Expanded metal mesh sizes

Micromesh expanded metal

Micromesh covers the range of the smallest mesh lengths. This refers to meshes between 0.5 mm and 6.0 mm in length. Micromesh has many advantages: Among other things, it offers high dimensional stability, especially at the edges. Nevertheless, it is malleable and, like all expanded metal, economically efficient. High free cross-sections with a homogeneous surface can also be achieved with the Micromesh. Fraying at the edges can be ruled out. In many cases, Micromesh can be used as an alternative to metal mesh and perforated sheeting.

Micromesh is suitable for many areas of application:

Fine-meshed expanded metal

Fine mesh covers the range from a mesh length of 6.0 mm to 22.0 mm. The fine mesh also has good formability, as the mesh can be bent, refined or deep-drawn, for example. The fine mesh can be used for a wide range of applications, both with a structured, three-dimensional surface and flat-rolled. Here, too, the good economic efficiency and the high achievable free cross-sections are an advantage.

Expanded metal with fine mesh is particularly suitable for the following applications:

Center mesh expanded metal

Expanded metal in the “center mesh” size covers the range with a mesh length of 23.00 mm to 61.0 mm. Expanded metal in these mesh ranges can be found in almost all areas of our daily lives. Here too, high free cross-sections can be achieved with great economy. Due to their high dimensional stability, the grilles can be cut to size as required.

Both three-dimensional and flat-rolled expanded metal is used in the “center mesh” size range in the following areas:

  • Ceiling cladding
  • Railing and balcony fillings
  • Grille cladding
  • Household appliances and household goods
  • Gratings and shelves for metal pallets
  • Ventilation systems
  • Trade fair and store fitting
  • Furniture and street furniture
  • Fences

Large mesh expanded metal

Large mesh expanded metal covers the area with a mesh length from 62.00 mm. Here too, the greatest advantages are the high dimensional stability and the fundamental advantages of expanded metal, the high level of economy and the high free cross-section.

Expanded metal with large meshes is mainly used in the following areas:

  • Architecture, for example as a façade or sun protection
  • Fall arrest protection
  • Wood drying
  • Industrial baskets
  • Gratings and shelves for metal pallets
  • Trade fair and store fitting
  • Furniture and street furniture
  • Fences

The size of expanded metal meshes is usually specified in millimeters (mm). In our warehouse we have expanded metal with many standard mesh sizes in stock. On request, we can also produce special mesh sizes according to your individual requirements.
