Expanded Metal Facade is an open architectural facade system using expanded aluminum mesh as the exterior decorative layer.

Detailed Product Introduction

Expanded Metal Facade

Expanded Metal Facade is an architectural exterior cladding system manufactured primarily from aluminum alloy sheets through slitting, expanding, forming and surface finishing processes. The metal sheet is continuously slit and stretched to create an integrated mesh structure, which is then installed on the building facade using facade framing, connectors and fixing systems.

Unlike conventional solid aluminum panel facades, Expanded Metal Facade features an open mesh design with a controlled open area. This creates a continuous geometric pattern across the building exterior while maintaining a certain level of visual transparency and air circulation.

Different mesh patterns, opening sizes, strand widths, open areas and installation directions can be selected to create different architectural facade effects. Expanded metal panels can also be combined with glass curtain walls, aluminum panels, stone and other building materials to create greater depth and material contrast on the building exterior.

The system can be customized according to architectural design and project requirements, including sheet thickness, mesh specifications, panel dimensions, installation angles, colors and surface finishes. Panels can also be fabricated into modular sections according to the facade layout for efficient installation.

Product Features

Open Facade Design

The continuous expanded metal mesh structure creates a lightweight and visually transparent building exterior. It helps reduce the heavy appearance of conventional solid facades and is well suited to modern architectural designs.

Decorative and Solar Shading Functions

By adjusting mesh density, open area, installation angle and the distance between the expanded metal layer and the main building facade, the system can provide a certain degree of solar shading while enhancing the overall appearance of the building. It is suitable for office buildings, hotels, commercial complexes and parking structures.

Rich Architectural Surface Effects

Different mesh patterns, opening sizes, installation directions and surface colors can create varied geometric textures and changing light and shadow effects. Expanded metal panels can also be combined with glass curtain walls, aluminum panels and stone to create layered and visually distinctive building facades.

Flexible Specifications and Installation Options

Mesh opening size, strand width, open area, panel dimensions and installation direction can all be customized according to the architectural design. The system can also be engineered together with facade framing and fixing components to accommodate different building structures and facade configurations.
