Expanded Metal is made from sheets of steel that are inserted in a specialized machine then slit and expanded up to ten times its original length. Standard expanded metal has some depth and “grip” to it, whereas flattened expanded metal is just as it sounds, Flat. Expanded Metal sizes are defined by the thickness and the dimension of the smallest section of the “diamond” or rhombus.
