Extended Mesh Specifications
Extended mesh is a kind of mesh sheet made of iron plate in the form of many diamond or gem holes of a certain size, processed by incision and drawing, without any welding or metal casting.
Expanded mesh is generally made of SGCC galvanized plate, SPCC white plate, SPHC black plate or aluminum plate.
The functions and uses of the expanded metal plate are as follows:
1. To give an artistic and decorative touch to the interior design.
2. As a material for making iron fences, iron doors, trellises, trash cans, grills, and building partitions.
3. As a material for the manufacture of furniture.
Types of Expanded Metal
Expanded mesh has many varieties including the following:
1. Metalath
This type of expanded mesh has a thickness between 0.5 mm – 1 mm with hole sizes ranging from 6×12.5 mm - 10x21mm. Metalath is generally used as reinforcement for castings to replace wiremesh, air filters, baskets, engine guards, and others. In addition, this type of expanded mesh is also used for water and air duct filters. The reason, metalath has a fairly small hole.
2. Lightmesh
The next type of expanded mesh is lightmesh which has a small hole size. The existence of this type of expanded mesh is often used for the manufacture of household appliances, filters, office equipment such as pencil cases, mosquito nets, mini bicycle baskets, and so on. This lightmesh class has a thickness between 0.30 mm – 1 mm. For this type of choice, you can use expanded mesh forte.
3. Ornamesh
Expanded Orna mesh has a thickness between 1 mm – 3 mm with hole sizes ranging from 10×29 mm - 35x76mm. The advantage of ornamesh is that it is stronger than expanded lightmesh. Its application is usually used for security fences, engine covers, guardrails, partition security, wall panels, railings, ceilings and others.
4. Balustrademesh
Balustrademesh is a type of expanded mesh that has a material thickness of 3 mm with a diamond/diamond hole shape. Because it is made of black plate, expanded mesh is commonly used as fences, trellises, railings, and others.
5. Gridmesh
Gridmesh is a type of expanded mesh that has a thickness of 3 mm to 6 mm with a hole size of 25x75mm to 45x135mm. Therefore, this Gridmesh had excellent strength.
Gridmesh itself is an expanded mesh made of SPHC black plate so that it is widely used as ramps, walkways, catwalks, used in the mining and dock industries, and other types.
6. Merapi Mesh
Merapi mesh is a type of expanded mesh that has a thickness of 3mm to 5mm with hole sizes from 50x187.6mm to 100x200mm. Generally expanded mesh type is used for making fences.
7. Paramesh
Material This expanded mesh material is made of aluminum with a thickness of 0.3 mm - 0.8 mm. Its application is usually for mosquito wire, dish antenna wire, speaker grill, and so on.
