The mesh is formed from a single piece of metal |
| Which means, that there is nothing to work loose, no fretting strands or strained joins or welds. This makes expanded mesh ideal for forming and beneficial to further processing such as pressing and shearing.The strength of mesh makes it valuable for use in multiple components. |
|
The process is not wasteful of material |
| This gives you cost savings, especially compared to other metal processing methods. For example, when perforating metals, all of the holes you see are wasted and must be paid for by you. Expanding metals is a traditional method, which complies with modern green engineering standards. |
|
Higher strength-to-weight ratio than sheet metal |
| Hard to believe but tested and true. By expanding metal from its solid sheet form additional strength is added. This makes mesh ideal for catwalks, ramps, walkways, platformsThe uncut knuckles of expanded mesh withstand stress better than welds or joints. |
|
Antislip surface |
| The knuckles formed by expanding mesh give sound grip underfoot for stair treads, ramps and walkways. We have also developed a range of specific anti-slip walkway meshes.The grip provided by mesh also gives multipoint contact for drying racks. |
|
Excludes and retains simultaneously |
| Excellent for grain retention and other similar perishable products, allowing circulation of air but keeping vermin out. |
|
Premium Reinforcement Properties |
| Mesh acts as a barrier for security and storage. Our Securilath range prevents illegal access through walls and partitions whilst strengthening the area it covers. See our Securilath range for more details. |
|
Practical and effective screening |
| Taking a sample of mesh, and looking through it at various angles best illustrates the visual properties of expanded metal meshes. Wide strand meshes are used in architectural solar screens on the exterior of buildings and throughout interiors for decorative grilles. |
