Expanded Mesh

Expanded metal mesh

Expanded metals are manufactured in mild steel, Aluminium,  3CR12, 304 stainless steel, brass, copper and a galvanised material. Expanded metals can be cut to size to eliminate  wastage, or supplied as standard panels.

Flattened expanded mesh is “cold rolled” to flatten after the mesh has been expanded. Up to 20% of thickness can be lost in the rolling process.
