Expanded Metal

 

WHAT IS EXPANDED METAL?

Expanded Metal is a rigid, non-raveling piece of metal that has been slit and expanded. In the expanding process, metal can be expanded ten times its original size, lose up to 80% of its weight, becoming stronger and more rigid. No material is lost in the manufacturing process.

Magnus Steel (PTY) Ltd is a major stockist of raised and flattened expanded metal. We are able to provide our customers with a variety of options which can be used for strength, utility, safety and durability.
