Flat top screens with a one-sided plane surface have their chain and weft wires in plane position at the intersection points due to the single-sided crimp of the wire. This method generates a grid with a plane, unbroken bottom side.

General Information

Type: blank/uncoated, galvanized*,stainless steel, aluminium, copper, brass.
• Width of the grid: up to 2.200 mm
• Length of the grid: up to 5.000 mm or in roll form up to 50 m
• Dimensional tolerances in length and width: -0 mm /+1 mesh width (customary)
• On request fixed measures with tolerances of +/-2 mm in length and width

^* galvanized flat top screens are manufactured from previously galvanized wire. The zinc coating is ca. 7 µm. Galvanized flat top screens therefore are only limitedly suitable for outdoor use.

Application Areas

Flat top screens with a one-sided plane surface are used in all fields where constant mesh width and the advantage of a one-sided plane surface are required, e.g. shelves, cage bottoms, support grids for filter fabric, stackable bin walls, security and cover grids. Flat top screens are becoming more and more important as creative element in the architectural sector (e.g. as cladding for walls and ceilings.)
