Expanded metal’s versatility, flexibility and aesthetic properties make it a popular product for use in sculpture, arts and crafts.

The apertures and patterns of metal mesh allow artists and sculptors to manipulate natural light or artificial lighting effects, and our expanded metal can be supplied in a range of textures and colours.

Expanded metal can be used to create eye-catching mesh sculptures, jewellery, frames, screens, decorative sheeting, holders, and wall or garden decorations… the scope is almost limitless.

From our 927S fine raised stainless steel mesh and micromesh range to our larger architectural meshes, we offer a wealth of choice for model makers, designers, sculptors, artists and crafters.

We manufacture a range of aluminium foil mesh products, which can also be used in sculpture and artworks, as they can be easily folded, wrapped or compressed into different shapes.

In addition to manufacturing mesh for crafts, modelling and sculptures, we also provide finishing services including powder coating and anodising. These processes can produce a spectacular range of colours and textures, and aid artistic expression through the creation of stunning visual effects.

Modelling wire mesh

Lightweight aluminium metal mesh – such as our 901A fine aluminium mesh – can be used as a modelling wire mesh. This modelling wire mesh be easily cut and shaped and can be used with modelling materials such as papier-mâché.
