Aluminum Expanded Metal Sheet 1.5mm Thickness 6.35mm Strand for Ventilation Grilles and Screens
Product Spotlights
Anping Xinye Metal Wire Mesh Products Co., Ltd. is a professional manufacturer of aluminum expanded metal sheets. Our factory in Hengshui, Hebei, China, supplies customers with durable and lightweight expanded metal in 1.5mm thickness and 6.35mm strand width, specially formed for ventilation grilles, security screens, architectural mesh, and filtration panels. This sheet gives engineers and fabricators a reliable material that supports airflow while maintaining a clean, professional appearance.
The production process starts with selected aluminum coils. The coil is slit and stretched to form diamond openings in a single continuous operation. Because the metal is expanded rather than woven or welded, the resulting sheet is one piece with no weak joints. This makes it suitable for applications where vibration, moisture, frequent cleaning, or repeated handling is expected. In addition, the natural aluminum surface develops a protective oxide layer that helps resist corrosion in outdoor and humid environments.
Key features:
- 1.5mm base thickness gives the panel good rigidity and flatness.
- 6.35mm strand width forms a regular diamond mesh with stable geometry.
- One-piece structure avoids wire joints and edge failures.
- Open mesh area provides ventilation, light transmission, and drainage.
- Aluminum alloy keeps weight low for easy fabrication and transport.
- Custom sizes are available for grilles, screens, and equipment panels.
- Surface finishes include mill finish standard, with anodizing or painting optional.
This aluminum expanded metal sheet is widely used in ventilation grilles and screens. Common end uses include HVAC intake and exhaust covers, pedestrian and machine guards, window security screens, speaker grilles, ceiling panels, flooring panels, display racks, and protective enclosures. The mesh openings allow steady air movement, which helps prevent overheating in equipment and improves comfort in building ventilation systems. At the same time, the sheet blocks large particles, insects, and debris, making it a practical solution for both functional and decorative purposes.

Customer benefits:
- Efficient airflow: open design allows natural ventilation and heat release.
- Reliable screening: continuous sheet stops unwanted objects and insects.
- Lightweight handling: aluminum reduces weight and shipping cost.
- Durable performance: one-piece construction resists distortion and edge cracking.
- Low maintenance: aluminum surface is easy to wash, wipe, and keep clean.
- Versatile fabrication: can be cut, bent, drilled, welded, or fixed to metal and wooden frames.
- Consistent appearance: regular diamond mesh ensures a uniform visual pattern.
For fabricators, the 1.5mm sheet offers a good balance between strength and formability. It can be sheared to size, bent into grille frames, or attached to supports without special tooling. The 6.35mm strand width keeps the openings neat and limits visual obstruction, which is important in architectural screens and door grilles. If your project requires a specific sheet dimension, we can adjust the width, length, and packing method. Please send your drawings or list the opening size, panel size, and quantity in your inquiry.
Because aluminum is naturally corrosion resistant, this expanded metal sheet can be installed in areas where moisture, rain, or condensation is common. It is commonly selected for outdoor louver covers, window grilles, and intake screens. It is also used indoors in elevator ceilings, partition panels, display stands, and decorative lighting enclosures. In all of these cases, the material provides a clean metal surface, light passage, and safe edges when cut and finished properly.
