Expanded Metal Mesh

Expanded metal is a versatile, high-strength material that has gained widespread use across various industries. It starts as a solid sheet of metal that is slit and stretched to create a distinctive diamond mesh pattern. This process does not waste any material, meaning that no metal is lost, and the result is a lighter and stronger mesh compared to its original sheet form. At Meshstore, we offer a wide range of expanded metal sheets, ideal for uses in everything from security fencing to industrial applications.

Whether you need expanded metal for outdoor screens, security fencing, or as a walkway mesh compliant with AS 1657, our products are designed to meet the highest standards. With options available in multiple sizes, strengths, and configurations, there’s an expanded metal solution for every requirement.

One of the primary reasons for the widespread use of expanded metal is its versatility. The distinctive diamond-shaped pattern provides excellent strength while allowing for a high open area. This makes expanded metal ideal for applications where durability and open space are both important.

Expanded metal is commonly used in security fencing to ensure a robust and reliable barrier. Its mesh design ensures that it remains strong yet allows air and light to pass through, reducing wind resistance. For outdoor screens, the lightweight yet strong nature of expanded metal makes it a perfect solution, especially when high levels of visibility and strength are required.

The advantages of expanded metal are clear. First and foremost, its strength-to-weight ratio makes it highly efficient. Because the metal is stretched rather than punched or cut, it retains its integrity while being lighter than traditional solid metal sheets. This makes expanded metal a cost-effective solution for many projects.


Another notable benefit is its low maintenance. Unlike welded mesh, expanded metal doesn't require the additional steps of welding or joining individual strands, making it more cost-effective in the long run. This simplicity also leads to enhanced durability as there are fewer points of failure. The expanded metal's ability to resist corrosion, particularly when galvanised, further extends its lifespan, making it ideal for outdoor use in all weather conditions.

Meshstore offers a broad selection of expanded metal sheets, with different mesh sizes and strengths to suit a variety of applications. Some of the key features of our expanded metal collection include:

 

  • High Strength: With its unique manufacturing process, expanded metal is incredibly strong while maintaining a light weight.
  • Versatility: Whether for security barriers, walkways, or outdoor screens, the applications of expanded metal are vast and varied.
  • Open Area Design: The open design of expanded metal allows airflow and visibility, making it suitable for both functional and aesthetic uses.
  • Durability: The material is designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, offering long-lasting performance with minimal upkeep.
