Made by slitting and stretching metal sheets to create diamond-shaped openings, Hightop Expanded Metal forms screens, window security panels, and machine guards to name a few applications for this practical and versatile product line. In the decorative version of the product, shelving, signage, and ceiling tiles are among the most popular applications. Expanded Metal is supplied in a Standard (raised) diamond pattern or a Flattened diamond pattern. Numerous gauges, opening sizes, materials, and sheet sizes are options that will surely fit your project requirements!
Materials: Our architectural & decorative expanded metals are available in a variety of different materials. There are mainly three materials: Carbon steel, Aluminum, Stainless steel. Other materials for choose: Copper, Titanium, Nickel, etc. You can find the best fit for your application.
1. Carbon steel
Carbon based decorative expanded metals feature relative high strength and durability at a low cost that make them a great choice for a variety of applications. Carbon steel has functionality and sophistication in design. Infill panels Furniture Retail displays Security Safety The expanded metal choice for aesthetics permits passage of air, light, heat and sound.
2. Aluminum
Aluminum is the dream material for decorative expanded metal. It features ease of formability, high strength to weight ratio and corrosion resistance. Anodized finishes are available in all standard colors and textures. Building facades Room dividers Trade show displays Ceilings Water Features With a much lower weight than steel, aluminum can cover more area with less mass than competing materials.
3. Stainless steel
Stainless, specifically T-316 provides the highest level of corrosion resistance compared to other grades. T-316 is recommended for exterior applications where resistance to oxidation and corrosion is required. Lighting diffusers Security screens Shading Ceilings panels Landscaping Stainless provides functional aesthetics and mechanical properties, suitable for most exterior applications and wide range of patterns in a maintenance-free finish.
