Overview
What is Decorative Expanded Metal?
Expanded metal is made by cutting and stretching a metal sheet with dies to form holes of different shapes in one step. Formed from a single piece of metal, it has no welds or weak points, giving a sounder structure than other mesh types — and less material waste, so it is highly economical.
Expanded metal serves protection (fences, railings, guards, grilles, covers), partition (homes, offices, indoor and outdoor structures), decoration (stair and walkway railings, facades), screening and filtering (oil industry, sand and gravel plants, vehicle gas vents) and ventilation or heat dissipation (equipment room flooring).
