Stretch metal

Expanded metal that combines aesthetics and functionality

Expanded metal combines both aesthetic and functional properties with each other. By stretching metal coils or sheets, the desired pattern and size is achieved, creating a product that is not only robust, but also minimizes waste in the production process. Expanded metal can be incorporated both as an architectural and aesthetic element, as well as a more practical element in the form of e.g. shielding.

Refresh the surface by painting the expanded metal

Although expanded metal already has a nice surface directly after production, you can also paint it to achieve a certain look or to improve durability. However, you must be aware that the painting process requires correct preparation of the surface and the use of approved paint types to achieve a good result.

What can you use expanded metal for?

Expanded metal can be used for a wide range of purposes such as safety measures, steps, bridges, screening or as architectural details. Expanded metal is produced in several materials such as steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel and aluminum with different thicknesses and hole patterns to meet different needs.

What is the difference between expanded metal sheets and rolls?

Expanded metal is available in both sheet and roll form. Sheets are typically used for smaller projects such as wall panels, decorative elements and smaller screens or for precise measurements, whereas rolls are more suitable for larger areas or for projects where bespoke lengths are required such as screens, fences, partitions and larger structures.

Advantages of expanded metal in aluminum and steel

Stretch metal combines strength, light weight and aesthetics in a unique way. It is suitable for several purposes within both industry and architecture and offers a balance between function and beautiful visual expression.

At Blik Shop, we offer expanded metal in both steel and aluminium, which are durable and robust materials. Aluminum is known for its natural corrosion resistance, meaning it is resistant to rust and deterioration over time. This makes it suitable for outdoor applications or places with high humidity. Steel is known for its strength and adaptability as well as fire safety, which makes it a good choice in places where fire safety is essential, such as in industrial environments or buildings with strict fire safety standards.
