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.

Expanded Metal is made from steel plates or sheets that are simultaneously slit and expanded in a cold drawn operation to form diamond shaped openings of uniform size and thickness.
