About products and suppliers

Metal mesh is a new material made of alloy materials, which has the flexibility of fabric. At Alibaba.com, there are many types of excellent metal meshes for sale, and they are perfect for those who need them.

The Materials and Features of Metal Meshes

Metal mesh materials are generally made of weather-resistant aluminum alloy, stainless steel, and copper wire mesh. They are commonly used in construction projects for protective nets, walls, fences, etc. Through the inspiration of designers, metal mesh materials are widely used in the field of indoor landscape art installations. In the field of interior design, metal mesh materials are more selective and widely used and can be used as maintenance partitions, stair railings, decorative materials, furniture materials, etc.

The material used for expanded metal mesh is high-strength steel wire, which has good tensile strength and corrosion resistance and is suitable for fixing and protecting heavy-duty items. The material used for metal wire mesh is ordinary black iron wire, which has relatively weak strength and corrosion resistance and is suitable for fixing and screening some lightweight items. In architecture, transparency and aesthetics effectively regulate the comfort of light and heat, forming effective ventilation on the exterior walls and preventing the accumulation of hot air for a long time. It is a material that can be used as a diffuse light reflection facility, shading facility, safety protection, anti-bird and mosquito prevention, and transparent ventilation.

The Types of Metal Meshes

Metal mesh materials are divided into three categories in terms of processing. Woven wire mesh: a metal mesh or curtain made by weaving metal wires, wires, and twisted wires through a machine. Stretching plate mesh: made from metal mesh sheets through mechanical cutting, stretching, and pressing processes. Welding wire mesh: made by welding metal wires through special methods.

The Installation of the Metal Mesh

There are various forms of metal mesh construction, which are generally closely related to the type of mesh. The commonly used method for weaving wire mesh is the hook and tie tensioning method; Stretching and welding metal mesh often use edge clamping or direct welding methods. The installation of woven metal mesh reduces structural load by supporting points. For substructures with upper and lower connection points, fixed intermediate supports must be added on each layer according to the size of the individual units that make up it to reduce the maximum load on the substructures and the possible deviation of the mesh.
