Where Standard (Raised) Expanded Metal Is Used

  • Industrial access: expanded steel walkways, platforms and stair treads.
  • Machine & window guards: rigid, see-through expanded metal guards.
  • Filtration: support cores and grease filter layers.
  • Construction: plaster reinforcement and partitions.

How to Specify Standard (Raised) Expanded Metal

  • Pattern: SWD × LWD (short and long way of diamond), strand width and thickness.
  • Raised or flattened: Raised gives grip and stiffness; flattened gives a smooth face.
  • Material: Carbon, galvanized, stainless steel or aluminum.

Materials

Standard supply is stainless steel 304, stainless steel 316/316L; the material column in the table and the drawing options show the exact grade for each size. Other alloys and finishes can be quoted to your drawing.

Fitting & Care

  • Span the long way of the diamond across supports for maximum strength.
  • Band or frame cut edges, which are sharp.

Common Mistakes

  • Loading the short way of the diamond.
  • Using raised mesh where a flat surface is needed.

When Standard (Raised) Expanded Metal Is Not the Right Choice

Not a precision filter medium — the diamond opening is not controlled to filtration tolerances.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Standard (Raised) Expanded Metal used for?

Walkways, guards, filter supports and screens made from expanded metal mesh — sheet slit and stretched into diamond openings with no welds or joints, so it cannot unravel.

What is expanded metal mesh?

Sheet metal slit and stretched into a diamond mesh in one piece, without welds.

Expanded steel or welded mesh?

Expanded metal is one piece and stronger per weight; welded mesh gives square openings.

Can expanded metal be stainless steel?

Yes — expanded stainless steel, aluminum and galvanized are common.
