What is Aluminum?

At only 1/3 the weight of steel, aluminum has very adaptable qualities as a woven wire product. Aluminum wire mesh is highly resistant to atmospheric corrosion, reasonably priced, and it has a variety of surface treatment options that make it a good candidate for many applications. Aluminum is an excellent option for wire mesh when weight and corrosion resistance are primary concerns.

Common Grades
A1350 is the most common aluminum wire incorporated into general wire mesh.
A5052 is sometimes prescribed by Banker for demanding wire mesh patterns that may require a higher tensile strength.
Considerations When Specifying Aluminum Wire Mesh

Aluminum has a relatively low modulus of elasticity. Compared to steel wire mesh, aluminum wire mesh will suffer a higher degree of deformation at equal loads. Therefore, the physical characteristics of a mesh spacing and diameter combination in aluminum will not be comparable to that of the same in steel. To maintain the required rigidity for a particular application, it is advisable to increase wire diameter somewhat.

Quality

Banker Wire manufactures all of its products in a bare, mill finished condition. Our selected wire inventory comes from vendors that always meet Banker's high expectations for quality and consistency. Every production job records and uses raw materials that have been inspected and certified prior to manufacturing. Wire mill certificates of compliance are always available upon request free of charge.

Secondary Finishes

Banker Wire has researched a number of secondary finish processes that work well with woven and welded wire meshes. Since different materials react to varying local environments, such as bare steel rusting in wet conditions, appropriate finishes for interior and exterior applications should be considered.

Many secondary finishes can be applied to help achieve the desired color, reflectivity, or corrosion resistance characteristics required.

Important Note Regarding Color
Please note that due to the limitations and relative inconsistencies of digital displays, the original and artificially colorized photography above is intended to only be a representation of the raw materials Banker Wire uses and is not a substitution for physical samples. Banker Wire manufactures all wire mesh in a bare mill finished condition. Please always confirm size, color, and finishes of wire mesh patterns with physical samples.

Powder Coat

Powder Coating

Powder coating is a cost effective way to add an unlimited range of colors to wire mesh. Powder coating uses an electrostatic charge to attract a finley ground powder evenly across all surfaces of the wire mesh. The electrostatic charge holds the pigmented powder until it passes through an oven where it cures and adheres permanently to the wire mesh. After curing, the wire mesh has a colorful and durable coating that adds to the desired aesthetic of the project.
