Aluminum Wire Mesh
Aluminum wire mesh is widely used because of its affordable price, light weight, and corrosion resistance. Compared with steel or stainless steel, aluminum wire mesh is lighter and cheaper. It weighs only about one-third of the same specification of stainless steel mesh, which is very suitable for light screening applications, like air vents and personal audio headsets. In addition, due to its corrosion resistance, it is also suitable for freezing temperatures, heavy rain, and strong wind environments. Wanzhi Steel specializes in the production of various sizes of aluminum metal mesh, including aluminum chicken wire, aluminum welded wire mesh, and aluminum wire cloth… You can contact us for an online quote~

What is aluminum wire mesh?
- Aluminium mesh wire is the most widely used non-ferrous metal. It has a variety of meshes, such as aluminum wire mesh screen, woven aluminum mesh, aluminum chicken mesh aluminum weld mesh aluminum expanded mesh, and other aluminum wire nets, all of which are made of aluminum wire weaving welding, or punching aluminum sheet.
- Aluminum wire netting has low density and strong corrosion resistance. It is a soft, durable, lightweight, ductile, and forgeable metal mesh material.
- In addition, aluminum itself is non-magnetic, not easy to ignite, and is an excellent light reflector. Its density and hardness are about one-third of steel, and it is easy to process, cast, draw, and extrude. Aluminium wire netting is a good conductor of heat and electricity, with thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity of 59% of copper.
- All our standard aluminum meshes are made of commercial purity grade 1050 aluminum, which is 99.5% pure.
Wanzhi Steel aluminum wire mesh
- Aluminum wire mesh from Wanzhi Steel is high quality, affordable, and adaptable, making it perfect for many applications. Because it is a flexible material, aluminum wire mesh can be easily shaped and cut using basic hand tools.
- Tin snips can cut heavier-duty 2 meshes through 10 meshes, while household scissors should do the trick for finer meshes, for numbers 16 mesh and up.
- We offer a wide selection of wire mesh types by material, finish, size, and weave, meaning there are infinite combinations to meet the needs of your project.
- We also provide laser-cutting services to accurately, efficiently, and economically create custom parts. We’re here to help you find the best mesh for you.
Aluminum wire mesh Characteristics
- People gravitate toward aluminum wire mesh because it’s both lightweight and strong. The material is key to the construction of many vents, fan guards, and strainers.
- Plus, an aluminum fan guard keeps small birds, bats, and snakes at bay.
- Aluminum is a frequent go-to choice for its relative affordability, boasting lower price points than some other metals.
- Its high electrical conductivity makes it perfect for a variety of applications, and it resists corrosion in most normal conditions.
- Aluminum mesh is up to 65% lighter than heavier steel mesh, making it essential for lightweight window screens.
- Aluminum is also flexible and can be used in applications where rigid steel mesh cannot be utilized, such as vents.
What is aluminum wire mesh used for?
Industrial, marine, aerospace, transportation, and many other industries, turn to aluminum wire mesh for its distinct advantages. Its uses include:
- 8 mesh excludes bees from attics and other housing spaces. (5 mesh excludes queens.)
- 8 meshes and finer keep exhaust fans free from detritus and insects.
- Sizes including 20 mesh are an invaluable part of roof air vents.
- A range of aluminum mesh discs can filter, strain, and perform other essential tasks inside pipes, ducts, and tubes.
Is aluminium mesh strong?
If you are looking for effective insect screens or other screens, aluminum mesh is very suitable. It is much stronger than fiberglass or plastic mesh, provides long-lasting durability, and can maintain its original color for a long time without worrying about corrosion problems.
Will aluminium mesh rust?
Like other metals, it can only play the best performance in a dry and ventilated environment, and will not rust for decades.
However, if it is not used properly, such as direct contact with oxidizing metals (using an insulating layer can alleviate this phenomenon), or in an acidic or alkaline environment, or in a high humidity and high heat environment, rust is inevitable.
Aluminium Mesh VS Fibreglass Mesh
A popular choice for durability-conscious homeowners, aluminum mesh is known for its strength and durability. Aluminum wires are woven into a mesh that creates a sturdy barrier against insects.
Fiberglass mesh is woven from fine glass fibers and coated with PVC for durability. Its versatility and ease of use make it a popular choice.
Material | Pros | Cons |
Aluminium | Durability: Resistant to rust and corrosion, ideal for all climates; Security: Offers added strength; Longevity: Cost-effective over time. | Cost: More expensive than fiberglass; Flexibility: Rigid, making installation challenging; Conductivity: Can conduct heat and cold. |
Fiberglass | Cost-Efficiency: Less expensive than aluminium; Ease of Installation: Flexible and easy to install; Color Variety: Available in various colors. | Durability: More prone to tearing and damage; Visibility: Can obstruct views more than aluminium; Maintenance: May require frequent replacements. |
Therefore, at first glance, fiberglass mesh may seem like the more economical option, but given the longevity and durability of aluminum, the latter may be more cost-effective in the long run.
What is Aluminium Expanded Metal Mesh?
Aluminum Expanded Metal is a sheet product that has been slit and stretched to a wide array of diamond-shaped openings. Aluminum expanded metal offers savings in weight and metal, free passage of light, liquid, sound, and air while providing a decorative or ornamental effect.
Choosing Your Wire Mesh Material
We offer many specifications of wire mesh. For someone unfamiliar with wire mesh terminology, these are for your reference:
- 2 mesh has two openings in each direction in a square inch. You could easily pass a pencil through the openings.
- 16 mesh is what is used in window or porch screens to keep out common insects.
- 60×40 mesh is the size commonly used in kitchen faucets.
- An 80 mesh has an opening that will barely pass a human hair.
- A piece of paper is about three thousandths (.003) of an inch.
