Mesh geometries of expanded metal
Expanded metal does not always look the same.
On the contrary.
Due to the wide variety of mesh sizes, materials and processing methods, countless unique products can be manufactured.
For a better overview, expanded metal is not only divided into mesh sizes, but also into mesh shapes.
Expanded metal mesh with diamond mesh
Expanded metal with diamond-shaped mesh is the most commonly used type of expanded metal. A major advantage of the diamond-shaped mesh form of expanded metal is that it offers better stability and strength compared to other forms such as square or rectangular meshes. The diamond-shaped mesh allows the expanded metal to absorb a greater load and be more resistant to bending and torsional forces.
The diamond-shaped mesh also has the advantage of allowing air and light to pass through. This enables better ventilation and visibility, e.g. in applications such as fences or grilles.l
Another advantage of the diamond-shaped mesh form is that it can have an aesthetic effect.
The diamond-shaped mesh gives the expanded metal an appealing and elegant look that is appreciated in various applications such as architecture, interior design or furniture.
Expanded metal mesh with Experf mesh
The mesh shape of an Experf mesh resembles a round hole. Up to a thickness of 3.0 mm, we can roll almost all expanded metal flat, resulting in a product that is as flat as a perforated sheet.
Expanded metal is often regarded as the cheaper and more sustainable perforated sheet.
It can beproduced without material loss and thus makes optimum use of the available primary materials.
Expanded metal also offers greater stability and load-bearing capacity than perforated sheeting.
Expanded metal mesh with square mesh
The square mesh of the expanded metal allows good permeability to air, light and liquids, while at the same time ensuring a certain stability and strength.
The size of the square mesh can vary depending on requirements and can be adapted to specific needs, making the expanded metal suitable for a variety of purposes.
As a rule, expanded metal is rolled flat in square mesh, resulting in a large free cross-section with comparatively small mesh openings.
These products are kept in stock in numerous dimensions.
Expanded metal mesh with long bar mesh
The long stitch stands out clearly due to its special look.
Thanks to its wide web, this type of expanded metal is particularly suitable as privacy or sun protection, but can also be used as a security fence or as a special design feature on house façades. design object on house facades be used.
Thanks to the long web, the expanded metal also has a high stability and load-bearing capacity.
This makes it particularly suitable for applications where a high load-bearing capacity is required, such as floors, platforms or as railing infill.
In addition, expanded metal with a long bar can be manufactured in various materials such as stainless steel, aluminium or galvanised steel, which ensures high corrosion resistance and durability.
