Industrial Expanded Metal

  < Back to Products  

Material Data – Carbon Steel | Stainless Steel | Aluminum


Expanded metal mesh products are produced from solid sheets or plates of carbon, galvanized steel and stainless steel, as well as aluminum and a variety of alloys of copper, nickel, silver, titanium and other metals. Because expanded metal is made from a solid sheet of metal, it can never unravel. The metal strands forming the open diamonds permit light, heat, air, liquids and sound to pass through – yet present a virtually un-penetrable barrier to intruders. Expanded metal mesh is an extraordinary, versatile material – one with thousands of uses.

The Low Cost of Expanded Metals

In the expanding process, the sheet or plate is simultaneously slit and stretched – expanding the slits into diamond shaped holes of uniform size and shape. No metal is lost in the expanding process. Expanded metal is a great low-cost alternative to perforated metal.
