Aluminium Expanded Metal Mesh is a lightweight and corrosion-resistant material manufactured from a solid sheet of aluminum that is simultaneously slit and stretched to form a uniform mesh of diamond-shaped openings. This process creates a single, seamless piece of material that is stronger than the original sheet, without any weaving or welding points. It combines the natural benefits of aluminum with the structural efficiency of expanded metal, resulting in a versatile product ideal for applications ranging from architectural design to industrial filtration.

Aluminium expanded metal is available in a wide range of sizes to suit various project requirements.

Sheet Thickness (Base Metal): Ranges from 0.3 mm to 6.0 mm (common range 0.5 mm - 3.0 mm).

Hole Size (Diamond Dimensions):

• Short Way of Diamond (SWD): 2 mm to 50 mm.

• Long Way of Diamond (LWD): 5 mm to 200 mm.

Standard Panel Sizes: Widths up to 2 meters and lengths up to 4 meters (custom sizes available upon request).

Strand Width: Varies from 0.5 mm to 8 mm depending on the base metal thickness.

Weight: Extremely lightweight, typically 1.5 kg/m² to 5 kg/m² depending on thickness and opening size.

Lightweight: Aluminum is approximately one-third the weight of steel, making it easy to handle, transport, and install, reducing structural load requirements.

Exceptional Corrosion Resistance: Naturally forms a protective oxide layer, making it highly resistant to rust and weathering without the need for additional coating.

High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Retains excellent structural rigidity while being significantly lighter than steel.

Non-Sparking and Non-Magnetic: Safe for use in hazardous environments and applications sensitive to magnetic interference.

Excellent Formability: Can be easily cut, bent, and shaped to fit complex designs and curved surfaces.

Aesthetic Appeal: Offers a bright, modern appearance with natural metallic luster. Can be anodized or painted for enhanced color and protection.

Excellent Conductivity: Provides good thermal and electrical conductivity for specific applications.

Thanks to its unique combination of properties, this mesh is widely used in:

Architecture & Design: Decorative facades, ceiling panels, sunscreens, room dividers, balustrades, and modern furniture.

Filtration & Ventilation: Air and liquid filters, ventilation grilles, speaker grilles, and insect screens.

Marine & Offshore: Walkways, platforms, and enclosures on boats and offshore platforms (utilizing 5xxx series alloys).

Transportation: Grilles for vehicles, aircraft components, lightweight cargo barriers.

Industrial Safety: Machine guards, safety enclosures, protective covers in food processing and chemical plants.

Signage & Displays: Backing for signs, display racks, and exhibition stands.

To ensure the product arrives in perfect condition, it is carefully packaged for export:

Standard: Packed in sturdy wooden pallets or seaworthy wooden crates (cases) to prevent movement and damage during transit.

Protection: Interleaved with protective paper or plastic film to prevent surface scratching. Wrapped with waterproof paper and plastic film for moisture protection.

Edge Protection: Corner boards and straps used to secure bundles and protect edges.

Loading: Containers are professionally loaded and cargo secured according to international shipping standards.

Lead Time: Typically shipped within 10-15 days after confirmation of payment.

Logistics: Shipped via sea (FCL/LCL), air, or land freight. Being lightweight, aluminum mesh is very cost-effective to transport.
