Expanded and perforated mesh screens are extremely versatile and ideal for creating a contemporary facade, offering an instant transformation on refurbishments and new builds.

The cladding is usually constructed from 3-5mm thick metal sheet, with the individual design of the panel being shaped by the selected material. The amount and size of perforations, or the 'eyes' of the expanded mesh, are a critical factor for consideration in the design process.

These flexible metal patterns can be used to enhance the shape of a building and can be manipulated to achieve unusual and striking visual effects. Transparency and shafts of light caught in the perforations can produce spectacular enhancements to the facade.

The expanded mesh manufacturing process provides a material with a three-dimensional quality. It can be completely opaque when viewed from one direction, and transparent when viewed from an alternative angle.

In addition to its aesthetic qualities, expanded and perforated mesh screens are very strong, and flexible enough to be used for metalwork fabrication and metal structures.
