As a leading manufacturer from Anping Xinye Metal Wire Mesh Products Co., Ltd in Hengshui, Hebei, China, we are proud to present our Carbon Steel Expanded Metal Flattened 3mm Strand 18x6mm Opening 1.2x2.4m Sheet. This product combines the inherent strength of carbon steel with a precise diamond mesh pattern that has been flattened to offer a smooth, slip-resistant surface ideal for a wide range of industrial and architectural applications. Our years of experience in metal mesh production ensure consistent quality, tight tolerances, and reliable performance for your projects.
Each sheet is manufactured from high-quality low-carbon steel, expanded and flattened to create a uniform 3mm strand thickness with 18x6mm openings. The resulting panel measures 1.2 meters by 2.4 meters, providing a large coverage area that simplifies installation and reduces waste. Whether you need durable walkways, secure enclosures, or efficient grating, this expanded metal sheet delivers outstanding strength-to-weight ratio, easy fabrication, and long service life.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
- Material Strength: Made from carbon steel (Q235 equivalent), offering excellent tensile strength and impact resistance suitable for heavy-duty use.
- Flattened Surface: The expanded mesh is passed through a rolling mill to flatten the strands, reducing sharp edges and providing a smooth, even surface that is safer to touch and easier to clean.
- Diamond Opening Design: 18mm x 6mm openings (long way of diamond = 18mm, short way = 6mm) allow for light passage, air circulation, and drainage while maintaining structural integrity.
- Consistent Thickness: 3mm strand thickness ensures rigidity without excessive weight, making handling and installation straightforward.
- Standard Sheet Size: 1.2m x 2.4m (4ft x 8ft) – a versatile dimension that fits common framing and supports.
- Corrosion Protection: As standard carbon steel, the product is supplied in its natural mill finish. For enhanced durability in outdoor or corrosive environments, we offer optional hot-dip galvanizing, powder coating, or painting (available upon request).

Advantages & Customer Benefits
- Enhanced Safety: The flattened surface removes sharp burrs, reducing injury risk during handling and in final installations such as walkways or platforms.
- Versatile Applications: Ideal for use as machine guards, security grilles, shelving, filters, ventilation panels, architectural facades, and stair treads.
- Easy Fabrication: Can be cut, welded, bent, or formed with standard metalworking tools, allowing for custom shapes and sizes.
- Cost-Effective: Compared to solid metal sheets, expanded metal provides comparable strength with less material and weight, lowering material costs and shipping expenses.
- Light & Airflow: The open diamond pattern allows light transmission and air circulation, making it suitable for partitions in warehouses, greenhouses, or animal enclosures.
- Durable & Long-Lasting: Carbon steel construction offers robust performance under mechanical stress. When paired with a protective coating, the service life extends significantly even in harsh environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: What is the difference between standard expanded metal and flattened expanded metal?
A: Standard expanded metal has raised strands that create a rough, slip-resistant surface. Flattened expanded metal is passed through a cold-rolling mill to press the strands flat, resulting in a smooth surface with reduced thickness and sharp edges, ideal for applications where a uniform finish is required. -
Q: Can this sheet be used outdoors?
A: Yes, but carbon steel in mill finish will rust when exposed to moisture. For outdoor use, we recommend a protective coating such as hot-dip galvanizing, powder coating, or painting. We can supply the sheet with the desired finish upon request. -
Q: What is the weight of one sheet?
A: The approximate weight is 18.5 kg per sheet, based on the given dimensions and standard carbon steel density. Actual weight may vary slightly due to manufacturing tolerances. -
Q: How do I cut or shape the sheet?
A: The sheet can be cut with angle grinders, plasma cutters, or tin snips. It can be welded using standard arc welding techniques. For bending, a press brake or roller can be used. Always wear appropriate safety gear. -
Q: What is the typical open area percentage?
A: For this specification (3mm strand, 18x6mm opening), the open area is approximately 48%. This allows good airflow and light transmission while maintaining structural strength. -
Q: Can you provide smaller sheets or custom dimensions?
A: Yes, we can cut the full 1.2x2.4m sheet into smaller pieces as needed. Custom sizes and shapes are also available for large orders – please contact us with your requirements. -
Q: Is this product suitable for flooring or walkways?
A: Yes, flattened expanded metal with 3mm strand thickness is commonly used for mezzanine floors, catwalks, and stair treads when properly supported. The flattened surface provides a comfortable walking surface without sharp edges. -
Q: Do you have any certifications or quality standards?
A: Our production follows international quality management practices. We can provide mill test certificates and material reports upon request. Specific certifications can be discussed based on your project needs.
