Through the use of durability, ventilation, and visual appeal, our featured projects illustrate how aluminium expanded metal mesh can be used in architecture to complement commercial, residential, public, and hospitality projects.

Why Sustainable Aluminium
Matters in Expanded Metal Mesh

By minimizing resource use and offering long-lasting and effective, visually appealing expanded metal mesh solutions, sustainable aluminium contributes to eco-friendly construction methods.

Environmental
Impact

The use of lightweight aluminium material allows for reduced transportation energy, thus contributing to lower carbon emissions and more efficient construction and project delivery.

Recycling
& Circularity

Aluminium is fully recyclable, without material losses, and is helping to achieve the circular economy objectives, thereby lowering the demand for resources in the long term.

Longevity & Performance

Products offer great corrosion resistance and structural stability, which will ensure the product lasts longer, requires lower maintenance, and has less replacement frequency over time.

Sustainability Compliance

The addition of expanded metal mesh can help to meet sustainability goals and help create an environmentally responsible project outcome that is part of green building projects.

Applications

The aluminium expanded metal mesh is versatile and highly durable, providing ventilation, security, and modern appeal to suit a variety of project needs, making it a popular choice in both architectural and industrial applications.

Architectural
Facades

In modern buildings, expanded metal mesh offers a striking effect for facades, ensuring airflow, solar shade protection.

Ceiling
Systems

In the interior of a commercial building, lightweight mesh panels offer ventilation, access, and modern design for ceilings.

Sunshade
Screens

The expanded aluminium mesh improves solar heat gain, glare reduction, and provides natural ventilation and exterior aesthetics.

Privacy
Screens

Architectural mesh screens can be used for residential and commercial applications that demand privacy but do not obstruct views.

Balustrades and
Railings

Balconies, stairways, walkways, and elevated public areas use durable expanded metal mesh for added safety and aesthetics.

Parking Garage
Cladding

The mesh cladding enhances ventilation and security and forms contemporary facades for multi-level parking facilities and structures.

Interior
Partitions

Expanded metal mesh partitions create a space that allows light and air to flow through with modern interior design.

Equipment
Enclosures

Facilities use protective mesh enclosures to keep mechanical equipment protected while providing airflow, visibility, and easy maintenance access.

Customization Options for Aluminium Expanded Metal

Aluminium expanded metal is completely customisable to suit the needs of the architectural and industrial design project, with flexibility in design control over patterns, dimensions, finishes, and fabrication details.

Pattern and Opening Design – Clients can choose from a custom selection of diamond, hexagonal, or decorative patterns, varying opening size, strand width, and geometry to create the look and function they desire.

Material Thickness Options – A range of different thicknesses of aluminium sheet is available, with which to control the strength, weight, durability, and structural attributes of interior and exterior architectural applications.

Surface Finish Selection – A range of finishing options, including powder coating, anodising, and PVDF coating, offers corrosion resistance, colour options, and improved aesthetics for architectural applications.

Fabrication and Sizing – Panels can be cut, bent, framed, and dimensioned exactly according to the project drawings, thus allowing for smooth installation and compatibility with complex architectural systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between expanded metal and perforated metal?

A: Perforated metal is produced by drilling holes into sheets of metal, while expanded metal is made by slitting and stretching the metal to create openings, but not removing any material.

Q: Can aluminium expanded metal be used outdoors?

A: Yes,aluminium expanded metal is suitable for outdoor use because of its corrosion resistance, particularly when used with a corrosion protection finish like powder or anodising to make it more weatherproof and durable.

Q: What factors affect pricing of expanded metal mesh?

A: The price varies depending on the grade of the material, thickness of the sheet, complexity of the mesh pattern, surface finish, quantity of orders, and the need to cut or bend the material to the specific requirements for framing or site installation.

Q: Is expanded metal mesh suitable for load-bearing applications?

A: Some expanded metal products will tolerate moderate loads, but it is not appropriate for every application due to the thickness of the metal, strand width, and engineering design needs of the project.

Q: How is expanded metal mesh installed?

A: The method of installation varies depending on design requirements, structural conditions, and whether panels are installed on the facade, ceiling, or for screening, and may be by means of framing systems, mechanical fastenings or concealed fixing.

Q: Can mesh patterns be customised for design projects?

A: Yes, for certain projects, the width of strands, the size of openings, the thickness of the mesh and the overall geometry of the pattern can be adjusted to fit in with the architectural considerations and functional performance requirements.

Q: What surface finishes are available for aluminium expanded metal mesh?

A: Typical finishes are powder coating, anodising, and PVDF coating, and provide corrosion, UV, and wear protection whilst meeting the colour, texture, and aesthetic design needs of the architect.

Q: What are the typical lead times for production?

A: The lead time is dependent upon the complexity of the projects, customisation, quantity of orders, etc., but generally the process takes between two and five weeks, including the fabrication, finishing, quality checking and packaging process.
