The usage possibilities of the expanded metal sheets have significantly widened in the past period. Their favourable characteristics were mainly used in the past in the industry for manufacturing grids, filters, among others. The architecture of the present days has luckily observed and discovered the innovative possibilities to be found in these types of metals, which is also supported by the continuous development of the manufacturing technologies. As the effect of all these the expanded metal sheets have become one of the determinative, eye-pleasing and at the same time practical building element of the modern architecture. Our company as the exclusive representative of the firm manufacturing such products, the Italian Fratelli MARIANI, is capable to respond the challenges posed by the widest demands.

The products with the hallmark MARIANItech® trademark offer innovative solutions for shaping fantastic building facades from expanded metal sheets. This is exactly the reason why these sheets are used with predilection at renewing of existing buildings or the construction of new ones.

The MARIANI tech Design expanded metal sheets may be manufactured from aluminium, stainless steel, copper, galvanized or carbon steel raw materials.

We offer a wide range of surface treatment possibilities depending on the style, shape, and lifespan necessities, such as galvanizing, natural or coloured anodizing, powder coating in the colours of the RAL colour range.

INDUSTRIAL EXPANDED METAL SHEETS

The manufacturing of the expanded metal sheets is done by pressing and stretching the metal sheet at the same time. This process forms orifices with different shapes in the material, which assures the free flow of the air and light.

Micromesh

Microexpanded metal, which prove to be suitable for utilization in the filters field as well as for other various use, can be considered as a particular type of expanded metal from which it differs for the small size of the mesh.

We are therefore in a position to supply any type of microexpanded metal featuring rhomboidal, hexagonal or differently shaped mesh, made of any sort of metal provided that it is suitable for the stretch process. Normally they are made of steel, stainless steel, alluminum, peralumen, brass, copper, plastic material etc.
Some usual applications are for: shieldings and radiant plates of gas or kerosene stoves, grates, flamebreakers, filter covering, sound-proofing panels, internal separators for toaster, grates for radios and record players, aesthetic panels for juke-box and radiator grilles.

Rhomboidal mesh

Rhomboidal expanded metal is the most common used expanded metal pattern.

Its diamond shape allows good air and light passage and gives an aesthetic appeal.

They are permeable to light and air:

they are outstandingly suitable for shading and air technology.

No waste is produced at manufacturing

so they do not pose a further burden for the environment.

Their value for money

makes them outstandingly liked by the users.

Due to the three-dimensional shaping

the sheets are extremely rigid, thus they may undertake supporting structure functions, and the thicker sheets may function as walking surfaces
