SG-EX
Expanded metal mesh for directional strength and openness.
A formed metal surface that combines ventilation, visibility control and structural visual rhythm.
Project role
Expanded metal mesh for strong direction and breathable screening.
SGORIA expanded metal creates a formed surface with open airflow, directional depth and efficient large-area coverage for parking garages, commercial facades, public building screens and protective layers.
Small Opening
Fine expanded pattern for close-view panels.
Medium Opening
Balanced openness, rigidity and visual rhythm.
Large Opening
Lightweight texture for facades and enclosures.
Materials & finishes
Select expanded metal material and finish by exposure, strength and visual depth.
Expanded metal combines sheet logic and mesh openness. Material thickness, finish and support should be checked together.
Materials
Material choice follows span, exposure and required surface strength.
- Aluminum
- Carbon steel
- Stainless steel
- Project metal
Finish direction affects color stability, reflectivity and exterior maintenance.
- Powder coating
- Fluorocarbon coating
- Anodising
- Custom finish
Framed expanded panel
Perimeter frames can stabilize panel modules and keep the expanded opening orientation clear on facades or screens.
Sheet fixing detail
Fixing points, frame depth and orientation can be coordinated before cutting, coating and packing.
Confirm long way, short way and visual orientation in the project elevation.
Review sheet size, joint rhythm and fixing points.
Match base metal and coating with exterior or interior use.
Approve visual density, colour and shadow depth before production.

What should I check when choosing expanded metal mesh?
Check opening size, strand width, sheet thickness, orientation, panel size, material, finish and fixing route. Direction matters because expanded metal has a clear long-way and short-way rhythm.
Is expanded metal suitable for parking garage screens?
Yes. It is often used for breathable parking screens because it can balance airflow, visibility control, panel economy and exterior durability when material and coating are selected properly.
How does expanded metal differ from perforated metal?
Expanded metal is formed by slitting and stretching sheet material, giving it directional depth and no punched waste. Perforated metal gives more controlled hole geometry and graphic pattern options.
What information helps SGORIA recommend expanded metal panels?
Send the application, desired openness, panel size, orientation, exposure, finish target and fixing idea. Elevation drawings help confirm module layout and edge detail.
