FAQ – Everything You Need to Know About Expanded Aluminium Grating
Expanded aluminium grating is a sheet of aluminium that is cut and stretched to create a regular pattern of diamond-shaped openings. This process produces a lightweight, rigid material without welds while making efficient use of the material.
Thanks to its open structure, expanded aluminium allows air and light to pass through while providing a versatile solution for a variety of industrial, commercial and architectural applications.
Our expanded aluminium sheets are available in 8 ft. x 4 ft. panels. Product specifications vary depending on the model and pattern dimensions. To find out which specifications are available, see pages 45 to 47 of our product catalogue or contact our team.
Expanded aluminium grating offers several characteristics that make it a versatile material for a variety of projects.
Lightweight Material
Aluminium is a lightweight material, which can make panels easier to handle, transport and install.
Open Structure
The openings in expanded metal allow air and light to pass through the panel. This characteristic can be useful for ventilation, protection and design applications.
Weld-Free Construction
Expanded metal is made from a single sheet that is cut and stretched. The panel therefore has no weld points between the different parts of the pattern.
Good Corrosion Resistance
Aluminium naturally offers good corrosion resistance. It can therefore be suitable for a variety of applications where the material may be exposed to moisture or changing environmental conditions.
Expanded aluminium grating features a regular pattern of diamond-shaped openings.
The size of the openings affects the panel’s appearance, weight and the amount of air and light that can pass through it. The right model therefore depends on the intended use and the characteristics required for the project.
To find out which models and dimensions are available, see pages 45 to 47 of our product catalogue.
A welded mesh is generally made from wires or bars joined together, including by welding. Expanded aluminium grating, on the other hand, is made from a single sheet that is cut and stretched to form the openings.
This manufacturing process produces a continuous panel without weld points and with a regular pattern.
The choice between expanded aluminium grating and metal grating depends on factors such as the application, desired weight, opening characteristics and project requirements.
Expanded aluminium grating can be used in a variety of industrial, commercial and architectural applications, including:
- Protective grilles and panels;
- Ventilation panels;
- Screens and partitions;
- Architectural and decorative applications;
- Structures requiring a lightweight, open material;
- Certain equipment components and metal structures.
Its open structure and light weight compared with other construction metals make it an interesting option for projects where air or light circulation needs to be maintained.
Choosing the right expanded aluminium grating model depends primarily on its intended use and the characteristics required for the panel.
The Model
Each model has a specific configuration that affects the panel’s weight, appearance and characteristics.
Opening Dimensions
The size of the openings affects the amount of air and light that can pass through the panel, as well as its appearance.
Material Thickness
Thickness contributes to the panel’s rigidity and strength. It should be selected according to the requirements of the application.
Weight
Panel weight can be an important consideration when ease of handling, transportation or installation is a priority.
