Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What is the difference between expanded metal and wire mesh?
A: Expanded metal is made by cutting and stretching a solid metal sheet, creating a diamond pattern without welding. Wire mesh is woven from individual wires. Expanded metal has no joints, making it stronger and more rigid for certain applications. -
Q: Can this aluminum mesh be used outdoors?
A: Yes, aluminum naturally resists corrosion, making it suitable for outdoor use. For added protection in harsh environments, we recommend anodizing or powder coating. -
Q: Is the mesh size 6x12mm measured as opening or center-to-center?
A: The mesh size refers to the clear opening dimensions (long side x short side) of the diamond. The center-to-center measurement will be slightly larger due to the wire thickness. -
Q: What is the typical lead time for this product?
A: For standard sizes, we usually ship within 7–15 working days after order confirmation. Custom sizes may require 15–20 working days. -
Q: Can you provide samples? How to order?
A: Yes, we offer free samples (buyer pays shipping) for quality evaluation. Please contact our sales team with your requirements and delivery address. -
Q: What is the maximum sheet size you can produce?
A: Our standard maximum is 1220x2440mm, but we can produce custom sizes up to 2000x4000mm (subject to tooling). Please inquire for non-standard dimensions. -
Q: Is this mesh suitable for security screens?
A: Yes, the 1.0mm wire diameter provides good strength for security applications such as window guards, door screens, and machine enclosures. For higher security, we recommend thicker wire diameters. -
Q: How do you pack the sheets for export?
A: We pack the sheets in bundles with plastic film and wooden pallets, then secure them with steel straps to prevent shifting during transport.
