We offer metal mesh solutions engineered for functional performance and practical flexibility. Expanded metal products are our core offering and our capabilities extend into wire mesh and expanded metal to support a variety of project requirements.
What is a metal mesh?
Metal mesh refers broadly to mesh products manufactured from metal, including woven or welded wire mesh and expanded‑metal mesh. Expanded metal is produced by slitting and stretching a single metal sheet to form a diamond‑pattern mesh; this method retains material integrity and delivers rigidity, airflow, and non-slip characteristics. Wire mesh, by contrast, is fabricated by weaving or welding metal wires into a uniform grid and is optimal for fine screening or filtering tasks.
What are the benefits of metal mesh wire for builders and designers?
1. Structural Integrity and Strength
Expanded metal mesh uses continuous metal bars formed into diamond ligaments, offering inherent structural strength with a favorable strength‑to‑weight balance.
2. Ventilation, Light Passage, and Visual Control
The open structure of expanded metal permits significant airflow and light transmission, supporting applications such as ventilation grilles, architectural sunscreens, and façade treatments.
3. Safety and Grip Performance
The textured surface of expanded metal provides reliable slip resistance—ideal for catwalks, flooring systems, and industrial flooring contexts.
Metal Mesh Application
- Building and Construction: architectural detailing, grates, balustrading, bolt boxes, sun baffles
- Safety and Security: fencing, protective grilles, catwalks, car-park ramps, flooring systems
- Design and Furnishings: furniture components, waste baskets, aesthetic partition
