Standard Expanded Metal Mesh

Expanded metal mesh for public walkways, elevated platforms, stairs, railings, and partitions

Shang Kai Steel’s standard expanded metal mesh, a versatile and widely used building material, is designed to meet the functional and structural needs of the Taiwan market. This form of metal mesh integrates durability, sustainability, and architectural flexibility across infrastructure and public works.

Lightweight yet strong and safe
Compared with other metal mesh types, standard expanded metal mesh maintains structural integrity while being significantly lighter in weight. It is manufactured using first-grade steel from China Steel Corporation (CSC), with batch certification available. The expanded metal mesh is produced through a standardized, high-precision process—its surface is flat, apertures are uniform, edges are burr-free, and dimensional tolerances are controlled within ±3 mm. This makes it ideal for public walkways, platform mesh, and large-scale infrastructure projects.

2. Customizable apertures for privacy and ventilation
The mesh can be tailored in terms of aperture size, angle, and arrangement. Thanks to the three-dimensional structure of architectural metal mesh, it can obscure direct lines of sight from multiple angles while allowing natural airflow. This dual function makes it an excellent solution for fences, partitions, and privacy screens in both residential and commercial outdoor spaces.

3. Corrosion-resistant surface treatments
Surface finishes on expanded metal mesh not only enhance appearance but also add a protective layer to resist oxidation and corrosion. Shang Kai Steel offers various surface treatments based on material type:
 Steel mesh: hot-dip galvanized for superior durability
 Aluminum mesh: anodizing, powder coating, or fluorocarbon coating
 Stainless steel mesh: electroplating for long-term protection
These options ensure long-lasting performance in various environmental conditions.

4. Flexible processing and edge protection
In addition to surface treatment, Shang Kai Steel provides custom services such as cutting expanded metal mesh to specific dimensions or enclosing the edges for added safety. These processing options support faster, safer, and more efficient construction and installation.

5. Sustainable material aligned with 3R principles
The production of expanded metal mesh involves slitting and stretching without material waste, in line with the 3R principles:
 Reduce: Mesh has a service life of up to 60 years, minimizing maintenance and replacement.
 Recycle: At the end of its use, the mesh can be collected and processed.
 Reuse: Recycled metal can be remanufactured into new mesh products.
As a result, expanded metal mesh stands out as an eco-friendly green building material choice for modern architecture.
