhances the visual appeal of floral arrangements.
