Types of Chalco Aluminum Wire Mesh Products
-
Woven Aluminum Wire Mesh
Manufactured in plain, twill, or Dutch weave, woven aluminum wire mesh offers flexible structure, uniform openings, and good air/liquid permeability. It is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and widely used in filtration, sieving, and insect screening. Also includes square aluminum mesh, the most common woven style, ideal for general screening and fencing.
-
Welded Aluminum Wire Mesh
Formed by resistance welding at each intersection, welded aluminum mesh delivers strong rigidity, dimensional stability, and impact resistance. It is ideal for fencing, machine guards, protective partitions, and industrial safety protection.
-
Expanded Aluminum Mesh
Produced by slitting and stretching aluminum sheets into diamond or hexagonal openings, expanded aluminum mesh combines lightweight structure with high strength. It is commonly used for architectural facades, anti-slip walkways, ventilation covers, and decorative panels.
-
Aluminum Hardware Cloth
A square-hole woven mesh with small apertures, aluminum hardware cloth — often referred to as square aluminum mesh — is easy to cut and shape. It is lightweight, rust-resistant, and commonly applied in garden protection, animal cages, chicken coops, and DIY projects.
-
Decorative & Perforated Aluminum Mesh
Decorative and perforated aluminum mesh integrates functionality with aesthetics, available in multiple hole patterns and surface finishes. It is suitable for curtain walls, interior partitions, exhibition displays, and other architectural decoration projects.

Features & Advantages of Aluminum Wire Mesh
- Lightweight & Strong — Aluminum wire mesh offers a high strength-to-weight ratio. It is easy to handle, transport and install, making it a preferred option over heavier metals.
- Excellent Corrosion Resistance — Unlike steel, aluminum mesh naturally resists rust and oxidation, ensuring long service life in outdoor, marine and humid environments.
- Easy Forming & Cutting — Soft and ductile aluminum mesh wire can be woven, welded, expanded, or perforated. It is also easy to cut and shape for custom projects.
- Ventilation & Conductivity — The open structure provides good airflow and light transmission, while aluminum wire mesh roll is also effective in EMI/RFI shielding applications.
- Cost-Effective Alternative — Compared with stainless steel wire mesh, aluminum wire mesh panels are lighter, easier to process and often more economical for large projects.
- Wide Size Options — Chalco supplies aluminum wire mesh sizes from 2 mesh to 200 mesh, with wire diameters and openings customizable to project needs.

FAQs About Aluminum Wire Mesh
What is aluminum wire mesh?
Aluminum wire mesh is a lightweight and corrosion-resistant woven, welded, or expanded mesh made from aluminum wire. It is widely used for filtration, screening, fencing, insect screens, decoration, and EMI shielding.
What is the difference between woven and welded aluminum wire mesh?
Woven aluminum wire mesh is produced by interlacing wires over and under each other, suitable for fine mesh and filtration. Welded aluminum wire mesh uses welding at the cross points, ideal for structural protection, fencing, and flooring applications.
Is aluminum wire mesh rust-proof?
Yes. Unlike steel mesh, aluminum wire mesh naturally resists oxidation and corrosion, making it suitable for outdoor, marine, and humid environments.
What are common aluminum wire mesh sizes?
Mesh counts range from 2 to 200, wire diameter from 0.08 mm to 3.0 mm, and opening size from 0.07 mm to 11 mm. Supply forms include aluminum wire mesh roll, panels, sheets, and custom shapes.
Aluminum vs stainless steel wire mesh – which to choose?
Aluminum wire mesh is lighter, easier to cut and form, and usually more economical. Stainless steel mesh offers higher strength and temperature resistance, but is heavier and more costly. For lightweight construction, insect screens, or EMI shielding, aluminum mesh is often preferred.
Can Chalco provide both raw wire and finished mesh?
Yes. Chalco supplies aluminum wire in multiple alloys (1100, 1350, 5052, 5154, 6061, 3003) and delivers finished aluminum woven mesh, welded mesh, expanded mesh, and decorative mesh in rolls or panels.
What is "Mesh"? How to understand the mesh number?
Mesh refers to the number of openings per inch (25.4 mm). For example, 10 mesh means 10 openings per inch. The larger the mesh number, the denser the openings and the smaller the aperture size.
How is the opening size calculated?
The formula is: Opening size = (25.4 ÷ mesh count) – wire diameter. Example: For 10 mesh with 0.6 mm wire, opening ≈ 2.94 mm, open area ≈ 72%.
Do you support custom aluminum wire mesh sizes?
Yes. Chalco can customize mesh count, wire diameter, roll width, sheet size, and surface treatment to meet specific project requirements.
How is aluminum wire mesh packaged for export?
- Aluminum wire: coil winding + anti-rust film + label + wrapping film
- Aluminum wire mesh roll: Kraft paper + wrapping film + plastic shaft core
- Aluminum wire mesh panels: corner reinforcement + cushioning + pallet or plywood box
Can I buy both aluminum wire raw materials and mesh products together?
Yes. Chalco provides one-stop supply of aluminum wire and aluminum wire mesh, ensuring stable quality, fast delivery, and convenient procurement.
Are there other aluminum wire mesh applications beyond filtration and fencing?
Yes. In addition to common uses, Chalco also provides specialized aluminum wire mesh products for construction, decoration, and industrial projects. Some examples include:
-
Aluminum filter roll
High mesh count with micro wire diameter, flexible and permeable; widely used in air filtration, water treatment, and ventilation systems.
