Product Description

Expanded Metal is an extraordinarily versatile material - one with thousands of uses. It comes in four basic types, and it has four primary areas of application.
Basic types are raised (or standard), flattened and architectural (or decorative) meshes. The major areas of use are for enclosure, protection, support and decoration.
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.
Standard Expanded Metal: Expanded metal as it comes off the machine. The strands and bonds are set at a uniform angle to the plane of the sheet. This adds strength and rigidity, allows air circulation, and distributes the load on the metal to the supporting frames as well as making a skid resistant surface.
