Expanded Metal Corner Bead
Aluminum, Stainless Steel or Galvanized Expanded Metal Corner Bead
GALVANIZED STEEL EXPANDED FLANGE CORNER BEAD FOR EXTERIOR CORNERS
A solid nose, all-purpose exterior corner bead. Strong and economical with multiple general use purposes.
Expanded metal corner bead, also called diamond mesh corner bead or expanded angle bead, is manufactured from stainless steel, aluminum or galvanized expanded metal wing flanges and a solid metal nose. The expanded metal corner bead is an important part in the building constructions. It can be used in the various irregular surface to supply clean and straight corners. The angle bead with creased reinforce flange can supply additional rigidity and strength for the corner bead.
Types of expanded metal corner bead
- Expanded angle bead.The common type of expanded metal corner bead. It consist of aluminum, stainless steel or galvanized expanded metal sheet and a metal nose.
- Angle bead with reinforce flange.It is a reinforced structure of expanded metal corner bead. It consist of the various materials of expanded metal sheet, solid metal nose and a perforated stiffening rib. The stiffening rib supplies better strength than the expanded angle bead.
- Angle bead with creased reinforce flange.The most solid structure among the three type. Similar to the angle bead with reinforce flange, the angel bead with creased reinforce flange has three main parts: expanded metal sheet, solid metal nose and reinforcement rib. The reinforcement rid is creased with can be suit for more applications and more solid than the common rib.

Features of expanded metal corner bead
- Strong and economical.
- Corrosion and rust resistance.
- Multiple general use purpose.
- Flexible and fit for most irregular surface.
- Nose of expanded corner bead can supply straight and rigid ground.
Applications:
The expanded metal corner bead can fit for most irregular surface to supply even ground and straight corners.
The expanded metal bead can be used on masonry, beams and column fireproofing.
The wide, expanded-wing flanges are flexible and can compensate for most irregular surfaces providing even grounds and straight corners. The expanded steel near the nose of the corner bead provides multiple plastering and stucco keys allowing for reinforcement and strength where it is needed the most. In addition to reinforcing corners, the Corner Bead can also be used as a return accessory around any recessed opening or as a corner for spray-applied fireproofing when the column of bead is boxed in.
Galvanized steel products should not be used with magnesium oxychloride cement or Portland cement containing calcium chloride additives. The selection of the appropriate type of material for accessories shall be determined by the surrounding climatic and environmental conditions such as salt air, industrial pollution, and high humidity. The Corner Bead is available in Zinc for approved corrosion resistance.
Expanded Plaster Mesh
Expanded Plaster Mesh with Flame retardancy and Strong Adhesion Stress
Expanded plaster mesh is a kind of reinforced material in building decoration, it is made by cutting and stretching the steel plate into a diamond-shaped mesh. Plaster mesh is mainly used in the plastering works in high-rise buildings, civil buildings, workshops or warehouses, etc. The uneven surface gives it a strong adhesive force that can be tightly coupled with building materials to prevent cracks due to changes in temperature, humidity and mechanical stress. Expanded plaster mesh can be applied to concrete, brick, wood, plaster surfaces.
Expanded plaster mesh rolls.
Specifications of expanded plaster mesh
- Material:cold-rolled metal sheet.
- Surface treatment:
- Thickness of starting steel sheet:5 mm – 1.6 mm, according to the properties of the plaster mesh can be adjusted.
- Opening size (mm):15 × 7, 20 × 8, 30 × 12, 40 × 16, 45 × 17, 50 × 18.
- Roll height:0 m – 2.5 m.
- Roll length:10 m, 15 m, 20 m, 25 m, 30 m.
Features of expanded plaster mesh
- High strength with relatively light weight.
- Flame retardancy, resistance to harsh environments and water resistance.
- Easy to cut and can be bent, can be adjusted according to need.
- Strong adhesion stress, good crack resistance, shockproof.
- Durable with longer lifespan.
Applications of expanded plaster mesh
Expanded plaster mesh is mainly used for reinforcement material in commercial projects and home decorations, such as high-rise buildings, civil buildings, workshops and warehouses.
Tips:
There are several different types of plaster mesh, such as chain link mesh, chicken wire, welded wire mesh roll, fiberglass cloth, woven wire cloth and expanded plaster mesh. Here are their comparisons with expanded plaster mesh:
- Compared with the welded wire mesh roll and woven wire mesh, expanded plaster mesh has no suture, no welding, and the structure is complete and stable, which greatly reduces the work in the installation and transportation.
- In addition, unlike fiberglass cloth, expanded plaster mesh has absolute flame retardancy, durability, resistance to harsh environments and water resistance.
- Because expanded plaster mesh is made by cutting and stretching, in its production process is almost no waste, so it can save production costs, and the price is relatively lower than others.
Galvanized or Stainless Steel Expanded Metal Brick Mesh
Expanded metal brick mesh is available in galvanized or stainless steel material.
Manufactured from low carbon steel or galvanized steel, the expanded metal brick mesh is suitable for different applications and customers. Low carbon steel expanded metal brick mesh is solid but economical, it is suitable for those customers has tight budget. The galvanized steel expanded metal brick mesh has outstanding corrosion and rust resistance, which can enable the long service life of the brick mesh. Other materials, including aluminum steel and stainless steel are also available.
Similar to the expanded metal lath mesh, the expanded metal brick mesh is also a necessary material in building constructions. Expanded metal brick mesh are embedded into horizontal mortar joint of masonry walls to reinforce the base of the wall. Additional, it can avoid cracking and resist vibration. It is widely used in the large area plastering engineering as he plastering underlay.
Specifications of expanded metal brick mesh
- Material:low carbon steel, galvanized steel, aluminum steel or stainless steel.
- Thickness:35 mm – 0.5 mm.
- Mesh size:15 mm × 25 mm.
- Width:4 inches to 12 inches.
- Length:10 m – 100 m.
Features of expanded metal brick mesh
- Low carbon steel for economical and low cost.
- Galvanized steel for corrosion and rust resistance.
- Stainless steel expanded metal brick mesh for durable life and chemical stability.
- Easy to operate and need no special skills.
- Lightweight and easy to transport.
- Solid structure help to reinforce the base of the wall.
- Avoid cracking and resist vibration.
- Widely used in various plastering engineering.
Package of expanded metal brick mesh
Expanded metal brick mesh is commonly supplied in rolls and the expanded metal brick mesh rolls are packed in the cartons.
