The diversity of Expamet’s range is matched by its quality. Among other items, they supply superior wind posts, masonry supports, fixings, straps, wall starter ties, bead, brackets and, of course, the metal mesh that started it all. Plasterers’ accessories include skim-coated and multi-coated plaster beads for external and internal use respectively, crack control mesh and different laths.

Their trademark Hy-Rib expanded metal sheet products have been used for over 80 years and were specifically developed to be used as permanent formwork to concrete, and encompass thick wall, thin wall, permanent slab soffit, single-sided and double-faced formwork and construction joints. Their open mesh combined with special Hy-Rib tangs allows dense concrete development.

Restraint straps, joist hangers, fixings and timber connectors all feature in Expamet’s range of builders’ metalwork, and the selection of wall ties are, in a word, impressive. Symmetrical cavity, asymmetrical cavity, movement and symmetrical flatties, along with wall starters, frame cramps and bed joint reinforcements are all available so you should be able to find the perfect product for every project.
