Expanded Metal Mesh
Expanded metal mesh is made by cutting and stretching diamond-shaped openings in a metal sheet under pressure. This design allows air, light and water to pass through while also blocking larger objects. The mesh is usually available in a standard (raised) diamond pattern or a flat pattern and is often made of aluminum, carbon steel, galvanized steel or stainless steel. In some cases, metal mesh is seen as a substitute for metal sheet or wire mesh. It combines the advantages of both. It is stronger than fine wire mesh and has better air permeability and drainage performance than metal sheet.
This design, called regular or standard pattern, varies according to material specifications, types and diamond size. A variety of styles can be obtained by rolling the metal mesh flat through a cold rolling mill. In addition, metal mesh can be made into thicker specifications, which are suitable for various walkways, ramps and narrow passages, especially in heavy-duty gratings and narrow passages used on the ground of industrial plants. Expanded metal mesh has a wide range of applications in the field of filtration due to its flexible material selection and customizable size. Thicker specifications with pore sizes greater than 1/2 inch (about 1.27 cm) are also suitable for some general applications, such as safety partitions and coverings. The design without welds or joints allows the load to be evenly distributed over a large area, making it one of the most versatile materials for commercial, industrial, interior design or architectural purposes.
As a metal mesh supplier in China, Haopeng offers customization services (size, thickness, width, etc.) to meet all your business needs.
Strong and Durable
Metal mesh is made by flattening metal into a single solid piece of metal and then stretching it. Since there are no welds or joints, metal mesh is stronger and can withstand greater loads. It can be used as a structural member to evenly distribute loads over a larger area.
Allows Ventilation
The mesh design of metal mesh allows for better ventilation. Air and moisture can easily pass through the openings, promoting drying and preventing rust and residue accumulation.
Versatile
The material can be easily shaped for a variety of uses and can be used in many different industries.
Anti-slip Surface
The anti-slip properties of expanded mesh provide a strong and secure grip to prevent accidents. This is especially important for ramps and walkways. Suitable for channels, rugged maintenance floors, gratings and walkways in factories, shipyards and refineries.
Provides good visibility
Due to its open mesh design, light is able to penetrate, providing visibility in enclosed areas. This is essential for areas where visibility is extremely important, such as walkways or maintenance platforms. Used for screening, ventilation and safety screens in many industrial buildings.
Affordable
Rather than punching out excess material, these openings are made by cutting and stretching the metal. As a result, waste in the production process is minimized, making it a more cost-effective alternative to other solutions.
Used as a metal sheet to support stucco or plaster finishes, expanded metal mesh can also be used in a variety of applications such as walkways, gratings, fences, covers, gutter covers, roadways, brackets, enclosed spaces, safety barriers and as the outer layer of filters and grilles.
