Expanded Metal Mesh Panels in Carbon Steel, Aluminum, and Stainless Steel

Expanded metal mesh is manufactured from carbon steel, galvanized steel, aluminum, or stainless steel by slitting and stretching metal sheets into uniform openings. It is widely used for fencing, safety barriers, walkways, platforms, facades, and ventilation panels. Classified as raised or flattened expanded metal, it is further defined by strand width, thickness, short and long way of diamond, and surface treatment, offering strength, durability, slip resistance, and efficient material use for industrial and architectural applications.

Specifications

  • Material: Carbon steel, galvanized steel, aluminum, and stainless steel.
  • Sheet Thickness: 0.5–8.0 mm for light, medium, and heavy-duty applications.
  • Strand Width: 1.0–8.0 mm depending on load and strength requirements.
  • Short Way of Diamond (SWD): 5–100 mm controlling opening width and rigidity.
  • Long Way of Diamond (LWD): 10–200 mm affecting airflow, visibility, and coverage.
  • Sheet Width: 600–1500 mm with standard and custom sizes available.
  • Sheet Length: 1000–3000 mm for panels, walkways, and platforms.
  • Surface Treatment: Black, galvanized, PVC coated, anodized, or painted finishes.
  • Expanded Metal Types: Raised (standard) or flattened expanded metal mesh.
  • Open Area Percentage: Approximately 30–75% depending on SWD and LWD.
  • Weight Range: About 2–35 kg/m² based on thickness and mesh size.
  • Tolerance Range: Dimensional tolerances typically within ±5–10%.

Features

  • One-Piece Structure: Formed from a single metal sheet with no welds or joints for high strength.
  • High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Reduced weight with strong load-bearing performance.
  • Slip-Resistant Surface: Raised diamond pattern improves traction and safety.
  • Excellent Airflow and Visibility: Open structure allows airflow, light transmission, and visibility.
  • Wide Material Selection: Carbon steel, galvanized steel, aluminum, and stainless steel options.
  • Raised and Flattened Types: Available as raised or flattened expanded metal mesh.
  • Durable Surface Finishes: Galvanized, PVC coated, anodized, or painted for corrosion resistance.
  • Easy Fabrication and Installation: Easy to cut, bend, and frame without loss of strength.

Applications

  • Security Fencing: Perimeter fencing, anti-climb barriers, and protective enclosures.
  • Industrial Walkways and Platforms: Walkways, stairs, platforms, and safety flooring.
  • Machine Guards: Protection for machinery with airflow and visibility.
  • Architectural Facades: Building facades, sunshades, and decorative exterior panels.
  • Ventilation Panels: Ventilation screens, air intakes, and equipment enclosures.
  • Ceiling and Partition Panels: Ceilings, partitions, and interior space division.
  • Storage and Racking Systems: Shelving, storage cages, and material handling systems.
  • Safety Barriers: Safety guards, handrail infill panels, and protective barriers.
