Expanded Metal Mesh for Safety Fencing and Industrial Applications
Manufacturing Method
Expanded metal mesh is created by cutting and stretching metal sheets into interconnected strands. Unlike woven wire or welded mesh, expanded metal mesh maintains its strength and integrity without any need for welding or additional bonding. The process involves slitting the metal sheet into narrow strips and stretching it to create uniform diamond or hexagonal openings. This results in a strong, lightweight mesh that can withstand high loads while remaining cost-effective.
Expanded metal mesh is suitable for a variety of applications ranging from security barriers and fencing to structural reinforcement in construction. It is available in multiple metal types, such as mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, each selected based on the intended use and environment.
Advantages
Expanded metal mesh offers several advantages over traditional welded or woven mesh, such as:
Strength-to-Weight Ratio: The mesh is incredibly strong relative to its weight, making it ideal for structural reinforcement without adding unnecessary weight.
High Load-Bearing Capacity: Due to its continuous structure, the mesh can support heavy loads and distribute stress evenly across the surface.
Durability: The mesh is resistant to corrosion, rust, and wear, especially when treated with galvanized or powder-coated finishes.
Cost-Effective: The production method results in minimal material waste, reducing overall costs.
Typical Applications
Expanded metal mesh is commonly used in:
Security Fencing: Provides a physical barrier against unauthorized access and acts as a deterrent.
Walkways & Platforms: Used in industrial and commercial buildings for creating safe walkways and working platforms.
Ventilation Systems: Its open structure allows air and light to pass through while providing strength and security.
Protective Screens: Ideal for creating protective barriers around equipment and machinery.
