Industrial Expanded Metal

Material Data – Carbon Steel | Stainless Steel | Aluminum


Expanded Metal products are produced from solid sheets or plates of carbon, galvanized 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 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 for perforated metal.
