Expanded Metal is made from sheets of

solid metal that are slit and stretched

with each stroke of the upper die,

forming a raised diamond pattern. This

pattern is called regular or standard.

The pattern varies by the gauge and

type of material and the size of the

diamond. The sheets can also be

flattened by rollers for an optional

style by passing them through a cold,

roll reducing mill.

The lightweight properties and open

area percentages of Expanded Metal

allow it to be easily formed for a

variety of energy saving applications

such as light diffusers, screens,

grilles and filters. When you add its

quality of strength to this list, you

also make it popular for panel security

enclosures, guards, fixtures and more.

Expanded Metal also can be manufactured

in heavy gauges for applications such

as walkways, ramps and catwalks of all

types. Frequently, the heavier gratings

and catwalks are used in industrial

plants for flooring and stair treads.
