Description
Expanded metals are versatile and durable metal sheets that undergo a process of cutting and stretching to create a pattern of diamond-shaped openings or holes. This results in a mesh-like structure with various thicknesses and open areas. Expanded metals offer excellent strength-to-weight ratios, making them ideal for applications that require rigidity and ventilation while keeping the weight low. They find use in industries such as construction, architecture, automotive, and filtration, as well as in safety and security applications like fencing and barriers. The expanded metal design allows for better airflow and light penetration, making it suitable for grating, walkways, and sunshades. Additionally, they can be formed into various shapes to suit specific needs, making them a popular choice for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.
