Description
A major advantage of expanded is that the mesh is formed from
a single piece of material so the process is not wasteful and
therefore cost effective. The material is cut and stretched while
still leaving it attached at the knuckle. This allows it to retain
its shape when cut and cannot separate or fray. Often cutting to
shape is the only fabrication needed. It has excellent corrosion
resistance when suitably coated, and the uncut knuckles support
weight and withstand stress better than jointed welds or woven
materials.
Expanded metal sheet can be supplied in a variety of finishes,
thickness, raised or flattened. Flattened is smoother and does not
indent soft materials if this is a consideration but is not as
strong as the more robust raised mesh. Powder coating in your
choice of colour will enhance its aesthetic appearance and add to
its corrosion resistance as would plastic coating.
