Materials

Niles is capable of working with a variety of different materials. Some of these materials include Stainless Steel, Aluminum, Carbon Steel, and more. Here are examples of the most popular materials we use.

Experf perforated metals are available in copper material, which is ideal for all types of structures. It is a soft, malleable, and ductile material that is well suited for indoor and outdoor applications. Although copper develops a natural patina from oxidation, the material is environmentally friendly and 100% recyclable.

Cupro-Nickel is an alternative material for perforated metals as it maintains excellent formability, especially in marine and industrial industries. The inclusion of iron and manganese allow for increased strengthening potential with resistance to corrosion and stress cracking. It is ideal for any type of water related appliances.

Titanium is a perfect alternative for perforated metals given its highest strength to weight ratio of any metallic element. Perforated titanium is nonmagnetic with low thermal and electrical properties. It also has the highest corrosion resistance in seawater and chlorine.

Nickel has excellent formability and high ductility for perforated metals. Additionally, it has thermal and electric conductivity. Its long-life span makes it corrosion resistant and allows for consistent flow of liquids, gases, light, and heat.

Weathering steel is excellent for perforated metals because it does not require a paint coating. The stable rust-like appearance allows perforated metals to last longer in various weather conditions. It is also effectively resistant against corrosive effects of rain, snow, ice and fog.

Perforated Metal

Experf® is intelligently designed and manufactured to replicate the circular pattern of perforated metal, but without the added cost associated with process waste. Our innovative manufacturing process expands the metal from solid sheet form rather than punching individual holes, thereby yielding a more cost-effective product. Experf® meshes are interchangeable with perforated equivalents in multiple applications and offer comparable strength, open area, acoustic and filtration properties. Experf® mesh can be produced from Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Carbon and most any ductile material. Product quality is assured to ISO 9001 standards.

There are many applications for Experf® perforated metal products including acoustics, automobile & speaker grilles; air intake screens, filtration & straining; ceilings, facades, fencing & gates; lightning, room dividers & security screens; outdoor furniture & transportation shelters; and enclosures, trade show booths, store fixtures & displays.

Perforated Metal

Experf® meshes provide our customers with a wide variety of features and benefits as a replacement for traditional perforated metal options.

Experf® replicates the circular pattern of perforated metal by expanding rather than perforating it, resulting in a waste-free and better value product. It also gives the mesh an excellent strength to weight ratio, and it won’t ravel under normal circumstances. Experf® mesh is available in a growing number of 2D and 3D patterns and can also be custom-made to meet your specifications. We produce one-piece mesh in both sheet and coil providing a highly versatile product for shaping, cutting, and cylindrical or tube forming. Strands and bonds of the mesh shapes add strength and rigidity and allow for passage of light, air, water, and sound. Our popular items are in stock and available for immediate JIT delivery.

Perforated Metal

The wide variety of finishing options available in our Experf® product line provides our customers with solutions to best meet their needs. Experf® products are available in multiple metal types including brass, bronze, copper, nickel, titanium, zinc, galvanized, precious metals and most ferrous or non-ferrous material. Experf® designs have hole diameters ranging from .110”-.475” while the open areas range from 36% to 70%. This multi-purpose product is available in both flat and the standard (raised) forms. Experf® meshes can be finished in HDG, Paint, Powder Coating and more.

With the significant cost advantages, benefits, and applications that Experf has to offer, Experf is the new and improved perforated metal option. Contact us to learn more about Experf and how it can be used in your application.
