Why choose our Aluminum Expanded Metal Mesh? The unique diamond pattern provides excellent strength-to-weight ratio, making it suitable for applications where both airflow and durability are critical. Unlike perforated sheets, the expanded metal mesh has no loose waste during production, resulting in a more eco-friendly process. The mesh is also easy to weld, cut, or form, allowing for quick customization on-site. For ventilation systems, the 8x16mm diamond size ensures that large particles and debris are blocked while maintaining steady airflow – perfect for HVAC vents, exhaust fans, and industrial louvers.
Customer Benefits:
• Lightweight – Reduces structural load and shipping costs.
• Corrosion-resistant – Aluminum naturally resists rust, ideal for outdoor or high-humidity environments.
• Unobstructed airflow – High open area ensures efficient ventilation without clogging.
• Customizable – Available in different sizes, finishes, and even perforated patterns upon request.
• Cost-effective – Lower material cost compared to stainless steel, with similar performance for many applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: What is the actual open area of the 8x16mm diamond mesh?
A: The open area is approximately 55-60%, depending on the strand width. This provides excellent airflow while maintaining structural strength. -
Q: Can this mesh be used outdoors?
A: Yes, aluminum is naturally corrosion-resistant and suitable for outdoor use. For harsh coastal environments, we recommend an additional anodized or powder-coated finish for extra protection. -
Q: Do you offer custom sheet sizes or cut-to-length service?
A: Absolutely. We can produce sheets, coils, or cut pieces per your drawings. Minimum order quantities may apply for custom sizes. -
Q: What is the weight per square meter?
A: For 0.8mm thickness in aluminum alloy 1100, the weight is approximately 0.9 kg/m². Other alloys may vary slightly. -
Q: Can I weld or paint this mesh?
A: Yes, aluminum expanded metal can be welded using TIG or MIG welding with appropriate filler rods. Painting requires proper surface preparation (e.g., primer) to ensure adhesion. -
Q: What is the typical lead time for orders?
A: For standard sizes, we ship within 7-15 working days. Custom orders may take 15-25 working days depending on quantity and complexity. -
Q: Do you provide free samples?
A: Yes, we offer free samples (shipping cost may apply) for customers to evaluate the quality before placing a bulk order. -
Q: Is this mesh suitable for insect screens?
A: The 8x16mm diamond opening is larger than typical insect mesh, so it is more suitable for ventilation and protection against larger debris. For insect screening, we recommend smaller openings like 3x6mm or 4x8mm.
