STAINLESS STEEL EXPANDED METAL

Steel Expanded Metal is a sheet product that has been slit and stretched to a wide array of diamond shaped openings. Steel Expanded Metal offers savings in weight and metal, free passage of light, liquid, sound and air, while providing a decorative or ornamental effect. Expanded Metal sheets are made from solid sheets or coil. A machine then pierces and stretches the sheet into an open diamond pattern.

Expanded metal sheets come in two common types: raised and flattened. Raised sheets have wavy ridges throughout, whereas flattened sheet are truly flat. Expanded metal is commonly used to guard entry to an area or object or as a barrier, but still allow the free passing of liquids and gases.
