Flattened Expanded Metal
Flattened expanded metal is the same product as Standard Expanded Metal, but has been cold rolled by a flattening roll machine to give it a smooth flat surface. The Flattening reduces the thickness (gauge) of the material and bonds it down creating Flat Expanded Metal. As with the Standard Expanded, this material is used in many fields: security, Power stations, Machine guards, and storage. It is available in Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Aluminum, and many other Alloys. See which item best fills your requirements.
