Expanded metal mesh screens - patterns and profiles

Webforge offers a selection of expanded mesh screening in various patterns and profiles. When specifying expanded metal for walkways, industrial or architectural applications, its important to understand how the different aspects of the profile are identified.

Expanded metal is identified using a number of specialised terms.

Product Codes utilise a combination of sheet thickness and strand width to identify the profile.
