Expanded Metal is sheet metal which has been slit and expanded into a network of diamond shaped meshes. None of the metal is lost in the process, nor is the strength of the sheet reduced. In fact, the formation of the diamond truss pattern adds to the rigidity and strength of the sheet.
Where strength without excess weidth is desired, for free passage of light and air, for utility and beauty in countless applications, concealed or exposed. Expanded metal in its variety of sizes and choice of metals, offers exceptional versatility, distinction and economy.
How to identify your type :
LMW - Longway of mesh. This measurement is the size across the longway of the diamond mesh from cantre to centre of the joints.
SMW - Shirtway of mesh. This is the size of across the shortway of the diamond mesh from centre to centre of the joints.
THICKNESS OF STRAND - The thickness (gauge) of the sheet before expanding.
WIDTH OF STRAND - The size of the strand measured at right angles to its thickness.
How to spcecify your sheet size :
Size of sheet L.M.W. This is the dimension of a sheet measured in line with the longway of the diamonds, and should always be the first dimension quoted.
Size of sheet S.M.W. This is the dimension of a sheet measured in line with the longway of the diamonds, and should always be the first dimension quoted.
