Expanded Metal
Expanded metal mesh for walkways, screens and architecture
Expanded metal is produced by simultaneously slitting and stretching a steel sheet, creating a one-piece diamond-pattern mesh with no welds and no waste. It is used for walkways and platforms, machine guards, ventilation screens, architectural façades and security grilles.
