Uses for Expanded Metal Products

The industrial designer, architect or engineer in today's marketplace must not only be concerned with the mechanical requirements in design but also the necessity of producing an aesthetically pleasing project. Architectural expanded metal mesh provides a solution to those concerns.

Architectural mesh, like standard expanded metal, is a self-contained piece of metal that won't unravel, thus retaining its shape after years of constant use. Some properties of architectural expanded metal mesh are light weight, strength, rigidity, free passage of air, light, heat, sound and adaptability to finishing processes while being a green product.

Ribbon Mesh

Ribbon Mesh is an architectural expanded metal with solid bands of ribbon-like contoured shapes built into a metal sheet. It offers architects and designers a new expanded metal mesh product that has ideal functionality and attractive aesthetic solutions to technical building issues.

Experf™ - The Ex-Perforated Metal

A new series of expanded meshes designed to replicate the circular patterns of perforated metals while offering a significant cost savings.

Experf™ (round pattern) is interchangeable with perforated equivalents in multiple applications, offering comparable strength, open area, acoustic and filtration properties.
