Expanded Metal Mesh is manufactured by stretching a single metal sheet into a uniform diamond-shaped pattern without welding or waste.
Compared with welded or perforated metal, it offers higher strength-to-weight ratio, better airflow, and lower production cost, making it ideal for industrial, architectural, and filtration applications.
| Material | Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel (304, 316L), Aluminum, Galvanized |

| Surface Treatment | Pre-Galvanized, Hot-Dipped Galvanized, Anodized, Powder Coated (RAL Colors), PVC Dipped. |
| Open Area | Up to 80% (Varies by mesh pattern). |
| Tensile Strength | Up to 827 MPa (Stainless Steel); Up to 300 MPa (Aluminum Alloy). |
Stretch mesh is made from a single piece of metal, without joints or welds, resulting in high load-bearing capacity and a longer service life.
Compared to welded mesh, structural integrity is increased by 15%–30% under the same thickness conditions.
Superior Airflow and ApertureThe diamond-shaped opening design provides exceptionally high openness (typically 50%–80%), resulting in better ventilation, reduced airflow resistance, and highly efficient filtration.
Widely used in HVAC systems, mechanical safety devices, and the filtration industry.
Lightweight but DurableStretch mesh maintains strength while reducing material usage, facilitating transportation, lowering installation costs, and reducing structural load.
Compared to solid panels, it can reduce weight by 30%–60%.
Anti-slip surface (raised type)The raised type expanded metal mesh surface has a natural texture.
Improves walkway safety; suitable for platforms and stairs.
Cost-effective productionThere is no material waste during the production process; material utilization is close to 100%, unlike perforated metal mesh which generates waste.
Low raw material costs allow for more favorable prices for bulk buyers.
