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 perforated aluminum sheets, 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. 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.

Aluminum wire mesh Characteristics

• Strong corrosion resistance: Aluminum surface is easy to form a dense aluminum oxide film, which can effectively block air, moisture and chemical corrosion, and can remain stable in humid, acidic and alkaline environments.
• Anti-rust: Compared with iron wire mesh, aluminum wire mesh does not need galvanizing or coating treatment, and can be used for a long time, reducing maintenance costs.
• Thermal conductivity: The thermal conductivity is 3 times that of iron. Aluminum wire mesh can be used in floor heating systems, heat dissipation equipment or scenes that require rapid heat exchange.
• Conductivity: The conductivity of aluminum is close to that of copper, but the cost is lower. It is suitable for industrial fields such as electromagnetic shielding and anti-static flooring.
• Diversified surface treatment: Aluminum wire mesh can be treated by anodizing, spraying, etching, and electrophoresis processes to present gold, black, natural metallic colors, etc., to meet personalized design needs.

• Easy to form: It can be processed into arc-shaped, spherical and other special-shaped structures through stamping, bending, welding and other processes, which is suitable for curved buildings, art installations, etc.
• Lightweight and easy to install: Aluminum wire mesh is light in weight, easy to carry and install, especially suitable for high-altitude operations or complex structure construction, which can save manpower and time costs.
• Low price: The unit price is higher than that of wire mesh, but because of its corrosion resistance and long life, the long-term use cost is lower, especially suitable for harsh outdoor environments.
• Light weight: The density of aluminum is only 1/3 of that of steel, which is easy to carry and install, especially suitable for high-altitude operations or scenes with load-bearing requirements.

Aluminum mesh reference

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.

What is aluminum wire mesh used for?

Filtration

• Filtration and separation: they can be used to filter liquids, gases, or solids to remove impurities. They can be used for battery wire mesh, gas or liquid filter, in chemical refineries, household faucet filters, drain baskets, etc.
• Air purification: used in HVAC systems, air purifiers, or industrial exhaust systems to capture dust, pollen or tiny particles.

Insect and pest control

• Screens/doors and windows: Residential and commercial insect screens or screens can choose aluminum wire mesh to block mosquitoes, flies and other pests while ensuring ventilation.
• Agricultural barriers: protect crops in greenhouses or gardens from insects, birds, or rodents without affecting light.

Architecture and decoration

• Building exterior finishes: aluminum wire mesh can be used as curtain walls, sunshades, stair railings, and furniture to add a modern aesthetic to the exterior. It is a translucent effect formed by weaving or stretching processes and can be seen in many commercial public areas.
• Interior design: used as room ceilings and partitions, ceilings or decorative grilles, using its lightweight properties to create a transparent and beautiful appearance.
• Art installation: Woven aluminum wire mesh decorative curtains, such as metal curtains, are used for building curtains, living room screens or hotel decorations, showing different color effects under the light.

Protection and safety

• Building protection: Used for building safety protecting netting or fences to prevent falling or falling objects, and used as anti-fall nets.
• Anti-theft guardrail: High-strength anti-theft nets in places such as banks and jewelry stores can be combined with materials such as stainless steel.

FAQs

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.

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.

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: it 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.
