Expanded Mesh can be used in many applications, including:
Window and air-conditioning grilles
Walkways and catwalls
Anti-glare mesh for road dividers
Speaker grilles
Air and fuel filters
Anti-explosive mesh in vaults and security areas
Sunscreen and Insect Screen Mesh
Expanded Mesh is available in various metals, including non-metals, and expanded into varying sizes and shapes.
Benefits
Expanded Mesh can be manufactured in various thicknesses, strand widths and openings. This provides much flexibility in its applications:
Regulations Of Light, Fluid and Air
By varying the thickness and strand width of Expanded Mesh, the screening of light as well as diffusion of fluid and air flow can be accomplished.
Vision And Sound Control
By correct angling and positioning, Expanded Mesh can be used to obstruct vision (anti-glare or aesthetic purposes) in addition to deflecting sound.
Construction Material Reinforcement
Expanded Mesh serves as an excellent plaster key and increases building strength when embedded in concrete, plaster and glass for construction work.
Increased Heat And Electrical Conductivity
The formation of Expanded Mesh is jointless, which is ideal for conditions where uninterrupted heat flow and electrical conduction is required.
Greater Load Capacity
Expanded Mesh, in unflattened form and with vertically-angled strands, is lighter than sheet metal of the same thickness, while having a greater load capacity.
Notes
Expanded Mesh can be custom-manufactured with post-production processes such as levelling, flattening, hot-dipped galvanising to BS 729, powder coating to BS 5493 and aluminium anodising. Please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
