Flattened Expanded Metal – Stainless Steel, Aluminum, Carbon Steel

This is one piece of flattened expanded metal sheet with side bond and end bond shearing.

We offer you customized solutions to decorative applications.

Flattened expanded metal is expanded in its normal way, which is the same as raised expanded metal. An additional process is by passing raised expanded metal through a cold rolled reducing mill and a leveler, leaving a flat also smooth surface similar to perforated metal.

The rolling process elongates about 5% the length of the sheet while the width remains the same. Flattened expanded metal possesses many properties, making it a very versatile product suitable for applications across many industries, such as commercial, automobile and agricultural.
