Flattened Expanded Metal Mesh– Lightweight & Smooth Surface

Flattened expanded metal is what results when standard expanded metal is put through a cold rolling steel mill to flatten the expanded metal out. During the rolling process, the expanded metal becomes thinner and longer. As a result, flattened expanded metal his flatter and lighter. In actual applications, flattened expanded metal is mostly used in applications requiring lightweight, flexible expanded metal that offers certain strength and durability, such as shelves, window guards, greenhouse benches and dry safety walls.

Our flattened expanded metal products come in a variety of high quality metal materials, hole patterns and mesh openings to ensure they are perfectly suited to different industrial applications.

Specification

Material: carbon steel, stainless steel, copper, brass, aluminum, nickel alloy, other alloys.
Surface treatment: galvanized, powder coated, PVC coated, etc.
Hole patterns: diamond, oval, hexagonal and some decorative holes. We help design non-standard patterns to meet your applications.
