Mesh types

Flattened or raised

Every size comes one of two ways. Both are cut from a single sheet, so there are no welds or joins.

Mesh sizes

How to read a mesh size

62×30

62: LWD: the long way of the diamond, measured centre to centre, in millimetres.
30: SWD: the short way of the diamond, measured centre to centre.
3mm: Strand: the width of the metal between the openings.
F: Flattened. Without it the mesh is raised. The letter before it is the metal: M mild steel, A aluminium, G pre-galvanised, S stainless.

So a 62 × 30mm mesh with a 3mm strand has diamonds 62mm long and 30mm wide, centre to centre, joined by 3mm strands of metal.

FAQ

Have a question we haven’t answered? Call or email and our sales team can check stock and sizes for you.

Call 0117 963 4579 Email us

What is the difference between flattened and raised?

Raised expanded metal is left as it comes off the expanding press, so the strands sit at an angle to the sheet. Flattened expanded metal is rolled after expanding, so the strands lie flat and the sheet has a smooth surface.

How do I measure a mesh size?

Measure the long way of the diamond (LWD) and the short way (SWD) from the centre of one strand junction to the next, and the width of a strand. Send us those three numbers and the thickness and we can match it.

How quickly can I have it?

Full sheets from stock go out the next working day across the UK. Made-to-order sizes are usually ready in 5 to 7 days, and we give you a date when we price them.

Can you cut it to size?

Yes. Send us the sizes and quantities, or a drawing, and we will price the cutting with the material. We can also fold and fabricate panels, guards and walkways.

Can you supply a size that is not listed?

Often, yes. Tell us the diamond size, strand, thickness, material and quantity, or send a drawing, and we will let you know what we can do.

Do you have a minimum order?

No minimum on stock sheets. Ring or email the sales office and we can check stock and price it.
