Galvanized Steel Expanded Metal, 5mm Thickness, 50x100mm Opening, Heavy Duty for Walkway Treads
Product Spotlights
Anping Xinye Metal Wire Mesh Products Co., Ltd, located in Hengshui, Hebei, China, is a professional manufacturer specializing in high-quality expanded metal products. Our Galvanized Steel Expanded Metal with a thickness of 5mm and 50x100mm opening is engineered for heavy-duty walkway treads, offering superior strength, slip resistance, and long service life. This product is widely used in industrial platforms, catwalks, mezzanines, and other demanding applications where safety and durability are critical.
Our expanded metal is produced through a precise cutting and stretching process, creating a uniform diamond pattern that provides excellent load distribution and anti-slip properties. The hot-dip galvanized surface treatment ensures outstanding corrosion resistance, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. With a thickness of 5mm, this heavy-duty material can withstand heavy foot traffic, machinery, and constant use without deformation.
Key Features & Benefits
- Heavy-Duty Construction: 5mm thick steel base provides exceptional strength and load-bearing capacity, ideal for walkways, platforms, and industrial flooring.
- Slip-Resistant Surface: The expanded diamond pattern creates natural traction, reducing the risk of slips and falls in wet or oily conditions.
- Corrosion Protection: Hot-dip galvanized coating offers long-lasting resistance against rust, moisture, and chemicals, extending product lifespan.
- Easy Installation: Lightweight compared to solid steel plates, yet strong; can be cut, welded, or bolted to fit various structures.
- Excellent Ventilation: Open area design allows air, light, and water to pass through, reducing wind load and preventing water accumulation.
- Customizable Options: Available in different sizes, shapes, and edge treatments to meet specific project requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is the difference between expanded metal and perforated metal?
A: Expanded metal is made by cutting and stretching a solid sheet, creating diamond-shaped openings with no material waste. Perforated metal is punched with holes, which can be round or square. Expanded metal offers higher strength-to-weight ratio and better slip resistance for walkway treads.
Q: Can this product be used outdoors?
A: Yes, the hot-dip galvanized coating provides excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for outdoor environments such as rooftop walkways, bridge decks, and exposed platforms.
Q: Do you offer custom sizes or shapes?
A: Absolutely. We can cut expanded metal sheets to your required dimensions, add edge banding, or even fabricate ready-to-install treads with non-slip nosing. Customization is available upon request.
Q: How much weight can a 5mm thick expanded metal walkway tread support?
A: The load capacity depends on the span (support spacing) and the specific configuration. For typical industrial walkways with supports at 1.0m intervals, it can safely support pedestrian traffic and light equipment. We can provide load tables based on your design parameters.
Q: What is the standard sheet size?
A: Our standard sheet size is 1.2m x 2.4m (4ft x 8ft). Other sizes can be produced to order.
Q: Is the product slippery when wet?
A: No, the diamond pattern of expanded metal creates natural slip resistance. Even when wet or oily, the sharp edges of the strands provide traction. For added safety, we can also apply slip-resistant coatings.
Q: What is the lead time for orders?
A: For standard sizes, lead time is typically 15–20 working days. Custom orders may require 20–30 working days, depending on quantity and complexity. We offer express shipping for urgent projects.
Q: Do you provide samples?
A: Yes, we can send small samples for evaluation. Please contact our sales team with your requirements.
