 A major advantage of expanded is that the mesh is formed from a single
piece of material so the process is not wasteful and therefore cost effective
 The material is cut and stretched while still leaving it attached at the
knuckle. This allows it to retain its shape when cut and cannot separate or fray. Often
cutting to shape is the only fabrication needed.
Because of its jointless continuity it is a highly
efficient conductor of electricity, magnetic flux and heat.
 It has excellent corrosion resistance when suitably coated, and the uncut
knuckles support weight and withstand stress better than jointed welds or woven materials.
Expanded mesh can be supplied in a
variety of finishes, thickness, raised or flattened. Flattened is smoother and does not
indent soft materials if this is a consideration but is not as strong as the more robust
raised mesh. Powder coating in your choice of colour will enhance its aesthetic appearance
and add to its corrosion resistance as would plastic coating.
