Expanded Metal is a type of metal mesh created by cutting and stretching a flat sheet of metal, resulting in a series of interconnected diamond-shaped openings. This process enhances the material's strength while reducing its weight, making it a popular choice for various applications, including fencing, grating, and architectural features. The versatility of Expanded Metal allows it to be used in numerous industries, such as construction, automotive, and manufacturing. It can be made from different metals, including steel, aluminum, and stainless steel, providing options for durability and corrosion resistance based on specific project needs.
