Flattened expanded metal
Standard expanded mesh passed through a precision cold-rolling mill to flatten raised strands into a smooth, level plane while retaining the structural diamond pattern.
Raised strands flattened into a level plane for direct contact safety.
Even surface engineered for uniform powder coating, priming, and painting.
Maintains standard structural rigidity, light filtration, and airflow.

Surface characteristic: Flattened & smooth profile
Cold-rolled through flattening mills after expanding to produce a smooth, flat sheet with flush bond junctions. This eliminates raised diamond edges, providing a safe, touchable surface ideal for public architectural touchpoints, cabinet inserts, and laser-flat framing.
