Carbon Steel Expanded Metal, 2.0mm Thickness, 3x6m Panel, 60x60mm Square Opening, Heavy Duty
Product Spotlights
As a leading manufacturer at Anping Xinye Metal Wire Mesh Products Co., Ltd, we are proud to present our Carbon Steel Expanded Metal in a heavy-duty configuration: 2.0mm thickness, 3x6m panel, 60x60mm square opening. This expanded metal mesh is produced by precisely slitting and stretching carbon steel sheets, creating a uniform diamond pattern with no material loss. The result is a rigid, lightweight yet exceptionally strong mesh that delivers superior performance in demanding industrial, construction, and security applications. Our factory in Hengshui, Hebei, China, has been supplying quality wire mesh products for over 20 years, ensuring consistent quality and competitive pricing for bulk buyers worldwide.
Key Features & Benefits
- Heavy-Duty Strength: With 2.0mm thickness and 60x60mm openings, this expanded metal offers high load-bearing capacity, making it suitable for walkways, mezzanine floors, and heavy equipment guards.
- Cost-Effective & Material Efficient: The expansion process uses the entire sheet (no waste), providing maximum coverage per kilogram while maintaining structural integrity.
- Anti-Slip Surface: The diamond pattern creates natural traction, ideal for stair treads, ramps, and industrial flooring.
- Easy to Install & Customize: Panels can be cut, welded, or bolted to fit your exact requirements. Custom sizes and openings are available upon request.
- Versatile Applications: Used in security fencing, machine guards, shelving, partitions, filtration, and architectural facades.
- Durable Material: Carbon steel provides excellent toughness and can be further protected with galvanization, PVC coating, or painting for extended service life.

Detailed Product Description
Our Carbon Steel Expanded Metal with 2.0mm thickness and 60x60mm square openings is manufactured using state-of-the-art expanding machinery. The process begins with a solid carbon steel sheet that is simultaneously slit and stretched, forming a uniform pattern of diamond-shaped openings. Unlike welded mesh, there are no joints or welds, which eliminates weak points and provides continuous strength across the entire panel.
The heavy-duty designation refers to the combination of 2.0mm base metal thickness and relatively large 60x60mm openings, which still maintains high rigidity. This panel is ideal for applications requiring high load capacity and security, such as:
- Industrial Walkways & Platforms: Non-slip expanded metal is widely used in factories, warehouses, and oil rigs for safe walking surfaces.
- Machine Guards & Barriers: Provides protection around moving machinery while allowing visibility and airflow.
- Security Fencing & Partitions: The rigid mesh is difficult to cut or climb, making it suitable for perimeter enclosures.
- Heavy-Duty Shelving & Racking: Can support substantial weight for storage systems.
- Architectural Cladding & Sunscreens: Modern aesthetic with functional light and air control.
One of the major advantages of expanded metal is its high strength-to-weight ratio. Despite being 2.0mm thick, the open area reduces weight, making handling and installation easier compared to solid plate. The diamond pattern also provides excellent drainage and ventilation, which is beneficial in outdoor or wash-down environments.
We offer customization options for this product: panel sizes can be cut to your desired dimensions, openings can be varied (e.g., 30x30mm, 40x40mm, 80x80mm), and surface treatments such as hot-dip galvanizing, electro-galvanizing, or PVC coating can be applied to suit specific corrosion resistance requirements.
