Mesh Style

Standard / Raised type:
Standard expanded metal, also known as raised expanded metal or 3D mesh type, is produced by slitting and stretching a metal sheet to form diamond-shaped openings.

Flattened type:
Flattened expanded metal, also known as 2D type, is made by passing standard expanded metal through a rolling process to flatten the raised strands and joints.
