DESCRIPTION

1/2-13F represents an expanded metal thickness of. 080 and a diamond opening of the short way (SWO) of. 240″ and long way of opening (LWO) of.

Flattened expanded metal is a sheet of steel that has been rolled flat to create a smooth surface with diamond-shaped openings. It’s made by passing standard expanded metal through a cold-roll reduction mill.

How it’s made

  • A sheet of metal is cut with multiple slits
  • The sheet is stretched to create a diamond pattern
  • The sheet is passed through flattening rollers to reduce its thickness and stretch the pattern

Uses

  • Machine guarding: Used for security and equipment enclosures
  • Grills: Used for charcoal trays, baskets, and food grates
  • Architectural paneling: Used for building facades and suspended ceilings
  • Filters: Used for air filtration
  • Decorative fencing: Used for screens and guard screens

Benefits

  • Flattened expanded metal is versatile and can be used for a wide variety of applications
  • It’s a safer choice for surfaces that are subject to human or animal contact
  • It’s easier to clean
Expanded Metal Orientation Notice:
 
Expanded metal sheets are manufactured from standard 48″ × 96″ sheets with the diamonds running in the 96″ direction (Long Way of Diamond / LWD).Because smaller pieces are cut from these master sheets, the diamond orientation on cut-to-size pieces may vary depending on the final dimensions. For example, sizes such as 12″ × 48″, 24″ × 48″, and 36″ × 48″ will typically have the diamonds running across the width rather than the length of the piece. If a specific diamond orientation is required for your project, please contact us before placing your order so we can verify availability and orientation requirements.
* Prices subject to change without notice due to the Metals Market fluctuations. | All ‘value length’ and ‘value pack’ item measurements are subject to a “mill tolerance”. | A product may be produced several thousandths of an inch, either over or under the stated thickness, and still be within “mill tolerance”. Since we cut the material specifically for your order, they follow these tolerances: Length: +0.125″ / -0.062” – Please note that during cutting, the blade removes about 1/16″ of material (kerf). This is a normal part of the process and is already considered within the stated tolerances.
