General Purpose Mesh

General purpose mesh, such as expanded metal mesh, starts life as a single sheet. The manufacturing process involves the simultaneous stretching and slitting of this sheet, producing the classic uniform pattern of diamond-shaped holes we see in the finished product.

Not only is this method environmentally friendly, as no metal is lost through expansion, it also gives expanded metal mesh the key attributes of high strength to weight ratio, anti-slip properties, aesthetic value, corrosion resistance and high conductivity.

When compared with other forms of mesh, such as woven or welded wire, expanded metal mesh has a very high strength to weight ratio.
