Expanded sheet metal is a versatile and economical product. As the name suggests, expanded sheet is made from a single sheet of metal that has been uniformly slit and then stretched (expanded) to form diamond-shaped openings in the meet.
 
Expanded metal sheet offers one-piece construction that won’t unravel and, under normal circumstances, and will hold its shape for many years. The strands and bonds of the diamond-shaped trusses add strength and rigidity. Expanded sheet metal is available in standard (raised) or flattened diamond patterns, in a variety of gauges, opening sizes, and sheet sizes.
