Expanded Metal Mesh Manufacturer & Supplier in India
Ambani Metals manufactures and supplies Expanded Metal Mesh for industrial, architectural, and fabrication applications. The expanded mesh is produced by slitting and expanding metal sheets in a single operation, creating a strong and rigid structure without welding or joints. We manufacture Expanded Metal Mesh in stainless steel, mild steel, carbon steel, aluminium, copper, brass, nickel, titanium, and other metals.
Our Expanded Metal Mesh is available in various opening sizes, thicknesses, strand widths, and sheet dimensions to meet different application requirements. Expanded metal mesh is commonly used for walkways, machine guards, fencing, security screens, facades, ceiling panels, partitions, ventilation panels, and equipment enclosures across a wide range of industries.
Why Use Expanded Metal Mesh?
Expanded Metal Mesh is manufactured from a single sheet of metal without welding or joints, resulting in a strong and rigid structure with relatively low weight. The open mesh design allows the passage of air, light, heat, and sound, making it suitable for applications that require ventilation and visibility.
Unlike welded mesh products, Expanded Metal Mesh retains its strength because the strands remain connected throughout the sheet. The mesh can be cut, bent, formed, and fabricated for a wide range of industrial, architectural, and construction applications.
We manufacture Expanded Metal Mesh in stainless steel, mild steel, galvanized steel, aluminium, copper, brass, nickel, titanium, and other metals. Different opening sizes, strand widths, sheet thicknesses, and finishes are available. Depending on the material selected, the mesh can be used in both indoor and outdoor environments.
Custom sizes can be manufactured against customer drawings and specifications. Contact us with your required material, mesh opening, sheet dimensions, and quantity for a quotation.
How is Expanded Metal Mesh Made?
The manufacturing process varies depending on whether standard or flattened expanded metal mesh is required. Standard expanded metal is made by simultaneously slitting and stretching the metal sheet in an expander, forming uniform mesh openings. This type has a slightly raised, diamond-shaped pattern that prevents pooling of liquids, making it ideal for wash baskets and draining applications.
Ambani Metals, as a specialist manufacturer and supplier, also offers flattened expanded metal, which is cold-rolled after expansion. This process compresses the mesh into a smoother, thinner, and wider sheet, making it suitable for lightweight handling applications or when a flatter surface is needed.
Choosing between standard and flattened expanded metal mesh depends on your specific use-case. Standard mesh provides better drainage, while flattened mesh offers a sleek, lower-profile finish and is often used where aesthetics or lightness is important.

Hole Shape Expanded Metal Mesh
Standard (Raised) Expanded Metal Mesh
Expanded Metal Mesh in standard (raised) form is one of the most versatile and cost-effective materials available for industrial, architectural, and security applications. Designed through a precise slitting and stretching process, it forms a strong mesh with diamond-shaped openings-without producing any scrap or waste. This makes it an eco-friendly and economical choice for manufacturers aiming to reduce operating costs.
By adjusting the pattern size or strand width, the open area can be customized to meet specific airflow, light transmission, or visibility requirements. The inherent strength and rigidity of standard expanded metal mesh allow it to maintain shape under stress while offering excellent formability, it can easily withstand a 90 degree bend within a ¼-inch inside radius without cracking. Whether used for filtration, safety guards, ventilation panels, or architectural facades, this material combines durability, functionality, and design flexibility in one solution.
Standard Wire mesh Type
- Diamond shape expanded metal Mesh
- Squares shape expanded metal Mesh
- Hexagonal shape expanded metal Mesh
Flattened Expanded Metal Mesh
Flattened expanded metal mesh is an extremely versatile product widely used across industrial, architectural, and decorative applications. It is produced by first creating multiple precise slits in a metal sheet and then stretching it to form a distinctive diamond-shaped mesh pattern. Unlike standard expanded metal, this type undergoes an additional cold rolling process, where the sheet is passed through specialized flattening rolls.
This extra step compresses and elongates the mesh openings, resulting in a thinner, smoother, and more uniform surface that is easier to handle and work with. The flattened expanded metal mesh sheets provide a sleek, flat profile while retaining the inherent strength, rigidity, and lightweight properties of expanded metal. Its refined appearance makes it ideal for architectural panels, machine guards, security screens, partitions, and filtration systems, while the even surface enhances safety and improves ease of fabrication.
Expanded Metal Grating
Expanded metal grating is a durable, cost-effective, and versatile solution widely used in industrial, commercial, and architectural projects. Manufactured from high-strength metal sheets that are slit and stretched into a rigid mesh pattern, it delivers exceptional load-bearing capacity while maintaining a lightweight structure.
Our expanded metal mesh gratings are ideal for demanding applications such as walkway bridging, water treatment facilities, heavy-duty fencing, barrier construction, and industrial plant platforms. They are also commonly used in utility and trailer manufacturing, fire escapes, stair treads, mezzanines, ramps, oil and gas platforms, and vertical screening solutions.
Engineered for strength, slip resistance, and durability, expanded metal grating offers a long-lasting alternative to welded or perforated products, making it an excellent choice for both safety and structural performance.

Expanded Metal Mesh Terms
- Strand : The metal strip that forms the sides of the mesh openings. It results from slitting and stretching the metal sheet.
- Bond : The intersection point where two strands meet. Bonds provide structural strength to the mesh.
- SWD (Short Way of Diamond) : The distance from the center of one bond to the center of the next bond across the short axis of the diamond shape.
- LWD (Long Way of Diamond) : The distance across the long axis of the diamond shape from center to center of bonds.
- Thickness (Gauge) : The thickness of the original metal sheet before expansion. This affects the mesh's strength and durability.
- Opening Size : The size of the mesh aperture, usually measured by the SWD and LWD. Determines ventilation, drainage, and material passage capability.
- Standard Expanded Metal : Mesh in its original, raised form after expansion, offering high strength and grip.
- Flattened Expanded Metal : Mesh that has been cold-rolled after expansion, making it thinner, smoother, and more flexible for certain applications.
