Expanded Metal Grating

Expanded Metal Grating is manufactured by slitting and stretching a single sheet of metal to maximize use of the raw material while producing a strong, rigid, and open sheet.  It is a lightweight, economical alternative for short span catwalks and maintenance platforms. Available in distinct hexagonal or diamond patterns, standard products are produced with the long way of the opening “spanning” the length (long direction) of the sheet.

When considering options for economical walkways, reverse flow Expanded Metal Catwalk Grating is an excellent option. It is produced with the long way of the diamond “spanning” the width or short direction of the sheet, providing increased load bearing capacity.
