Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What is the difference between expanded metal and perforated metal?
A: Expanded metal is made by simultaneously slitting and stretching a solid sheet, creating diamond-shaped openings without waste. Perforated metal is punched, which removes material. Expanded metal is generally stronger for its weight and does not have sharp edges like perforated metal. -
Q: Can I use this aluminum mesh outdoors?
A: Yes, aluminum is naturally corrosion-resistant and suitable for outdoor use. For extended life in harsh coastal or industrial environments, we recommend an anodized or powder-coated finish. -
Q: How do I cut the expanded metal to size?
A: It can be cut with tin snips, angle grinders with a metal cutting disc, or a jigsaw with a fine-tooth blade. We can also supply pre-cut panels to your dimensions. -
Q: What is the load-bearing capacity of this mesh?
A: As a lightweight security fencing, it is not designed for heavy structural loads. It can withstand typical impact and climb attempts, but for heavy-duty applications (e.g., vehicle barriers), we recommend heavier gauge steel expanded metal. -
Q: Is the mesh available in other colors?
A: Yes, besides the standard mill finish silver, we offer optional powder coating in various RAL colors, as well as anodized finishes (clear, bronze, black). Minimum order quantities may apply for custom colors. -
Q: How is the mesh packaged for shipping?
A: Panels are stacked flat on pallets and wrapped with protective materials to prevent scratches. Coils (if applicable) are strapped and wrapped. We ensure safe packaging for international freight. -
Q: What is the typical lead time?
A: For standard sizes and finishes, lead time is usually 7–15 days after order confirmation. Custom orders may take 15–25 days depending on volume and complexity. -
Q: Can I get a sample before placing a bulk order?
A: Absolutely. We provide samples (e.g., 200mm x 200mm) for a small fee plus shipping. The sample fee is refundable upon placing a full order. Please contact our sales team to arrange.
