Galvanized & Stainless Steel Flattened Expanded Metal
Galvanized flattened expanded metal has diamond-shaped openings and a smooth surface. This type of metal grating is often used for window and door panels, safety systems, machine guards, security fencing, and protective covers. At Triple-S Steel®, we maintain a large stock of carbon steel, aluminum, stainless steel, and galvanized flattened expanded metal.
- Galvanized Flattened Expanded Metal: Choose galvanized expanded metal for a balance of corrosion resistance and cost-effectiveness. This option is popular for exposed environments, such as outdoor equipment enclosures.
- Stainless Steel Flattened Expanded Metal: When maximum corrosion resistance is necessary, opt for stainless steel flattened expanded metal panels. Stainless steel is a good fit for petrochemical, oil and gas, marine, and other corrosive manufacturing environments.
Benefits of Flattened Expanded Metal Grating
Expanded metal grating offers many advantages for commercial and industrial worksites:
- Ventilation: Significant airflow around machinery, data cables, and other temperature-sensitive systems
- Safety: Prevention of falls, machinery-related injuries, and other workplace accidents
- Impact resistance: Layer of protection against thrown debris, fallen tools, and other impacts
- Security: Access prevention for unauthorized facility areas, lockers, and equipment controls
Flattened expanded metal is a cost-effective and flexible solution for building managers.
Flattened Expanded Metal Vs. Raised Expanded Metal Sheets
Standard or raised metal grating is generally used where increased traction is necessary, such as wet flooring or industrial catwalks. Flattened expanded metal is smooth, avoiding catching clothing or abrading equipment. Flattened grating is more common for walls, fences, and protective covers.
