Expanded Metal Pattern Options
Material
Nexerse is capable of working with a variety of different materials. Some of these materials include Stainless Steel, Aluminum, Carbon Steel, and more. Here are examples of the most popular materials we use.
We can also provide custom alloys of one metal with another or several metals to increase its rigidity and corrosion resistance to meet the unique needs of your application.
Copper
Expanded metal products are offered in copper, which is a soft, malleable, and ductile material. It contains high thermal and electrical properties that may be used for architectural or building purposes. Copper develops a natural patina from oxidation but the material is 100% recyclable.
Cupro-Nickel
Cupro-Nickel is an alternative expanded metal that maintains excellent formability. As an alloy of copper, it contains nickel along with iron and manganese for increased strengthening. It is silver in color and also highly resistant to corrosion from seawater and other related environments.
Titanium
Titanium is an expanded metal material with low density and the highest strength to weight ratio of any metallic element. It also has the highest corrosion resistance in seawater and chlorine. It may be alloyed with other elements to produce a strong, lightweight material. Titanium is nonmagnetic with low thermal and electrical properties.
Nickel
Nickel is an expanded metal material with excellent formability and high ductility. It is considered corrosion resistant because it slowly oxidizes at room temperature. Additionally, it has magnetic characteristics and has good thermal and electrical properties.
Weathering-Steel
Owned by United States Steel and trademarked as COR-TENⓇ, weathering steel removes the need for painting because of its natural yet unique oxidized look. Architectural projects benefit from this material due to its stable rust-like appearance when exposed to the weather. It is effectively resistant against corrosive effects of rain, snow, ice and fog.
APPLICATIONS
Our architectural and decorative expanded metals offer a wide variety of applications for both interior and exterior appliances. We always aim to provide industrial designers and other clients with decorative expanded metal products to meet their mechanical requirements.
Interior design applications include, but are not limited to, windows, doors and skylight guards, partitions, barriers, ceiling panels and wall lighting, shelving, screening and sunshades. For the product applications that require it, each specific design is created to allow for passage and control of light, air, heat and sound.
Some exterior design applications also include architectural fencing, facades, drive and sidewalk gating, signage, playground equipment, building cladding and security. Since we are apt to provide our clients with the best safety designs, we do provide security measures for both interior and exterior purposes. Whether our decorative expanded metal is used in warehouses, storage rooms, corporate facilities, manufacturing plants or schools, we create fence, gate and partition designs suitable for security and aesthetic appeal. These products are easy to implement and provide incredible durability and coverage.
Other alternative applications include speaker grilles, light diffusers, store displays and more. With our diverse list of designs and decorative expanded metal materials, we can provide most metal applications as necessary for multiple industries.
Features & Benefits
We provide the solution for industrial designers’ concern with both the mechanical requirements and sales appeal for products using decorative expanded metal. Our architectural, decorative mesh is a self-contained piece of metal that will not unravel. This means that it will remain secure in its initial shape after years of constant usage.
The properties are the same as standard expanded metal mesh: 3-dimensional appearance, strong, lightweight, rigid, adaptable to finishing processes and allows free passage and control of light, air, heat, and sound. In addition, the decorative expanded metal offers functional attractiveness. The decorative mesh patterns are functional in that they regulate flow through direction and volume and are attractive due to their sales appeal.
Our decorative expanded metal mesh is equally practical and economic as it provides enhanced strength and safety for all application environments. Most importantly, we are more efficient than other competitors because we are able to produce increased amounts of metal with less material and less waste. With this in mind, our architectural and decorative application options are complemented by our productive measures. Overall, our custom designs and sizes are intended to cover your specific application requirements in the most effective and cost-efficient way possible.

Finishing
Our designs and finishes offer a multitude of choices for our clients in any related industry. The decorative expanded metal styles are available in aluminum and carbon steel. We also custom design decorative mesh patterns to meet your specific requirements. However, most of our decorative mesh patterns are manufactured on a special-order basis only.
The aluminum metal mesh is an effective choice for decorative expanded metal because it is lightweight and easier to install. It is resistant to corrosion and ideal for answering to strength to weight ratio limitations. The carbon steel mesh is cost effective, ductile, robust and provide
