Expanded Metal
Expanded metal is created by slitting and stretching sheet or coil into a strong weld-free mesh with controlled openings for ventilation, visibility, drainage and architectural expression.
Technical Introduction
Expanded metal forms a continuous mesh without welded joints. It combines strength, ventilation, light transmission, drainage and durability while allowing wide material choices and project-specific geometry, dimensions and finishes.
The same manufacturing logic supports architectural façades, ceilings and interiors, as well as engineering access, fencing, machine protection, construction products and industrial filtration.
Expanded Metal Types
Raised expanded metal keeps the original three-dimensional strand profile created during the slitting and stretching process.
Flattened expanded metal is processed after expansion to create a smoother, flatter sheet profile.
Architectural mesh selected for visual rhythm, transparency, lighting integration and custom finishes.
Heavy-duty raised mesh for access flooring, industrial platforms and stair applications.
Available Materials
High strength and economical; coating can be applied for corrosion protection.
Zinc-coated steel designed for improved corrosion resistance.
High corrosion resistance, impact resistance and long service life.
Lightweight, corrosion resistant and suitable for architectural applications.
Decorative material with high thermal and electrical conductivity.
Suitable for specialized industrial applications.
Excellent strength-to-weight ratio and exceptional corrosion resistance.
Technical Terminology
These terms define the geometry used when specifying expanded metal sheets, panels and grating.
