Stainless Steel Expanded Metal Mesh

Stainless Steel Expanded Metal Mesh – Corrosion-Resistant and High-Strength Mesh Solution

Stainless Steel Expanded Metal Mesh is a durable, non-slip mesh formed by slitting and stretching stainless steel sheets into diamond or hexagonal patterns. Commonly used for filtration, ventilation, walkways, and protective enclosures, it offers excellent strength, corrosion resistance, and airflow. Classified by strand width, thickness, and opening size, Stainless Steel Expanded Metal Mesh is widely applied in architectural facades, industrial platforms, machine guards, and screening systems across construction, chemical, and food processing industries.

We are a professional manufacturer of Stainless Steel Expanded Metal Mesh, offering premium mesh solutions designed for use in industrial, architectural, and filtration applications. Manufactured by slitting and stretching stainless steel sheets, our Stainless Steel Expanded Metal Mesh forms durable diamond or custom openings without wasting material. It provides superior corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and long-term performance in challenging environments.

Material Grades and Surface Options

Our Stainless Steel Expanded Metal Mesh is available in top-grade stainless steel materials including SS201, SS304, SS304L, SS316, and SS316L. These materials are selected for their resistance to rust, acids, alkalis, and high-temperature conditions. Surface finishes are available in standard mill finish, flattened type, or coated options based on application needs.

Thickness and Strand Width Range

We manufacture Stainless Steel Expanded Metal Mesh in a wide range of thicknesses and strand widths to meet varying structural and filtration requirements:

Thickness: From 0.3 mm to 8.0 mm

Strand width: From 0.3 mm to 8.0 mm

Strand type: Standard, reinforced, or customized

These specifications are ideal for both lightweight decorative uses and heavy-duty structural applications.

Opening Types and Mesh Patterns

Our Stainless Steel Expanded Metal Mesh is available in various opening styles and classifications:

Standard diamond (raised)

Flattened mesh (smooth surface)

Micron and micro expanded mesh for fine filtration

Heavy tortoise-shell pattern for reinforced loading

Architectural or custom-shaped mesh for decorative uses

Standard opening sizes include:

  • SWD × LWD (Short Way of Diamond × Long Way of Diamond):
    2×3 mm, 3×5 mm, 5×10 mm, 10×20 mm, 16×30 mm, 25×50 mm, 40×80 mm, 50×100 mm

Panel and Roll Dimensions

Our Stainless Steel Expanded Metal Mesh is supplied in sheets or rolls to meet various installation requirements:

Sheet width: 0.5 m to 2.7 m

Sheet length: 1.0 m to 3.6 m

Custom sizes: Available upon request for OEM or project-specific needs

These dimensions make the mesh suitable for use in enclosures, platforms, filtration, and screening systems.

Architectural and Industrial Applications

Stainless Steel Expanded Metal Mesh is widely applied in both functional and decorative applications:

Architecture: Building cladding, sunscreens, ceiling panels, and modern facades

Industry: Filtration sheets, screening panels, battery mesh, machine guards, and ventilation covers

Infrastructure: Anti-slip walkways, stair treads, catwalks, and security fencing

Food and chemical sectors: Filters, strainers, and protective screens in high-hygiene environments

Its strength, ventilation, and anti-corrosive properties make it an ideal alternative to perforated sheets or welded mesh.
