Industrial applications of our expanded metal mesh

We regularly supply our extensive range of expanded metal mesh products to engineering companies and fabricators for the manufacture of multiple products and for use in many industrial applications.

Expanded metal is such a versatile product, which is why it’s found in everything from BBQ grills, cars and fences to architectural cladding. And we supply it in a range of mesh designs, sizes and materials including stainless steel, aluminium and nickel. This enables our customers the flexibility to create products bespoke to their needs.  

Here are some typical examples…

Walkways and ramps

Our rigidly tested walkway and ramp metal mesh offer structural strength combined with superb grip and anti-slip properties. This makes them ideal for use in a wide range of internal and external environments, from fire escapes and footbridges to disabled ramps, viewing platforms and car transporter ramps.

Gabion baskets

As expanded metal is manufactured from one sheet of material, there is nothing that can work loose or unravel, which is an important requirement for gabion baskets.

As gabion baskets are often used within retaining walls and for the stabilisation of earth movement and erosion as well as river control, the inherent strength and the anti-corrosive properties of metal mesh are added benefits of its use for gabion baskets.

Explore our range of raised steel mesh, which are ideal for the manufacture of gabion baskets. And see how we blend high quality material with a robust mesh design.

Machine guards

Expanded metal mesh panels make for an advantageous solution for machine guards. Available in a range of materials including aluminium and stainless steel as well as flattened or raised mesh, our panels can be used to increase the protection and security of equipment.

And as we can supply our mesh panels in a range of RAL colours and in a wide variety of mesh patterns, as well as bespoke, it can provide a more aesthetically appealing solution to disguise power, heating and air condition equipment.

We have also developed a range of secure modular cages that can be used as machine guards as well as providing protection to waste or recycling areas or secure storage of high value construction materials.

Further inspiration for applications of metal mesh

Our flattened aluminium mesh provides a cost effective, lightweight yet robust solution for greenhouse staging. As our rot-proof mesh allows good airflow and reduces the opportunity for mould to spread. And as we’ve mentioned the high durability and the aesthetics of our flattened aluminium mesh make it highly suitable for the manufacture of snow guards, which are used to dissipate the build-up of snow and ice on rooftops.
