| SHEARING | ||
|
Grating Pacific has fabrication capacity and will gladly shear perforated and expanded metals to specification. When shearing expanded metals, close attention should be paid to bond and margin requirements. Pieces can be "Bond Sheared" or "Random Sheared" subject to manufacturing tolerances. |
 |
|
Bond shearing produces pieces with equal, closed diamond configurations on all four sides. Random shearing produces pieces pieces with partial diamonds on up to all four sides. Random sheared pieces often have sharp exposed partial strands which should be protected by "U" edging or finish framing. |
