Q1: What is expanded metal mesh?

Expanded metal mesh is a durable, lightweight material made by cutting and stretching a single metal sheet into a pattern of diamond-shaped openings. It provides structural strength while allowing airflow, light, and visibility.

The manufacturing process involves slitting a metal sheet with a press and then stretching it to create interconnected diamond-shaped openings. This forms “strands” (the metal strips) and “bonds” (the unslit intersections), resulting in minimal material waste.

-Standard: Features raised strands for slip resistance and rigidity.  

-Flattened: Roll-pressed to create a smooth, flat surface.  

-Materials: Includes stainless steel, aluminum, carbon steel, galvanized steel, and specialty alloys.

Applications span:  

-Industrial: Machine guards, walkways, filters.  

-Construction: Fencing, sunshades, facades.  

-Automotive: Grilles, cargo racks.  

-Architecture: Decorative panels, ceiling tiles.

Benefits include:  

-High strength-to-weight ratio: Strong yet lightweight.  

-Cost-effective: Minimal production waste.  

-Customizable: Adjust thickness, hole size (SWD/LWD), and patterns.  

-Versatility: Allows airflow, light, and visibility.

It can be welded, bolted, or clamped into place. For standard (non-flattened) types, wear safety gloves to avoid sharp edges. Flattened mesh is safer to handle.

Yes. Customization options include:  

– Material type (e.g., corrosion-resistant stainless steel).  

– Sheet thickness (gauge).  

– Strand width and aperture size (SWD: Short Way of Design, LWD: Long Way of Design).  

– Patterns (e.g., diamond, double diamond).

Yes. Standards include ASTM (e.g., ASTM F1267 for security) and ISO. we will offer certifications for corrosion resistance, load capacity if you need. And third party inspection is available.

Clean with mild detergent and water. Protective coatings (e.g., powder coating, galvanization) extend lifespan in harsh environments like marine or industrial settings.

– B2C customers: Online retailers or local wire mesh shops.

– B2b customers: Contact us directly. Competitive price and high quality.

Perforated Metal: Creates holes via punching, leading to higher waste and less ventilation.  

Welded Mesh: Weaker at joints and prone to corrosion.  

Expanded metal offers better strength, airflow, and cost efficiency.

Yes. Its production generates minimal waste, and most materials (e.g., aluminum, steel) are recyclable. Sustainable choices include using recycled metals.

– Sharp edges on standard mesh (flattened versions is safer).  

– Load capacity depends on material and thickness.

Yes. Stainless steel and galvanized treatment resist corrosion. Coatings add UV or fire resistance, making it suitable for outdoor or high-temperature environments.

Consider:  

-Environment: Indoor/outdoor, exposure to moisture/heat.  

-Function: Load requirements, safety (slip resistance).  

-Aesthetics: Pattern, finish, and color.
