Architectural Decorative Mesh Patterns

Architectural decorative mesh is a strong self-contained piece of metal that won't unravel and will retain its shape and strength for years of service. Expanded metal can be designed according to a designers’ preference with various degree of angles and different types of slits, stretches, placement, indentions, finishes and materials. 

Our Spantek Edge Process provides design, engineering and fabrication capabilities allow us to help develop solutions to any architectural project. We produce a variety of decorative mesh styles available in aluminum and carbon steel expanded metal.

Perforated Alternative Patterns

Spantek Expanded Metal offers a unique and versatile alternative to Perforated Metal, while providing significant cost savings opportunities.  Similar to perforated, Expanded Metal is an intermediate raw material that allows light and air to flow freely through it and provides a rigid screen product with a variety of open area configurations. Expanded offers similar design characteristics to perforated metal with more flexibility in open area options, at a fraction of the cost of perforated materials. In addition, Expanded Metal is available in both flattened and raised profiles, providing a three dimensional look that perforated cannot match. Also, the production process for expanded metal produces zero scrap and requires considerably less raw material to produce than perforated making it an ideal choice for sustainable designs. Like perforated, Expanded Metal openings are in uniform size and regularity and provide boundless open area and design options.

Expanded Metal is an extremely versatile product with numerous applications in industrial, functional, and aesthetic architectural designs. Spantek offers several standard pattern designs that match perforated patterns in open area, hole-size and web; more importantly Spantek can provide custom designed patterns that offer unique cost saving solutions for replacing perforated materials while achieving similar functional results. In addition to material savings, Expanded Metal tooling costs are typically 1/3 the cost of perforated tooling, so customization is a less costly option.
