Versatile Expanded Wire Mesh Sheets Strong Lightweight and Easy to Install
Product Overview:
Expanded Wire Mesh, also known as expanded metal mesh, is produced by slitting and stretching metal sheets into uniform openings without material loss. This process creates a single-piece mesh structure that is stronger and more rigid than woven or welded wire alternatives. Expanded metal mesh offers strength, ventilation, and decorative appeal, making it ideal for a wide range of architectural, industrial, and security applications.

Manufacturing Process
Select raw material sheets of required thickness.
Slitting and stretching by precision dies to form expanded patterns.
Surface treatment (galvanizing, anodizing, powder coating, etc.) for corrosion resistance.
Cutting, bending, or framing to meet project dimensions.
Final inspection for uniform mesh opening, flatness, and coating quality.
Packaging & Delivery
Expanded wire mesh sheets are packed in steel pallets or wooden crates with protective film and waterproof wrapping. Each pallet is securely strapped to prevent movement during transportation. Typical lead time is 10–20 working days, depending on order size and customization.
