Explore the Key Features of Standard Expanded Metal

Discover the exceptional qualities of our Standard Expanded Metal, meticulously crafted to deliver unparalleled performance and durability. Each feature is designed to provide significant benefits, ensuring optimal results for your projects. We focus on quality and precision.

Expanded metal is a versatile type of metal characterized by its diamond-shaped patterns created through a slitting and stretching process. This method enhances its structural integrity, making it popular in various applications. The most common form is raised expanded metal, known for its three-dimensional surface and uniform angle bonds that add strength and rigidity. Its unique properties provide excellent ventilation and drainage, ensuring durability and wear resistance, making it ideal for grates, screens, and other uses in both commercial and residential settings.

We feature stainless steel raised expanded metal products as well as other high-quality materials, including carbon steel, galvanized steel, and aluminum. All of our materials meet the rigorous EMMA Standard 557 and ASTM F-1267 to ensure the best possible performance and durability. Carbon steel expanded metal offers a cost-effective solution for various applications. It’s known for its strength and versatility in construction and industrial settings. Stainless steel expanded metal is perfect for environments requiring high hygiene and corrosion resistance. It ensures durability and longevity in demanding applications. Aluminum expanded metal provides a smooth surface, ideal for decorative panels and lightweight structures. It combines aesthetics with functional performance.

Standard, or raised, expanded metal is an extremely versatile material. It’s easy to control the percentage of open area to suit the application by altering the pattern size and/or strand width, thus increasing the flow of air or light in the finished product. Expanded metal offers a tremendous amount of formability, it’s able to withstand a 90-degree bend within a 1/4” inside radius without breaking.

The applications and uses for raised expanded metal products are virtually endless. Examples include:

  • Metal grates
  • Security fencing, walls, and doors
  • Racks and shelving
  • Strainers
  • Architectural infill panels
  • Satellite and radar antennas
  • HVAC systems
  • Partitions and equipment enclosures
  • Speaker grilles
  • Wind and machine guards
  • EMI/RFI shielding
  • Fluid and air filters
