Custom Aluminum Expanded Metal Supply
Lightweight architectural and industrial mesh with custom alloys and finishes
We supply aluminum expanded metal in common alloys with custom opening sizes, strand widths, sheet dimensions, and surface finishes for distributors, contractors, fabricators, and OEM buyers.
What Is Aluminum Expanded Metal?
Aluminum expanded metal is produced by slitting and stretching aluminum sheet into a continuous diamond opening pattern. It provides low weight, corrosion resistance, ventilation, visibility, and a clean architectural appearance without welded joints.
YueChu Metal supplies custom aluminum expanded metal sheets for facades, ceilings, decorative screens, sunshades, infill panels, ventilation panels, lightweight enclosures, and industrial fabrication.
- Lightweight structure for architectural and industrial projects.
- Good corrosion resistance for indoor and outdoor applications.
- Custom alloys, opening patterns, sheet sizes, and edge conditions.
- Anodized, powder coated, PVDF coated, and mill finish options.
Applications of Aluminum Expanded Metal
Common applications include building facades, ceiling systems, decorative screens, sunshade panels, infill panels, ventilation panels, lightweight enclosures, and fabricated architectural components.
How to Choose the Right Alloy and Finish
Select the alloy according to forming, strength, and corrosion requirements. Anodized, powder coated, and PVDF coated finishes are often specified for visible or outdoor architectural projects.
Custom Aluminum Expanded Metal Specifications
Buyers can specify alloy, thickness, SWD, LWD, strand width, panel dimensions, edge condition, color, surface finish, quantity, and packing requirements.
Aluminum Expanded Metal Measurement Guide
For accurate quotation and production, expanded metal mesh should be measured by SWD (Short Way of Diamond), LWD (Long Way of Diamond), strand width, sheet thickness, sheet width, and sheet length. These expanded metal mesh specifications directly affect opening size, weight, strength, ventilation rate, and application performance.
When sending an inquiry for aluminum expanded metal, it is recommended to provide the parameters below for faster quotation and production.
- TL / SWD: Short way of the mesh opening.
- TB / LWD: Long way of the mesh opening.
- d: Sheet thickness of the original metal plate.
- b: Strand width of the metal rib.
- B: Overall sheet width.
- L: Overall sheet length.

Aluminum Expanded Metal FAQ
What aluminum alloys are available?
Common options include 1060, 3003, 5052, and 6061 aluminum. Other alloys can be reviewed according to strength, forming, corrosion resistance, and project requirements.
Can aluminum expanded metal be used outdoors?
Yes. Aluminum has good corrosion resistance and is widely used outdoors. Anodized, powder coated, or PVDF coated finishes can provide additional protection and the required architectural appearance.
What surface finishes are available?
Available finishes include mill finish, anodized, powder coated, and PVDF coated surfaces. Custom colors and project-specific finish requirements can be reviewed before production.
Is aluminum expanded metal suitable for architectural projects?
Yes. Its low weight, corrosion resistance, ventilation, and decorative appearance make it suitable for facades, ceilings, screens, sunshades, infill panels, and ventilation panels.
What information is needed for a quotation?
Please send the alloy, thickness, SWD, LWD, strand width, panel dimensions, finish or color, quantity, application, and destination port. Drawings or photos help us quote faster.
