Expanded mesh and design
Expanded metal mesh is the perfect combination of an industrial-looking, durable and visually appealing product. It is manufactured to customer specifications and delivered on-site, which means you will always get a unique product that meets your needs.
The expanded mesh’s 3D surface and industrial touch make it a popular choice for durable solar protection, because of its shape it can hold the right amount of sunlight and keep the inside of your structure cool and with natural airflow.
Architectural mesh is also used as a means to ensure privacy. This means you can use it as an exterior façade for a building to allow natural air to enter while maintaining your internal privacy. Expanded metal mesh has been used in many interesting ways, both on building exteriors and in innovative art installations.

Expanded mesh and advantages
Expanded metal mesh has several properties that make it a versatile material that can be used in a wide variety of projects for different industries. These meshes are created by one-piece material, this means that the metal is molded and expanded so there is no waste.
They have a timeless design that adapts to any type of project and looks good no matter how time goes by, it can be customized with different finishes.
Being born from a metal plate that expands and molds, it becomes a lighter material. Other substrates can be combined to add strength and flexibility to increase the strength and security of the mesh.
The mesh expands to create a large format panel and offers greater coverage for the area to be coated, this helps to reduce costs in installation, material, etc. and avoids joints since the panel is created by a single piece of metal that expands.
