2 Mesh Ceilings The Burgess By System' range of Mesh Ceilings will provide a rustic and industrial look to complement your interior designs. Choose from an almost infinite number of styles, hole sizes, sheet thicknesses and colour finishes to create a truly stunning metal ceiling system. WHAT MAKES MESH UNIQUE? Traditional Expanded Metal Mesh is basically a sheet of metal with diamond shaped holes. The holes are produced by using an expanding machine, which uses a pressured slitting and stretching process to transform solid metal sheets and coils into beautifully finished, expanded metal mesh. THE PRODUCTION PROCESS STEP 1 Sheets or coils of metal are fed into the expanding machine. Due to the decorative patterns being created by the slits and stretching, there is zero waste generated. The process for expanding metal was first patented in Hartlepool, UK in the 1880s. Despite the amount of time which has elapsed since then, the process remains true to the original idea. The process is simple but incredibly effective. STEP 2 Each machine is fitted with a unique knife, designed to create a particular pattern. Unlimited patterns, to exactlly match your design STEP 3 The machines are then programmed or manually controlled to expand the metal to exact specification. STEP 4 The unique shearing and stretching process means very little waste is created. The metal is sheared and then stretched in a single process creating the apertures and therefore expanding the metal. The mesh is then formed into one of our many ceiling systems and finished with our factory applied polyester powder-coating. Green Engineering Zero waste 38

3 COLOURS Available in any RAL colour Patterns All of our Steel Meshes are made from a variety of grades. The most common grades are Hot Rolled, Cold Reduced, Electro Zinc and Galvanised Steel. All materials can be coated using various applications, i.e. galvanising, painting, powder coating, etc. All Steel grades supplied conform to the relative quality standards / / / / / / / /4097/

7 Bespoke Designs Expanded Mesh can be supplied in a variety of finishes, thickness, raised or flattened. Flattened is smoother and does not indent soft material, however it is not as strong as the more robust raised mesh. Powder coating in your choice of colour will enhance its aesthetic appearance and add to its corrosion resistance as would plastic coating. Patterns & Shapes In addition to the traditional diamond shaped range of meshes, the expanding metal process can produce a dynamic variety of designs. Features and Benefits Expanded Metal Mesh has a diverse range of properties, which makes it so versatile and appealing, here are some of the key strengths of expanded metal mesh: Highly efficient conductor Electricity, magnetic flux and heat can all flow through expanded metal mesh, as there is a continuous connection throughout each sheet. There are no breaks or welds because the mesh has been formed from a single piece of metal. The mesh is formed from a single piece of metal Which means that there is nothing to work loose, no fretting strands or strained joins or welds. This makes expanded mesh ideal for forming and beneficial to further processing such as pressing and shearing. Higher strengthto weight ratio than sheet metal By expanding metal from its solid sheet form, additional strength is added. The uncut knuckles of expanded mesh withstand stress better than welds or joints. The process is not wasteful of material The expanding process involves slitting and stretching the metal to create holes, which means there is no waste. This provides you with direct cost savings, compared to other methods eg: perforating metals (punching out the holes), the holes are treated as waste and will incur extra cost to you. 43
