Expanded metal gratings are expanded metal grids in structures of single pieces sheet metals with no joints or welding spots. The expanded steel and aluminum grates are often used in the construction of bridge decks, walkways floors, catwalks and drain covers. The surface can be raised or flat with diamond opening. Hexagonal and other mesh patterns are also offered. According to loading capacities and strength, expanded metal sheets can be divided into Standard mesh, Medium and Heavy Type. Materials manufactured in mild steel and aluminium. Stainless steel optional. 

Structures of Expanded Metal and Advantages Using as Flooring Panels:

Expanded metal grates are manufactured via extruding continuously from sheet metal or plates to form a single piece metal materials and contain no joints or welds, leaving a smooth look. The expanded metal mesh sheets are structurally stronger than the original material from which they are made. Expanded metal grating provides a cost-effective and strong weight-to-load product for most load bearing applications.
