*The process is not wasteful of material

The expanding process involves slitting and stretching the metal to create holes rather than punching them out.  This gives you cost savings, especially compared to other metal processing methods. For example, when perforating metals, all of the holes you see are wasted and must be paid for by you.  Expanding metals is a traditional method, which complies with modern green engineering standards. 

*Higher strength-to-weight ratio than sheet metal

Test results are available from extensive research carried out with the University of Teesside to validate the strength to weight ratios of Expanded metal meshes.  Hard to believe but tested and true.  By expanding metal from its solid sheet form additional strength is added.  This makes mesh ideal for catwalks, ramps, walkways and platforms.  The uncut knuckles of expanded mesh withstand stress better than welds or joints. 

*Anti-slip surface

The knuckles formed by expanding mesh give sound grip underfoot, particularly beneficial when used in stairtreads, ramps and walkways.  We have also developed a range of specific anti-slip walkway meshes.
