Expanded Metal
Carbon Steel Expanded Sheet A36 is a durable, one-piece construction metal that resists unraveling over time, even under heavy stress. It is ideal for industrial screens, flooring, and safety guards where durability and structural integrity are essential.
Expanded Metal offers a lightweight, open structure that allows for free flow of light, liquids, sound, and air, making it perfect for filtration systems, ventilation panels, and enclosures. Its strength-to-weight ratio supports both function and efficiency.
Steel Expanded Metal delivers an attractive decorative appearance while maintaining its load-bearing capabilities. Its diamond-shaped pattern and slip-resistant surface make it suitable for fencing, shelving, ramps, and ornamental features.
Expanded Metal is created by slitting and stretching a metal sheet to form a mesh of diamond-shaped openings. This process enhances the sheet’s strength, surface area, and grip, making it useful in catwalks, grating, machine guards, and protective panels.
