Quality and Production

High materials level

The correct material is crucial. The ideal metal is relatively soft. High-tensile materials, such as some forms of stainless steel and titanium, are suitable to only a limited extent. The differing characteristics of the metals play an important role in the choice of material for your project.

Advantages

The mesh is formed from a single piece of metal. This means that there is nothing to work loose, no fretting strands or strained joins or welds. This makes expanded metal mesh ideal for forming and advantageous for further processing such as flat-rolling and cutting. The stability of the mesh makes it the perfect choice of material in numerous components.

Manufacturing Technology

The metal is inserted on coils or in the form of plates into the rear of the machine.
Each machine is fitted with a special blade which defines the mesh width.
The machines are programmed with the necessary parameters and manually controlled by our qualified employees.
During the elongation process the raw metal sheet is reformed through systematic slitting and predefined stretching. The metal is either formed into rolls or cut to defined sizes.

A world of possibilities

Our products offer you unlimited possibilities. However you may imagine your expanded metal, we definitely have the right products for you and are open to your ideas. Whether for home or business room fixtures, handrails, machine components, façades or noise/privacy protection; Sorst products combine aesthetic with design.
