Product Features

Benefits and features of Expanded Metal

  1. There are several benefits to using expanded metal:

  2. Cost-effective: A small quantity of metal can be stretched into a large piece.

  3. Efficient Process: There is very little waste when manufacturing and processing expanded metal mesh.

  4. Good conductor: Because expanded metal is one piece, it can be excellent conductor of electricity, magnetic flux, and heat.

  5. Protective reinforcement: Expanded metal meshes can be combined with glass, concrete, and other materials for added strength.

  6. High strength: Expanded metals support weight and withstands stress better than woven metals or jointed welds.

  7. Low weight: Expanded metals are lighter than traditional metal sheets.

  8. Allows circulation: Expanded metal allows air and light to move freely.

  9. Acoustic properties: Specially developed meshes can enhance acoustics and provide soundproofing.
