Each sheet is expanded in the regular form and then passed through a cold rolled reducing mill. In this process the length of the sheet is elongated - usually about 5% - but the width of the sheet remains the same. The sheet is then sent through a leveler to maintain its flatness.
We are one of the few manufacturers of expanded metal that can flatten a sheet up to 6 feet in width.
Typical applications of flattened expanded metal include protecting enclosures, shelving, and ramps.
