 BESTAL EXPANDED METALS

Expanded metals is produced from one continuous sheet of metal by

expansion process i.e. slit and stretched to form uniform diamond-
patterned meshes. This unique process results in double bonds formation
where the rows of strands converge at the apex of each diamond, technically
called “knuckles”.

MATERIALS TYPE
1. Steel: Manufactured using high quality, low carbon steel complying to JIS G3131 (BS 1449) SPHC.
Normally hot-dipped galvanised (to BS 729:1971) for anti-corrosion.
2. Stainless Steel: Manufactured using SS304/316 grade for highly corrosive environment applications.
3. Aluminium: Manufactured using high quality commercial grade aluminium sheets (Grade AA1100-H14) 99%
pure aluminium.
4. Powder-coated: All expanded steel meshes can be powder-coated for decorative and chemical resistant
applications. A wide range of colour selection is avaliable upon request.

Conventional / Flattened
Before rolling After rolling
Meshes
1. Conventional mesh in which the strands are
inclined from the plane of the steel sheet.
2. Flattened mesh in which the strands are in the

The unique feature of expanded metals is that the mesh is formed from the
overall
same piece of metal. The “knuckles” where the strand joints create some SWM SWO thickness

inherent properties of expanded metals:

LWM
1. The intact “knuckles” provides structural support for loading, suitable
for withstanding stress and support weight better than joining or
welding process. As there are no joints or welds, it distributes loads SWO - Short Way of Opening
LWO - Long Way of Opening
evenly over wider area.
2. The open mesh design allows passage of light, air and sound; used for
screenmesh, ventilation and security screen in many industrial
buildings.
3. Lighter in weight yet stronger than steel sheet, thus economical
applications for walkway platform, security fencing, machine
guards, racking, etc.
4. Expanded mesh does not fray or unravel when cut or left unframed;
ensures high degree of security and protection for security prisons,
military installation, bank vaults and high-security fencing.
5. The anti-skid surface provides safety and grip suitable for
stairtreads, rugged maintenance floor, gratings and catwalks for

FIXING AND INSTALLATION : WALKWAY MESHES

When fixing the side of Expanded Metal and welded in situ to the steel beam or shape supporting structure, weld the side as shown.
But according to application conditions, welding spots may be every 2 meshes or 4 meshes. However, it is recommended for safety
to weld every mesh for such applications where traffics are busy or where are likely subject to heavy shocks and vibrations.

 BESTAL EXPANDED METALS

INSTALLATION METHOD
(a) Direction Arrangement:
Arrange direction of long way of mesh (LWM) to conform to span direction. (Refer to Fig. 1 & Fig. 2)
(b) Welding:
Distribution of load produced in the mesh by working load on expanded metal is considered to be shown in
Fig. 2. Therefore, for joining two sheets together there are 2 standard methods as below;
(b-1) Sheet joined by butt welding (see Fig. 3)
(b-2) Sheet joined by overlapping and welding for at least one mesh (see Fig. 4)
(b-3) When joining (walkway grating type) in SWM (Short way of mesh) direction, arrange meshes to be in a
straight line and direction of angle each strand to be in same way.

BESTAL FORMWORKS FOR CONSTRUCTION JOINTS

Bestal metal formwork (BMF) is designed to replace the tedious conventional
construction joints and used as permanent formwork for construction joints or concrete
stop ends. Bestal metal formwork or commonly referred to as “High-Ribbed” mesh by
building contractors can save contractors time and money. Made from galvanised sheet,
its unique design incorporates mesh with roll-formed V-ribbed helps retain concrete grout

BESTAL RIBBED-LATHING
Bestal ribbed-lath is expanded metal-lath stiffened with longitudinal ribs. The fuming de-
sign of the mesh provides efficient background plaster, partitioning, structural encasement,

Bestal expanded lath is commonly used for providing key for plaster and render work. Commercial applications
include partitioning, suspended ceiling and structural encasement for fireproofing incorporating venmiculite plaster.
The jointless and continuity of expanded metal-lath is used as background plaster to reinforce against plaster cracks;
and relieving stress at joints of dissimilar material.

BESTAL ANGLE BEADS

Bestal angle bead protects plaster from chipping at vulnerable corners of plastered walls and columns. It also helps to
provide a straight arris for better finishing. The expanded wings provide a good anchorage for most types of plaster use.
Minimesh angle bead (MAB) is the miniature version of angle bead for thin-coat plaster of 3-6mm render. It gives
protection at exterior corner of plasterboard in partition works
