Welcome to Anping Xinye Metal Wire Mesh Products Co., Ltd, a trusted manufacturer based in Hengshui, Hebei, China. Our 3mm Thick Carbon Steel Expanded Metal with a 1.5" x 3" mesh and hot dipped galvanized finish is designed for demanding industrial applications. This 4x8ft expanded metal sheet combines strength, durability, and corrosion resistance, making it an ideal choice for heavy-duty fencing, walkways, platforms, and security barriers. With years of expertise in metal mesh production, we ensure consistent quality and reliable performance in every sheet.
Our expanded metal is manufactured from high-quality carbon steel, then expanded into a diamond pattern without cutting or welding, preserving the material's integrity. The 3mm thickness provides exceptional load-bearing capacity, while the 1.5" x 3" mesh opening offers a balance of visibility and security. Each sheet undergoes a rigorous hot-dipped galvanizing process, creating a protective zinc coating that withstands harsh environments. Whether for industrial, commercial, or agricultural use, this product delivers long-lasting service.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: What is the difference between expanded metal and perforated metal?
A: Expanded metal is made by slitting and stretching a solid sheet, creating a diamond pattern with no material loss. Perforated metal is punched with holes, leaving waste. Expanded metal is generally stronger and lighter for the same thickness. -
Q: Can this product be used outdoors?
A: Yes, the hot-dipped galvanized coating provides excellent corrosion resistance for outdoor use, even in harsh weather conditions. -
Q: What is the weight per sheet?
A: A standard 4x8 ft sheet of 3mm thick expanded metal weighs approximately 45 kg (99 lbs). Exact weight may vary slightly depending on the steel grade and galvanizing thickness. -
Q: Can I get smaller sheets or custom sizes?
A: Absolutely. We offer custom cutting and shearing services for non-standard dimensions. Please contact us with your requirements. -
Q: How do I install expanded metal for walkways?
A: Typically, the sheets are cut to size and welded or bolted to a supporting frame. We recommend using galvanized fasteners to maintain corrosion resistance. Safety edges should be considered. -
Q: Is the mesh opening measured from the center or edge?
A: The 1.5" x 3" refers to the clear opening size (short way and long way) of the diamond. The overall material width includes the strands. -
Q: Does the galvanized coating have a smooth finish?
A: Hot-dipped galvanizing leaves a slightly rough, matte finish with spangles. This is normal and provides excellent adhesion for paint if needed. -
Q: What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: For standard sizes, our MOQ is 10 sheets. For custom orders, please inquire. We can accommodate small trial orders for new customers.
