Flattened Expanded Metal

Description

Flattened Expanded Metal

Emirerri Steel is a trusted name in manufacturing and supplying Flattened Expanded Metal, a high-performance material suitable for a variety of industrial, architectural, and security applications. With its smooth surface and superior strength, Flattened Expanded Metal is the ideal choice for projects that demand both functionality and aesthetics.

Flattened Expanded Metal is produced by taking standard expanded metal and passing it through a cold rolling mill to flatten the strands and bonds, resulting in a smooth, even surface. This process enhances the material’s appearance, makes it easier to handle, and provides a uniform thickness. Flattened Expanded Metal is highly versatile and suitable for a wide range of applications, including fencing, security screens, grating, walkways, platforms, architectural facades, machine guards, and decorative panels.

Key Features of Flattened Expanded Metal

1. Smooth Finish: Achieved through cold-rolling, ensuring safety and an aesthetically pleasing appearance.
2. Durable and Lightweight: Combines robust structural integrity with reduced weight for easy installation and handling.
3. Corrosion Resistance: Suitable for harsh environments when treated with protective finishes.
4. Cost-Effective: High strength-to-weight ratio reduces material costs without sacrificing performance.
5. Customizable: Tailored mesh sizes, gauges, and finishes to suit specific applications.
6. Eco-Friendly: Made from recyclable materials, supporting sustainable practices.
