Wheeler Metals offers a standard or flat expanded metal which is simultaneously slit and stretched by a press to form a 1-piece construction. Expanded metal exhibits a high weight to strength ratio, and is often used to protect people or machines by stopping a specific size material from entering a specific area.
Expanded metal is perfect for shelving, screens, railing guards, protection cages, walkway platforms, partitions and backgrounds, enclosure screens, grilles, corncribs, hog pens, filters, and sieves.
