Product description
Premium Flattened Expanded Aluminum Mesh
The 1585AF is a premium-grade expanded metal mesh manufactured from high-quality aluminum alloy. Unlike woven wires, this material is cut and stretched from a solid sheet, creating a rigid, interlocking diamond-pattern structure that offers exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. The 'AF' designation indicates that the mesh has been mechanically flattened, providing a smooth, uniform surface free from sharp protrusions.
This flattening process enhances the aesthetic appeal and safety of the material, making it suitable for applications where touch contact or visual clarity is important. The inherent properties of aluminum, including natural corrosion resistance and non-magnetic characteristics, ensure longevity in both indoor and outdoor environments.
Key Features & Applications
- High Strength & Durability: The stretched manufacturing process work-hardens the metal, significantly increasing its structural integrity compared to standard sheet metal.
- Lightweight yet Rigid: Offers superior load-bearing capacity while minimizing overall weight, reducing support structure costs.
- Smooth, Safe Finish: The flattened surface eliminates burrs and sharp edges, making it safe for handrails, partitions, and public areas.
- Corrosion Resistant: Naturally resistant to rust and weathering, ideal for coastal or humid environments without requiring additional coating.
- Versatile Usage: Perfect for architectural facades, machine guarding, filtration screens, acoustic panels, and decorative fencing.
