Anping Xinye Metal Wire Mesh Products Co., Ltd, based in Hengshui, Hebei, China, is a reliable manufacturer of expanded metal sheets. Our 4x8ft Expanded Metal Sheets with a 1/2" x 1" diamond pattern and 16 gauge thickness are designed for durability and versatility. Each sheet comes with a 1-year warranty and a Mill Test Report to ensure material traceability and quality. Ideal for industrial, construction, and architectural applications, these sheets offer a cost-effective solution for safety barriers, walkways, and decorative mesh.
The expanded metal manufacturing process involves slitting and stretching a solid metal sheet, creating a uniform diamond pattern without any welds or joints. This results in a lightweight yet strong structure that resists slipping and provides excellent ventilation. Our 16 gauge (approximately 1.6mm) material ensures a balance between strength and flexibility, while the 1/2" x 1" diamond opening allows for efficient drainage and visibility.
Key Features & Benefits
- High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Expanded metal is stronger than wire mesh of similar weight, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications.
- Slip-Resistant Surface: The raised diamond pattern provides excellent traction, even in wet or oily conditions – perfect for catwalks and stair treads.
- Easy to Fabricate & Install: Can be cut, bent, welded, or fastened using standard tools. Suitable for custom shapes and sizes.
- Uniform Openings: Consistent diamond pattern ensures predictable airflow, light transmission, and drainage.
- 1-Year Warranty: We stand behind the quality of our product. In case of manufacturing defects, we offer a replacement or refund.
- Mill Test Report Included: Material chemistry and mechanical properties are documented for your quality assurance and project compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What does "Mill Test Report" mean?
A: A Mill Test Report (MTR) is a quality document that certifies the chemical composition and mechanical properties of the metal. It is provided with each shipment for traceability.
Q2: Can I cut the sheet to a custom size?
A: Yes, the expanded metal can be cut with standard tools (e.g., angle grinder, plasma cutter, or shears) to fit your project. We also offer custom cutting services upon request.
Q3: Is this product suitable for outdoor use?
A: The mill finish is uncoated and may rust in outdoor environments. For outdoor applications, we recommend galvanized or painted versions, which are available as options.
Q4: What is the weight of one 4x8 sheet?
A: Approximate weight for a 16 gauge expanded metal sheet with 1/2" x 1" diamond pattern is about 50-60 lbs (23-27 kg). Exact weight may vary slightly based on material density.
Q5: How long is the warranty period?
A: All our expanded metal sheets come with a 1-year warranty covering manufacturing defects. Please refer to our warranty policy for details.
Q6: Can I get a sample before placing a bulk order?
A: Yes, sample sheets are available. Please contact our sales team to arrange a sample – we can provide a small piece (e.g., 12"x12") for evaluation.
Q7: What is the pattern orientation? Does it matter?
A: The diamond pattern is oriented with the long way of the diamond (1 inch) running the length of the sheet. This is standard for most applications and provides optimal strength in the long direction.
Q8: Is the expanded metal safe for walking on?
A: Yes, the raised diamond pattern provides excellent slip resistance. However, for heavy traffic or load-bearing walkways, please ensure the support structure is adequate. The 16 gauge sheet is suitable for pedestrian use.
