Xpand Architectural Aluminium Mesh β Innovation in Modern Facades
Introduction to Xpand Aluminium Mesh
Xpand aluminium architectural mesh is a cutting-edge facade solution that enhances the visual appeal and functionality of modern buildings. Acting as a “second skin,” these metal meshes wrap around structures, creating a unique and sophisticated design while providing practical benefits such as sun protection, ventilation, and security.
Designed for architects and designers seeking a balance between aesthetics and performance, Xpand meshes transform building facades with their distinctive textures, patterns, and material properties.
Material Composition & Manufacturing Standards
Xpand meshes are manufactured from high-grade 6063-T6 aluminium, a material known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and ease of fabrication.
Alloy Type Density (g/cmΒ³) Tensile Strength (MPa) Yield Strength (MPa) Elongation (%) Hardness (Brinell HB) 6063-T6 2.7 241 214 12 73 The production process involves precision extrusion and expansion techniques, creating a uniform mesh structure with various aperture sizes and thicknesses. Compliance with ASTM B221 and EN 755-2 standards ensures the durability and reliability of Xpand meshes for architectural applications.
Design Versatility & Customization Options
One of the standout features of Xpand aluminium mesh is its adaptability to different architectural styles and requirements.
β Mesh Patterns & Textures β Available in multiple designs, including diamond, square, and custom geometric patterns.
β Coatings & Finishes β Powder coating (AkzoNobel, Axalta), anodizing (25Β΅m – 30Β΅m, Class 1) for superior UV resistance and durability.
β Color Variants β Standard RAL colors, wood-imitation coatings, and custom metallic finishes.
β Panel Dimensions & Thickness β Customizable sizes and thicknesses from 2 mm to 6 mm, tailored to project specifications.Technical Performance & Benefits
