Some good reasons for using Italfim expanded mesh

Made-to-measure: one of Italfim’s strengths is the fact it can produce items to customer specifications, including assembly of components and details.


Workability:the structure of expanded mesh can be worked at will: bending, framing, funnelling, ribbing, plasma cutting, pleating and fretting.


No breaking:no risk of the mesh breaking or a change in the aperture size when you cut the edges. Easier to work with than woven mesh, as it keeps its shape and doesn’t “run”.


Configurability: Italfim expanded mesh comes in a huge range of pattern sizes. From “micromesh” with holes just 100 microns wide for filtering purposes to load-bearing grating 10 mm thick.


Transparency: Italfim expanded mesh lets light, air, liquids, dust and noise through for countless different applications.


Versatility: a material with many benefits, Italfim expanded mesh makes for unlimited new applications.


Robustness and strength: Italfim expanded mesh withstands high levels of strain and makes a solid safety barrier.


Low cost: Expanded mesh is cheaper than punched sheet metal, as there’s no waste.


Choice of materials and finishes: Italfim uses materials suitable for deep pressing and can expand various types of stainless steel and galvanised carbon steel mesh to suit specific corrosive strength requirements. Light-weight aluminium is perfect for aesthetic applications and industrial filter panels.


The look: harmonious geometry, large spans and coloured finishes all mean this material is much appreciated by architects and is ideal for high class out-fitting.


Recyclable: Italfim expanded mesh can be recycled and does not pollute the environment.
