Hot Dipped Galvanized Standard Expanded Metal Sheet For Architectural Infill Panels
The Benefits of Hot Dipped Galvanized Standard Expanded Metal For Architectural Infill Panels
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.
Flattened expanded metal is an extremely versatile product that is created by making multiple slits in a sheet of metal, then stretching the sheet to produce a unique diamond pattern. This variation of the standard expanded metal manufacturing process involves flattening the sheet by passing it through flattening rolls, a technique known as “cold rolling.” This produces thin, expanded metal sheets and stretches the pattern even further, while also providing a smoother, flatter finish.
