Product overview
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).

In industrial production, there is a lot of waste. However, expanded metal solves the problem well. It is more economical because porous metal sheets are made by cutting and stretching metal sheets with dies to form holes of different shapes in one step. Due to the form from a piece of metal, there are no welds or weak points, which make its structure sounder than other type metals.
For protection, it with high strength used as fences, railings, guards and grills, covers.
For partition, used at homes, in offices and outdoors and indoors of various structures to make good use of space.
For decoration, used as stair and walkway railings at homes, facades, etc.
For screening and filtering, with accurate sizes used as screens in oil industry, sand & gravel plants and as filters in the gas vent of vehicle or drilling for oil.
For ventilation and heat dissipation, with larger openings used as flooring in places a high requirement on ventilation and heat dissipation, such as equipment rooms.

FAQ
Because it is formed from one continuous sheet, there are no welded joints to fail. The strands and knuckles are integral, so loads distribute through the whole panel.
Fluorocarbon (PVDF) spraying offers the best UV and weather resistance for facades — typically 15–20 years. Powder coating is a cost-effective alternative for sheltered locations.
