Product Description
Aluminum expanded metal grating is manufactured through a specialized process where solid metal sheets are slit and stretched to create a durable, open mesh pattern. This unique manufacturing method results in a product that is stronger, lighter, and more rigid than the original base metal while maintaining structural integrity.
Product Advantages
- Superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to wire mesh alternatives
- Maintains structural integrity as material remains in one continuous piece
- Enhanced durability and rigidity for industrial applications
- Excellent corrosion resistance for long service life

SWO (Short Way of the Opening)
Width of opening on shortest side of diamond (excludes strand width)
LWO (Long Way of the Opening)
Length of opening on longest side of diamond (excludes strand width)
Strand

Measurement from top surface to bottom surface of expanded metal piece
Industrial Applications
- Catwalks and industrial walkways with superior traction
- Fencing and security barriers with mechanical strength
- Drainage covers and grates allowing fluid flow
- Construction industry as metal lath for plaster and stucco support
- Architectural facades and decorative elements
- Machine guards and safety enclosures
Expanded metal grating provides excellent functionality with its open mesh design that allows free flow of air, water, and light while creating a robust mechanical barrier. The exposed edges provide enhanced traction, making it ideal for safety-critical applications like catwalks and drainage systems.
Safety Information
Freshly-cut expanded metal contains numerous exposed sharp edges. Proper safety precautions including protective clothing such as leather gloves and aprons are recommended during handling and installation to prevent skin abrasions and cuts.
