Features & Uses

Solar Screening…

Expanded metal offers an excellent solution for solar screening, reducing solar gain by blocking the sun’s rays as it moves through the day in turn creating a stunning Day/Night effect, shown via Des Moines Library, USA.

Balustrades...

Expanded metal has been used in a number of different balustrade applications. The variety of meshes, materials and finishes available will enable you to create your own bespoke design.

Structural Support...

Traditionally, expanded metal mesh has been used to act as a support and a key for plaster and render. Progressing these applications one stage further, we have developed the material to act in a supporting role on much larger projects. Expanded metal can be curved on both elevation and plan to create a shaped and sculptured structure or add strength and support.

Ceilings...

The structure of expanded metal aides the disruption of sound waves, deadening noise and reducing echo. This practical feature, in conjunction with its already proven architectural features make it perfect for decorative ceiling tiles. Additionally the open area of the mesh allows sprinkler systems to work effectively whilst hiding the unsightly sprinklers.

Cladding...

Expanded metal is an ideal material for external cladding; it can turn the ugliest of buildings into a work of art. Expanded metal cladding has become particularly popular over recent years and can be seen on many buildings such as, The New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York, The Young Vic Theatre, London and the Stephen Lawrence Centre, London.

Bespoke Fencing & Plant Screening...

Lightweight but strong expanded metal is an obvious choice for fencing and plant screening. Simply altering the orientation of the mesh can create unique effects and determine the level of visibility or privacy.
