Aluminum Expanded Metal

Picture
Aluminum Expanded Metal is one of the strongest materials in the world, but it can sometimes be too heavy for some applications. Thankfully, there are metal meshes that lighten the load and can be used for multiple applications. Aluminum expanded metal mesh offers open areas that make it more versatile than some other metal sheets.

What Is Expanded Metal Mesh?
Aluminum expanded metal mesh is made from a single sheet of aluminum. The plate of aluminum is carefully punched or slit to form a uniform pattern. The sheet of aluminum is then stretched, creating shaped openings.
By stretching the metal plate, the mesh sheet becomes stronger and much more rigid. This process ensures the metal mesh can be used in many more applications than an untreated aluminum sheet.
Benefits of Expanded Metal Mesh

There are multiple benefits to expanded metal mesh. Understanding these benefits allows for greater knowledge on how these mesh sheets can be used.
  • Compared to perforated metal sheets, expanded metal mesh is much more cost-effective, helping individuals and companies save money.
  • Multiple patterns can be chosen, depending on the needs of the application.
  • The strength to weight ratio makes expanded metal mesh an ideal metal for use in many applications. It is incredibly strong but offers a lightweight feel.
  • Because expanded sheets allow for the passage of air, light, and sound, they are much more versatile than other types of metal sheeting.

There are Many Style Options
Aluminum expanded metal sheets are available in many styles. Being aware of the different styles helps individuals and businesses make the right choice for their application needs.
Expanded metal sheets are available in the following styles, and there are also customization options available.

  • These sheets are available in a standard rhombus pattern.
  • Individuals can also purchase these sheets in micro-mesh.
  • Expanded metal sheets are also available in diamond patterns.
  • There are also heavily raised metal sheets available.

Expanded Metal Sheets Offer Many Uses
With its special properties, expanded metal sheets can be used in a multitude of ways. Understanding the many ways these metal sheets are used will help individuals and businesses apply them in innovative ways.

  • These sheets can be used for wall and ceiling applications.
  • They can be put in place for fire stairwells.
  • Expanded metal sheets can also be used for fence applications.
  • These sheets can even be used to create metallic furniture or containers.
  • There are many more options.

Conclusion
The possibilities are practically limitless when it comes to the application of expanded metal mesh. It is crafted from a single sheet and offers an anti-slip surface that is ideal for both home and industry applications.
Expanded metal mesh can also be coated with paint, anodized coatings, PVC coatings, and more. Coatings are applied depending on the application’s needs.
​
Expanded metal is an innovative product that reduces waste and allows for many applications. There are even custom options that can further increase the usability of these sheets. No matter the application, individuals can expect these sheets to remain durable and strong for many years to come.
