Steel expanded metal mesh, characterized by its diamond-shaped openings and integral structure, is a remarkably versatile material widely employed across numerous industries. Its unique combination of strength, durability, permeability, and cost-effectiveness makes it an ideal solution for a diverse range of applications. Primarily, its uses can be categorized into three key areas:structural and architectural support, safety and security, and functional filtration or decoration. From reinforcing concrete in construction and creating secure fencing to serving as walkway grating in industrial plants and decorative elements in modern design, steel expanded mesh proves to be an indispensable component in both functional and aesthetic projects.

Expanded metal for fences

Durable, functional and customisable, expanded metal fencing provides great design flexibility. You can choose from aluminium, carbon steel and many types of mesh, from open to semi-open to closed.

Many colour customisation options are also available, as well as powder coating and anodising for a durable, weather-resistant finish.

Expanded metal sheets for facades

Exterior sheet metal claddings offer numerous benefits that make them ideal for building facades, as they combine modern aesthetics with significant energy-saving advantages.

They are therefore perfect for use in sustainable architecture projects, thanks to their effectiveness in the thermal insulation of wind-exposed walls and their ability to limit heat build-up when used as sunshades.

Machining of expanded metal for architecture

You can request Fratelli Mariani architectural expanded metal sheets with a wide range of additional processing. Painting, washing, heat treatment and hot-dip galvanising to increase weather resistance, but also flattening and cutting to size to meet the most specific aesthetic and functional requirements.
