Uruguay's manufacturing sector, particularly in the coastal regions near Montevideo, faces significant challenges due to high humidity and saline air. This environment necessitates the use of galvanised metal mesh lath to prevent premature corrosion in building facades and structural reinforcements.
The agricultural and livestock machinery industry in Uruguay relies heavily on robust flooring and guarding. The integration of carbon steel expanded mesh has become a standard for creating slip-resistant platforms that can withstand heavy loads in harsh rural environments.
Currently, there is a shift toward lightweight, high-strength materials in the urban development of Punta del Este. Architects are increasingly specifying aluminium expanded panels to balance modern aesthetics with the necessary resistance to coastal weathering.
