About this product

Product information from the supplier.

Our Heavy Expanded Metal Mesh is a high-strength, rigid industrial solution engineered through a precision slitting and stretching process. Unlike traditional woven mesh, this material is created from a single piece of metal, resulting in a non-raveling structure that offers exceptional structural integrity and load-bearing capacity. By expanding the metal up to ten times its original size, we create a lightweight yet incredibly strong mesh that retains 100% of the original material, ensuring maximum efficiency and zero waste.

Designed for the most demanding environments, our heavy-duty mesh is available in a wide array of premium materials including low carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and copper. With advanced surface treatments such as hot-dip galvanizing and PVC coating, these panels provide superior corrosion resistance and longevity. Whether utilized for heavy machinery protection, industrial walkways, or high-security fencing, our expanded metal mesh delivers a perfect balance of transparency, strength, and durability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between expanded metal and welded wire mesh?

Expanded metal is made from a single sheet of metal that is slit and stretched, creating a continuous, non-raveling structure. Welded mesh is made by intersecting wires and welding them at the joints. Expanded metal generally offers higher rigidity and zero material waste.

Q: Which material is best for high-corrosion environments?

For extreme corrosion, we recommend Stainless Steel or Hot-Dip Galvanized steel. For marine environments, aluminum-magnesium alloys or PVC-coated galvanized steel provide excellent protection against salt and moisture.

Q: Can the hole shape be customized for architectural projects?

Yes, we offer a variety of patterns including diamond, hexagonal, fish scale, and turtle-shaped holes, as well as fancy custom patterns to meet specific aesthetic and functional requirements.

Q: What is the maximum thickness available for heavy expanded mesh?

Our heavy expanded metal mesh can be produced from sheets with a thickness of up to 14mm, making it suitable for industrial flooring and heavy machinery platforms.

Q: Do you provide custom sizes and OEM services?

Absolutely. We provide full OEM and ODM services, allowing customers to specify LWD, SWD, strand thickness, and overall sheet dimensions up to 3.4m in width.

Q: How is the surface treatment applied to the mesh?

Depending on your needs, we use various methods including PVC dipping, hot-dip galvanizing, anodizing for aluminum, and powder coating or PVDF spraying for specific color requirements.
