Flattened Expanded Metal

Expanded-Metal-flattened Flattened Expanded Metal Products

Flattened expanded metal is an extremely versatile product that is created by making multiple slits in a sheet of metal, then stretching the sheet to produce a unique diamond pattern. This variation of the standard expanded metal manufacturing process involves flattening the sheet by passing it through flattening rolls, a technique known as “cold rolling.” This produces thin, expanded metal sheets and stretches the pattern even further, while also providing a smoother, flatter finish.

Benefits of Flattened Expanded Metal

Flattened or cold-rolled expanded metal offers many of the advantages of standard expanded metal, such as versatility, a wide variety of opening sizes, low maintenance, and cost-effectiveness. The fact that flattened expanded metal is typically about five percent lighter than standard expanded metal makes it suitable for applications that require a nimbler and more agile product that still offers the necessary strength and durability.

Examples of Flattened Expanded Metal Uses and Applications

Flattened expanded metal has a wide range of industrial applications. It is frequently used by architects in the design of ornamental accents such as wall partitions or garage screening. Flattened expanded metal fabrications can also be incorporated into the design of fencing and security partitions. Additionally, it has many household applications, such as outdoor patio furniture.

The excellent airflow allowed by the design of flattened expanded metal makes it an excellent choice in the manufacturing of grilles and vents. Retailers can make use of flattened expanded metal for lightweight store fixtures.
