Our expanded metal sheet is available in many sizes, openings, and material types. We offer expanded metal materials such as aluminum, carbon steel, galvanized steel or stainless steel. This metal sheet is uniformly slit and stretched, forming diamond-shaped openings in the sheet that allow for the passage of light, air, heat, and sound. The strands and bonds of the diamonds in the sheet add strength and rigidity. Since no metal is lost in the expanding process, expanded metal is a cost-effective alternative to perforated metal.

Standard Expanded Metal
Standard expanded metal is an extremely versatile and economical
product. It is offered in your choice of material, gauge, and
opening size. Standard expanded metal sheets are ideal when a
raised, slip-resistant surface is needed. It is available in
aluminum, carbon steel, galvanized steel, or stainless steel.
Flattened Expanded Metal
Flattened expanded metal is cold rolled through a machine that
flattens the metal after the expansion process. It is the best
choice for when a smooth surface is desired. Our stocks flattened
expanded metal in a wide variety of metal materials, thicknesses
and opening sizes.
Expanded metal grating is a strong and economical product used in a
variety of industrial, commercial, architectural, and drainage
applications. Our expanded metal gratings are used for bridge
walkways, water treatment plants, industrial plant construction,
heavy duty fence and barrier construction, utility and other
trailer manufacturing. It can be made into economical vertical
screening, fire escapes, stair treads, mezzanines, ramps, and
walkways, as well as oil and gas platforms
Application
Nowadays, expanded wire mesh is typically used for screening,
ventilating, or security as a guard. The openings permit passage of
light, air, heat, and sound, and the sheet is lightweight and easy
to fabricate and form. Decorative patterns have the same properties
and are used aesthetically. Decorative patterns may be found in
applications like retail shelving, signage, partitions, ceiling
tiles, and more.

FAQ
Q: What types of materials are made into expanded metal sheet?
A: There are many types of materials that can be made into expanded metal sheet. Aluminum expanded metal, carbon steel, galvanized steel, nickel, silver, copper, and stainless expanded metal sheets are available.
Q: Why is the percentage of open area important for expanded metal sheet?
A: The percentage of open area determines the amount of space available for the passage of air, water, and light through the expanded metal sheet. This information is important for engineers to know based on the end application for which the sheet is used.
Q: What do SWD and LWD mean in reference to expanded metal sheet?
A: SWD stands for Short Way of the Diamond and LWD stands for Long Way of the Diamond. These acronyms are used when ordering expanded metal sheet.
