Galvanized Expanded Metal Mesh Barriers are the heavy-duty typed expanded metal, made of steel plate which is slit and expanded in a cold-drawing operation and galvanized outside. Designed especially for use as a lightweight open steel flooring. Is ideal for flooring, catwalks, platforms and stair treads, where principal us is for light storage and foot traffic. It's low cost and light weight, combined with high strength, make for a most economical construction.
Expanded Metal Mesh Barriers
Each sheet is produced from low carbon steel plates up to 5/16'' thick. The junctions of the strand and bond form a ridged surface for improved tractions. Grating is formed like a truss so that every inter-connecting strand acts as a structural member distributing the load stress in several directions across the supporting frame.
The angular position of the strand and the bond makes the expanded metal grating stronger in deflection than steel plate material in original from.
This product is available only in the regular or standard type and is not flattened.
Typical applications include long length or catwalk grating-usually in 10ft. Lengths by 2 or 3ft. Widths. It is also ideal for flooring, platforms and stair treads, where principal use is for light storage and foot traffic.
Expanded Metal Barriers can be made from carbon steel, stainless steel or aluminum in styles
