Expanded Metal Stretch Mesh from China manufacturer

Expanded Metal is made by slitting and stretching metal sheets to create diamond-shaped openings. This practical and versatile product line forms screens, window security panels, machine guards, and more. Decorative Expanded items are popular in shelving, signage, and ceiling tile applications. Expanded Metal is supplied in a Standard (Raised) diamond pattern or a Flattened variety, and materials include Aluminum, Carbon Steel, Galvanized Steel, and Stainless Steel. Expanded Metal Grating and Catwalk Grating are also part of our vast in-stock selection. Numerous gauges, opening sizes, and sheet sizes provide endless options that will surely fit your project requirements!

Package

1. Metal-saving, highly efficient manufacturing process. Compared to similar metal products (such as perforated metal that requires stamping rather than cutting and stretching the metal), expanded metal fabrication produces no metal waste.

2. Lightweight. Both flat metal and expanded metal are thin and lightweight.

3. Low maintenance costs. Metal grilles are easy and convenient to maintain and usually come with a rust-proof protective coating

4. Indoor and outdoor applications. Expanded metal mesh is widely used in both indoor and outdoor environments, increasing the versatility of this metal product.

5. Reinforcement. Expanded metal mesh can be combined with glass, concrete, and other materials to increase strength.

6. High tensile strength. Compared to woven metal or welded joints, expanded metal mesh can withstand greater weight and better stress.

7. Free flow of air and light. The expanded metal allows for the free flow of air and light. Liquids, dust, grease, and other substances can also pass through freely.

8. Enhanced acoustics and sound insulation properties. Expanded metal mesh can be used in microphones and speakers, and also as an additional layer for sound insulation in rooms and walls.
