Standard Expanded Metal is one of the most economical and versatile products available. Expanded Metal is offered in various materials, gauges, and diamond sizes.

Standard Expanded Metal is sheet metal that has been slit and expanded up to ten times its original width. The formation of the diamond-shaped pattern adds to the strength and rigidity of the sheet. This material offers savings in weight and metal, free passage of light and air, and a decorative or ornamental effect

Standard Expanded Metal is a finished product as it comes from the press after having been die cut and expanded. Ideal for safety guards on equipment or machinery. Expanded metal products are the most versatile you will find for almost any industrial or commercial application. These products allow excellent control of light and circulation of air. They also provide clear visibility in such applications as overhead walkways, maintenance platforms and other areas where visible security might be necessary.

Standard Expanded Metal or Regular Expanded Metal is a finished product, which is simultaneously slit and stretched by a press to form a piece construction. Expanded Metal exhibits a high weight to strength ratio, and is often used to protect people or machines by stopping a specific size material from entering a specific area. All Metals such as Stainless Steel Alloys, Aluminum, Steel, Titanium, & Copper, can all be expanded for various uses including enclosures, support, protection, decoration or filtration.

Cleaning - Carbon expanded metal is lightly oiled and should be cleaned before finishing. The most common cleaning method is an acid or solvent bath with a water rinse. For aluminum, use a non-etching chemical or detergent, then rinse and dry thoroughly.

Anodizing - A surface treatment for aluminum where an oxide coating is added electrochemically to the metal. For interior abrasion resistance a .0025" coating is necessary. Medium abrasion applications for interior or maintained exteriors need a .0004" coating. Use a .0008" coating for exteriors.
Porcelain Enamel - Porcelain enamels can be readily applied to expanded metal. Forming, cutting, welding and drilling should be done before applying the finish. All surfaces should be covered.
Painting, Lacquering, Plastic Coating - Be sure the coating used has good surface tension or wetting properties and viscosity to prevent any pullback from metal edges and webbing-in of diamonds
