FAQ

## Expanded Metal: questions buyers ask

**What is expanded metal used for?**

Expanded metal is used for machine guards, window security screens, walkways and catwalks, stair treads, fencing, plaster lath, shelving and decorative ceilings or facades. It suits jobs that need strength, airflow and grip in one sheet.

**How is expanded metal made?**

A metal sheet is slit in staggered rows and stretched, which opens the cuts into diamond-shaped holes. No material is removed and nothing is welded, so the sheet stays one piece and is lighter per square metre than the solid sheet.

**What is the difference between expanded metal and perforated sheet?**

Expanded metal is slit and stretched, giving diamond openings and a slightly raised surface with no wasted metal. Perforated sheet is punched, giving round, square or patterned holes on a flat sheet. Expanded metal usually allows more open area.

**What is the difference between raised and flattened expanded metal?**

Raised (standard) expanded metal keeps the strands at an angle after stretching, which gives grip and stiffness. Flattened expanded metal is rolled after expansion to give a smooth, flat surface for guards, panels and cladding.
