JoyLink Raised
Expanded Metal: Durable, Versatile, and Eco-Friendly Construction Material for Global Applications Explore JoyLink's premium raised expanded metal—a high-performance sheet material engineered through precision slitting and stretching of raw metal. This innovative process transforms a single solid sheet into multiple durable panels with distinctive diamond-shaped openings, offering superior strength, airflow control, and visual transparency. Designed for global industrial, architectural, and security applications, our raised expanded metal combines structural integrity with customizable design options across various metals and gauges. Key Features & Benefits - Exceptional Load-Bearing Capacity: The unique bond pattern distributes weight evenly across the surface, making it ideal for heavy-duty flooring, machine guarding, and structural reinforcement. - Tailored Open Area Percentages: Adjusted strand thickness and expansion ratios allow precise control over light transmission, ventilation, and safety compliance in diverse environments. - Sustainable Manufacturing: Minimal scrap waste during production ensures efficient use of raw materials—ideal for eco-conscious projects seeking recyclable solutions. - Long-Term Cost Efficiency: With reduced maintenance needs and extended lifespan compared to traditional mesh alternatives, this material lowers lifecycle expenses for commercial and infrastructure developments. Detailed Description Each sheet of raised expanded metal undergoes a controlled deformation process that increases its tensile strength while maintaining flexibility. Available in stainless steel, aluminum, and carbon steel variants, these sheets are suitable for indoor or outdoor installations where durability meets aesthetics. The product line includes standardized specifications such as 1/4" x #20, 3/4" x #16, and 1-1/2" x #6 models, each offering distinct weight per square foot (ranging from 40–250 lbs), approximate strand sizes, and open area percentages between 43% and 85%. These metrics ensure compatibility with engineering requirements for walkways, grating systems,
Fencing, and façade cladding. Whether you need corrosion-resistant surfaces for coastal zones or cost-effective industrial solutions for warehouses, JoyLink’s expanded metal delivers consistent performance under varying conditions. Common Applications Raised expanded metal is widely adopted across sectors including construction, manufacturing, transportation, and urban development. It serves as an excellent choice for: - Industrial Grating Panels – Providing non-slip surfaces for elevated platforms, catwalks, and service areas. - Security Barriers – Offering visibility and protection in perimeter fencing without compromising airflow. - Architectural Facades – Enhancing building exteriors with modern texture and shadow play. - Machine Safety Enclosures – Shielding equipment while allowing air circulation and operator oversight. - Pedestrian Ramps and Stair Treads – Ensuring safe passage in public spaces like parks, bridges, and transit hubs. User Testimonials “Used this in a warehouse renovation project—it held up perfectly under daily foot traffic and machinery movement.” — James L., UK “Installed on a seaside hotel balcony; no rust after two years despite salt exposure.” — Maria K., Spain “Perfect for our new office lobby design—looks professional and feels robust.” — Thomas R., Germany Frequently Asked Questions What makes raised expanded metal stronger than flat sheet metal? The slitting and stretching process introduces tension and directional reinforcement, creating intersecting bonds that enhance rigidity and load distribution. Can it be customized for specific dimensions or finishes? Yes, we offer standard sizes as well as custom cutting, powder coating, and galvanization for specialized environmental demands. Is it suitable for wet or corrosive environments? Stainless steel and aluminum grades provide excellent resistance to moisture, chemicals, and atmospheric degradation. How does it compare to
Perforated Metal? Unlike perforated sheets that remove material, expanded metal retains full sheet integrity, resulting in higher strength-to-weight ratio and better structural stability. Does it meet international safety standards? Our products comply with ASTM, EN, and ISO guidelines for mechanical properties, fire resistance, and slip resistance in commercial settings. Choose JoyLink for reliable, scalable, and future-ready expanded metal solutions tailored to global markets—from industrial facilities to modern architecture.
