Expanded Metal is a strong and versatile metal sheet manufactured by slitting and stretching solid metal into a mesh-like pattern. This unique structure provides excellent strength, airflow, and visibility, making it ideal for safety-related and functional applications. Expanded metal is widely used in industrial, commercial, and construction environments where protection, ventilation, and durability are required without completely blocking airflow or light.
