Expanded Metal Mesh

We supply expanded metal mesh made from multiple base materials to adapt to diverse working conditions. Hot-dip galvanized carbon steel is the most economical option for outdoor infrastructure and general industrial use, with anti-rust treatment extending its service life in humid and rainy environments. 304 and 316L stainless steel expanded mesh features superior acid, alkali and salt corrosion resistance, perfectly suited for marine projects, chemical workshops, food processing plants and coastal construction. Aluminum expanded mesh stands out for ultra-light weight, good UV resistance and easy forming, widely applied in architectural decorative facades, ceiling panels and ventilation grilles.

We also have Fluorocarbon coating for the surfacetreatment. Fluorocarbon coating is a high-performance industrial or architectural coating that utilizes fluororesin as its primary film-forming agent. Thanks to its exceptionally strong chemical bonds, it offers superior weather resistance, corrosion resistance, and self-cleaning properties, with a service life of over 15 to 20 years.

Customizable specifications cover sheet thickness from 0.5mm to 14mm, variable strand width, adjustable diamond hole sizes, and customized sheet length and width to satisfy personalized engineering demands.

Its application scope covers nearly all industrial and construction sectors. In heavy industry, heavy expanded metal serves as anti-slip walkways, stair treads, operation platforms for mines, ships, power plants and heavy machinery equipment guards. In construction engineering, it acts as wall plaster lath, concrete reinforcement mesh, building sunshade panels, curtain wall cladding and indoor partition screens. For public security and municipal works, it is fabricated into protective fencing, highway isolation barriers, factory enclosure gates and window anti-theft grilles. It also finds wide use in filtration components, speaker grille covers, agricultural breeding netting and artistic decorative metal panels, proving itself an irreplaceable multi-purpose metal mesh material for global engineering procurement and architectural design.

Technical information of Expanded Metal Mesh

• Material Grade

Carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, and other metal alloy plate

• SWD (Short Way Dimension)

The length of short diamond diagonal from one pitch point center to another pitch point center.

• LWD (Long Way Dimension)

The length of long diamond diagonal from one pitch point center to another pitch point center.

• SWO (Short Way Opening)

The length of the short diagonal of the hole.

• LWO (Long Way Opening)

The length of the long diagonal of the hole.

• Bond

The intersection of two strands and it is always the width of two strands. Sometimes referred to as Knuckle.

• Overall Thickness

Actual measurement of the thickness of the mesh measured at the bond.

• Strands

Individual slit metal strips, or sides of an expanded metal pattern.

• Strand Width

Amount and dimensional length fed between the upper and lower tooling to produce the mesh.

• Strand thickness

Gauge or thickness of the sheet or coil from which the expanded metal was produced. It is also the thickness of the material after fattening.

• LW

Long way of expanded metal sheet

• SW

Short way of expanded metal sheet
