Išplėstinės metalinės plokštės
Expanded Metal Sheets offer a cost-effective alternative to perforated metals, with no metal loss during the expanding process. These sheets are versatile, available in various sizes, styles, and thicknesses, and provide a virtually impenetrable barrier when used in walls and ceilings. They are ideal for architectural applications such as balustrades, structural support, and ceiling coverings, offering both functional and aesthetic benefits. Expanded metal is also used for solar screening, reducing solar gain by blocking the sun's rays.
ADVANTAGES OF EXPANDED METAL
• Cost effective alternative to perforated metals, no metal is lost in the expanding process
• Unlike woven wire products, expanded metal won’t ravel; if cut at one end, the remaining strands continue to hold
• Versatile, with a great variety of sizes, styles, and thicknesses offering many choices to suit your needs
• Presents a virtually impenetrable barrier when used in walls and ceilings
ARCHITECTURAL USAGE FIELDS
SOLAR SCREENING
As global warming continues to prove it is here to
stay, so the resultant air conditioning units put
additional demands on electricity suppliers, who in
turn, exacerbate global warming! It is a vicious circle which needs to stop and expanded metal offers an excellent solution to the problem, by reducing solar gain through blocking the sun’s rays as it moves through the day.
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.
Expanded metal can be curved on both elevation and plan to create a shaped and sculptured structure or add strength and support
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.
CEILINGS
The structure of expanded metal aides the disruption of sound waves, deadening noise and reducing echo. This practical feature of the material, in conjunction with its already proven architectural features make it perfect for decorative ceiling tiles. The open area of the mesh allows sprinkler systems to work effectively whilst hiding the unsightly sprinklers.
