Stamped expanded metal is a type of metal sheet that has been processed through a stamping and stretching technique to create a mesh-like structure. Unlike perforated metal (which has holes punched out), expanded metal is formed by cutting and expanding the material, creating a pattern of interconnected openings without waste material.

Key Features & Advantages
Strength & Rigidity – The stamped expansion process increases the sheet’s structural integrity.
Lightweight & Cost-Effective – Less material is removed compared to perforated metal, reducing waste.
Good Ventilation & Drainage – Openings allow air, light, and liquids to pass through efficiently.
Slip Resistance – The textured surface provides traction, making it ideal for walkways and stairs.
Customizable Openings – Available in standard, flattened, or decorative patterns.
Common Applications
Industrial & Construction – Flooring, catwalks, and safety grilles.
Fencing & Security – Protective enclosures, gates, and partitions.
Filtration & Screening – Used in HVAC systems, sieves, and enclosures.
Automotive & Aerospace – Grilles, engine covers, and reinforcement panels.
Architectural & Decorative Uses – Facades, room dividers, and furniture accents.
Types of Stamped Expanded Metal
Standard Expanded Metal – Raised (textured) surface for added grip.
Flattened Expanded Metal – Processed to create a smooth, flat surface.
Micro-Expanded Metal – Tiny openings for fine filtration applications.
Heavy-Duty Expanded Metal – Thicker metal for structural applications.
