Standard, or raised, expanded metal is an extremely versatile material. It’s easy to control the percentage of open area to suit the application by altering the pattern size and/or strand width, thus increasing the flow of air or light in the finished product. Expanded metal offers a tremendous amount of formability — it’s able to withstand a 90-degree bend within a 1/4” inside radius without breaking.
Manufacturers that are concerned about minimizing operating expenses will appreciate raised expanded metal’s cost-effectiveness. The slitting and stretching process produces no scrap or waste material.
The applications and uses for raised expanded metal products are virtually endless. Examples include:
Architectural infill panels
equipment enclosures
