Carbon Steel Diamond Mesh Shape Galvanized Expanded Metal Sheet For
Architectural Interior Partitions And Barriers
Product Description
Expanded metal products consist of sheets or coils of solid metal that feature a
diamond pattern that varies by gauge, type of material, and
size of the diamond. The term “expanded metal” refers to the way
the metal is simultaneously die-cut and expanded as it moves
through the progressive dies on a press. This process allows it to
be expanded up to 10 times its original size while losing up to 80
percent of its original weight per square foot and retaining its
form and rigidity.

Product Detail
Application
Nowadays, expanded wire mesh is typically used for screening,
ventilating, or security as a guard. The openings permit passage of
light, air, heat, and sound, and the sheet is lightweight and easy
to fabricate and form. Decorative patterns have the same properties
and are used aesthetically. Decorative patterns may be found in
applications like retail shelving, signage, partitions, ceiling
tiles, and more.

FAQ
Q: What types of materials are made into expanded metal sheet?
A: There are many types of materials that can be made into expanded
metal sheet. Aluminum expanded metal, carbon steel, galvanized
steel, nickel, silver, copper, and stainless expanded metal sheets
are available.
Q: Why is the percentage of open area important for expanded metal
sheet?
A: The percentage of open area determines the amount of space
available for the passage of air, water, and light through the
expanded metal sheet. This information is important for engineers
to know based on the end application for which the sheet is used.
Q: What are common applications for expanded metal?
A: Expanded metal is extremely diverse. One example of a common
application is security mesh for the protection of industrial
machinery and electrical equipment, or unwanted access to
restricted areas. Some other applications for this include railing
mesh, fences, vents, and shelves. Heavy carbon steel expanded metal
can be used as stair treads for oil tanks, working platforms,
corridors and walkways. It is also used in the construction of
roads, bridges, railways, ramps, and steel flooring.
Q: Why is expanded metal commonly used?
A: The many small openings in the expanded metal material allow
flow through of air, water, and light, while still providing a
mechanical barrier to larger objects. Another advantage to using
expanded metal as opposed to plain sheet metal is that the exposed
edges of the expanded metal provide more traction, which has led to
its use in catwalks or drainage covers.
