Key Features & Benefits
- Lightweight yet Strong: Aluminum expanded metal offers a high strength-to-weight ratio, reducing structural load and making installation easier compared to steel.
- Anodized for Corrosion Resistance: The anodizing process creates a protective oxide layer that resists rust, chemicals, and UV degradation, ensuring long service life even in outdoor or marine environments.
- Non-Slip Safety Surface: The diamond pattern naturally produces raised edges that provide excellent grip underfoot, meeting safety standards for walkways, ramps, and platforms.
- Open Area for Ventilation & Light: The 5x10mm diamond openings allow air, light, and water to pass through, making it ideal for grating, screening, and decorative applications.
- Easy to Fabricate: Aluminum expanded metal can be cut, welded, and formed with standard tools, allowing quick customization on site or in the workshop.
- Cost-Effective: Compared to perforated metal or welded mesh, expanded metal is more economical because it uses less raw material while maintaining structural integrity.
- Customizable Dimensions: We offer sheets in various widths and lengths, and can also provide cut-to-size pieces or roll forms for your specific project needs.
- Eco-Friendly: Aluminum is 100% recyclable, and our manufacturing process minimizes waste—supporting green building initiatives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What is the difference between expanded metal and perforated metal?
A: Expanded metal is formed by slitting and stretching a solid sheet, creating diamond-shaped openings without material waste. Perforated metal is punched with holes, which removes material. Expanded metal is generally stronger per unit weight and offers a natural non-slip surface. -
Q: Can this product be used outdoors in coastal areas?
A: Yes, the anodized aluminum provides excellent resistance to saltwater corrosion. We recommend 3003 alloy for enhanced corrosion resistance in marine environments. Custom anodizing colors are also available for added protection. -
Q: How do I cut and install this expanded metal?
A: It can be cut with standard metal shears, saws, or plasma cutters. For installation, use self-tapping screws, welding, or clips. Always wear appropriate safety gear when cutting sharp edges. -
Q: What is the load capacity of a 0.8mm thick sheet?
A: Load capacity depends on support spacing and sheet size. For pedestrian walkways with supports at 300mm intervals, it can typically support 150-200 kg per square meter. Contact our technical team for specific load calculations. -
Q: Do you offer custom sizes or special shapes?
A: Absolutely. We can provide sheets cut to your exact dimensions, as well as custom shapes like circles or trapezoids. Minimum order quantities may apply for custom shapes. -
Q: What colors are available for anodizing?
A: Standard color is natural silver. We also offer black, gold, bronze, and other colors upon request. Custom colors require a minimum quantity and longer lead time. -
Q: Is this product suitable for food processing areas?
A: Yes, aluminum is non-toxic and easy to clean. The non-slip surface is ideal for wet areas. However, for direct food contact, please confirm with local regulations. We can provide food-grade aluminum upon request. -
Q: How long does delivery take?
A: For standard sizes, delivery is typically 7-15 working days after order confirmation. Custom orders may take 15-25 working days. We offer express shipping for urgent orders.
