Does Size Matter?
When it comes to considering metal mesh for a project, does the size of the project matter? We don’t think it does, because whether it’s a small or large-scale project, decorative metal mesh is the ideal creative solution in bringing it to life. In fact, we are seeing an increase in demand for metal mesh for much smaller unique projects.
There are hundreds of different types of metal mesh, but ultimately it comes down to three main types; Woven, Expanded and Perforated. So, understanding the basics of how different meshes are manufactured can help assist you in choosing the right mesh.
It is important to consider the material to be used in the application, this may be for reasons such as weight, environment, or finish. Expanded meshes are generally made from aluminium because they don’t crack after expanding, whereas stainless steel (certainly for the larger architectural meshes) can tend to crack in the corners of the holes. Woven meshes however, tend to be mainly in stainless steel, brass, bronze, or copper and not so much aluminium due to this type of mesh lending itself to more natural finishes. And, perforated sheets can be made from pretty much any metal, there is just an obvious cost issue of certain materials, one thing to remember here though is that when punching metals such as stainless steel, it can have a sharp swarf on one side of the panel that can’t be removed.
