Stainless Steel Expanded Metal
Durable Stainless Steel Expanded Metal for Guarding, Grating, and Screens
Action Stainless stocks stainless steel expanded metal in a variety of mesh sizes and patterns designed for guarding, safety platforms, filtration, and architectural detailing. Expanded metal is produced by shearing and stretching sheet metal to form rigid mesh with interlinked diamond-shaped openings.
Our expanded metal options are available in
304
and
316L stainless grades, offering strength, corrosion resistance, and slip resistance in both industrial and decorative applications. Mesh is typically stocked in standard sheet sizes with custom-cutting available to match your project requirements.
Finishes & Processing Services
Stainless steel expanded metal is stocked in a mill finish suitable for industrial, safety, and utility applications. For projects requiring improved aesthetics or corrosion protection, select products can be cleaned, deburred, or lightly polished.
Processing services include shearing, cut-to-size, and frame fabrication. Expanded metal can be supplied in full sheets or trimmed to shape for guards, panels, or filters.
Available Styles and Materials
We stock
stainless steel expanded metal in:
Standard (Raised) Mesh
Provides maximum strength, rigidity, and slip resistance. Ideal for walkways, guards, and security enclosures.
Flattened Mesh
Offers a smoother, more uniform surface for decorative, filtration, or architectural use.
Expanded metal is typically stocked in 4′ × 8′ and 4′ × 10′ sheets. Custom patterns, mesh sizes, and framing options are available upon request.
