Expanded Steel
Expanded steel is a strong, lightweight material created by cutting and stretching steel sheet into a mesh pattern. It provides excellent strength, rigidity, and slip resistance while maintaining airflow and visibility.
Commonly used for walkways, platforms, security screens, fencing, and guards, expanded steel is widely used in industrial, construction, and fabrication applications.
Available in a range of mesh sizes and thicknesses.

Expanded steel is manufactured by slitting and stretching metal sheets to create a continuous mesh pattern without welding or joining. This process results in a material that is strong, rigid, and resistant to bending, while remaining lighter than solid sheet.
It offers a cost-effective solution for applications requiring strength, airflow, and visibility.
