EXPANDED METAL-STRUCTURAL GRATING

The expanded metals are very versatile products. Ferrous and non-ferrous metal sheet can be expanded into a wide range of mesh styles. There are standard expanded metal styles and numerous variations in strand width and opening sizes can be produced to create whatever architectural or industrial pattern is required. Expanded metal is also produced in a flattened form which is created by rolling standard or raised expanded metal.

FAQs about Expanded Metal

We provide raised-pattern expanded metal, flattened expanded metal, and structural grating-style expanded metal. Raised pattern gives deep, three-dimensional strand and opening profiles; flattened pattern is rolled flat after expansion for smoother surfaces; structural grating versions support heavier loads.

Common local uses include infill panels for architectural façades, machine guards and safety grating in industrial plants, catwalk flooring and platforms (especially in cold-climate facilities), trench covers, ventilation screens, and decorative interior partitions.

Expanded metal is available in carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous grades. Finishes include raw, galvanized, powder-coated or painted surfaces — allowing adaptation for corrosive environments (e.g., salt fog in coastal Québec) or high-aesthetic architectural uses.

Provide the material type and grade, pattern type (raised, flattened, grating), strand/opening size, sheet or panel dimensions, finish (galvanized, powder-coated etc.), quantity, and delivery location (Greater Montreal / southern Québec). This enables accurate checking of inventory or sourcing.

Services include cut-to-size, deburring, welding or assembly, bending, hole punching, and surface finishing (galvanizing, powder-coating). These added capabilities help reduce on-site labour and installation time in Québec projects.

For heavy-duty applications (e.g., walk-on/drive-on platforms, trench covers, ramps), choose expanded metal with higher load-bearing capacity — verify strand thickness, web depth and support spacing. In cold-region Québec use, ensure structural rating accounts for ice, snow and traffic loads.

Steel expanded metal used outdoors in Québec must often be galvanized or pre-treated to resist de-icing salts, freeze-thaw cycles and moisture. Alternatively, stainless or aluminum expanded metal may be selected for marine/exposed environments.
