Galvanized Expanded Metal Mesh Sheet Diamond Mesh 0.5-5mm Thinkness For Fencing
Expanded Metal mesh is formed in an expanding press. The basic metal is simultaneously slit and cold-formed, which expands the slits into diamond shaped openings of uniform size and regularity. Expanded metal mesh is a form of metal stock made by shearing a metal plate in a press, so that the metal stretches, leaving diamond-shaped voids surrounded by interlinked bars of the metal. The most common method of manufacture is to simultaneously slit and stretch the material with one motion.

The Term Of Expanded Metal Mesh:
- SWD (Short Way of the Diamond) is the distance from the middle of the bond on one side to the middle of the bond on the opposite side.
- LWD (Long Way of the Diamond) is the distance across the largest dimension of the diamond measured halfway between the diamonds.
- SWO (Short Way of the Opening) is the width of the opening of the shortest side of the diamond. SWO does not include the strand width, where SWD (Short Way of the Diamond) does.
- LWO (Long Way of the Opening) is the length of the opening of the longest side of the diamond. LWO does not include the strand width, where LWD (Long Way of the Diamond) does.
- Strand and Bond Expanded metal is composed of strands and bonds. Strands form the sides of the expanded metal openings. Bonds are where the strands intersect. In other words, the bond is where each diamond shaped opening is connected with the next opening.
- Thickness is the measurement from the top surface to bottom surface of the expanded metal piece.
- Expanded metal Roll: that the specific length and width of the wound into the roll of steel mesh.
- Expanded metal sheet: The expanded metal that show specific length and width.
Expanded Metal Mesh Sheet Characteristics & Advantages :
- Filtration / Enclosure (allows free flow of light, heat, sound & air)
- Protection (will NOT unravel when cut, unlike woven wire)
- Reinforcement (act as formidable barrier when used in security applications)
- Fire resistant, vermin proof and provides anti-slip surface for ramps, catwalks and stair reads.
- High strength-to-weight ratio makes it technically applicable in many engineering and ornamental applications.
- Anti-corrosive when hot-dipped galvanized or powder-coated.
- Decoration (available in a variety of mesh configurations and decorative patterns)
- Good conductor to electricity, magnetic flux and heat through jointless continuity of materials.
- Good for electromagnetic screening and driveway heating.
