REGULAR EXPANDED METAL
Regular Expanded Metal is an open mesh, finished product that is simultaneously die-cut and expanded as it moves through progressive dies on a press. In the expanding process, the metal can be expanded up to ten times its original size, lose up 80% of its original weight per square foot, and still retain form and rigidity. (Regular Expanded Metal can also be referred to as "Raised" or "Standard" Expanded Metal.)
