Expanded Metal

The McArthur Group supplies expanded metal in a variety mesh designs to UK trade. Our expanded metal products are available from multiple locations across the UK (from stock). We can distribute the following steel sheets:

Raised Expanded Metal Mesh

Raised Mesh (Raised expanded metal) is supplied in the condition in which it is produced on the machine where the individual strands are set at an angle to the plane of the sheet. Raised mesh expanded metal is typically stronger and more robust than an equivalent flattened mesh due to the structural strength gained from the mesh bonds and strands being set at an angle. Open area / visibility through raised mesh is variable depending on the angle at which the mesh is installed / used. Raised mesh also provides excellent grip when used as a decking material fixed on top of timber boards or if a suitably heavy duty mesh is selected, it can be used as an effective anti-slip deck for vehicle ramps where dirt and water can easily fall through the mesh.

Flattened Expanded Metal Mesh

By passing the mesh through a set of heavy duty pressure rolls, the angled strands are flattened back to the original plane of the sheet. It is common that the material thickness is reduced slightly when flattened to ensure a level and even condition. Flattened expanded metal mesh allows for a more consistent open area and the finished product is easier to shear to close tolerances. Fixing and welding flattened mesh is made easier due to the more two dimensional section of the mesh.

Walkway Expanded Metal Mesh

Expanded walkway mesh is perfectly suited to many industrial applications and is available in two distinct styles. The long bond series of meshes (12-96W & 12-99WR for example) are designed to offer a large open area to maximize vision through the mesh and the long bond which joins each mesh provides excellent strength and grip. Standard walkway mesh expanded metal (60-96W & 38-76W for example) is produced with smaller mesh openings which prevent objects passing through the mesh, particularly useful if used as a catwalk or walkway over moving machinery parts. Each walkway mesh type is able to offer excellent grip and structural strength due to the raised strands configuration.
