Part#: SSXM1216 Category
DESCRIPTION

Standard expanded steel is a sheet metal with a raised, diamond-shaped pattern. It’s also known as raised expanded metal or regular expanded metal.

Features

  • The diamond-shaped openings are slightly raised
  • The sheet has increased rigidity
  • The surface is rough to the touch
  • The strands and bonds are set at a uniform angle to the plane of the sheet

Uses

Screens, Window security panels, Machine guards, Shelving, Signage, Ceiling tile applications, Fencing, Filters, Grills, and Guard screens.

Materials Aluminum, Carbon steel, Galvanized steel, and Stainless steel.

Production

  • The unique raised pattern of diamond-shaped openings is created by slitting and stretching the sheet metal
  • The strands and bonds are set at a uniform angle to the plane of the sheet

Other types of expanded metal

  • Flattened expanded metal, where the strands have been cold rolled to bring them into one plane, thus providing a flat surface
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 are subject to change without notice due to fluctuations in the metals market. | All “Value Length” and “Value Pack” item measurements are subject to standard mill tolerances. | Products may be manufactured several thousandths of an inch over or under the stated dimensions and still be within acceptable mill tolerances. All bar, tube, structural, pipe, sheet, plate, and similar products sold on our website are custom cut to the lengths and sizes selected by the customer at the time of purchase. These are not stocked as pre-cut items. Because each order is cut specifically to customer specifications, all cut materials are considered custom products and are not eligible for cancellation, return, or exchange once production has begun. Our standard cutting tolerances are:

  • Length: +0.125″ / -0.062″
  • During the cutting process, the saw blade removes approximately 1/16″ (kerf) of material. This is a normal part of the manufacturing process and is already included within the stated cutting tolerances.
