Standard / Raised

AMICO Standard Expanded Metal, also known as raised or regular expanded metal, is a versatile material created by slitting and stretching a sheet of metal, forming a pattern of diamond-shaped openings. This process results in a raised, angled surface that provides increased strength and rigidity compared to flattened expanded metal.

Flattened

AMICO Flattened Expanded Metal is made by passing standard (raised) expanded metal through a cold roll press, which flattens the strands and bonds into a smooth, even surface. This process reduces the overall thickness, creates a more uniform appearance, and improves ease of handling and fabrication.

Metal Grating

AMICO Expanded Metal Grating is a heavy-duty form of expanded metal designed for high-strength, load-bearing applications. Made from thicker sheet or plate, it features larger diamond openings and deeper strands for maximum durability and traction. Its one-piece construction eliminates the need for welding, reducing weak points while maintaining structural integrity. 

Expanded Metal Uses

Expanded metal is one of the most common materials used in industrial applications. It is valued for its strength, durability, and slip resistance. Expanded metal is commonly used for walkways, catwalks, and platforms, providing safe, stable surfaces that allow light, air, and fluids to pass through.
