Open Patterns, Endless Possibilities.
ASCO’s expanded steel sheet delivers high strength, low weight, and superior versatility for both structural and protective applications. Formed by slitting and stretching solid sheet steel into a mesh, expanded metal provides rigidity without the added weight of solid plate. It’s durable, economical, and built to perform anywhere ventilation, drainage, or impact resistance matters.
From industrial catwalks to architectural screens, expanded steel is the hardworking material behind tough, functional design.
Expanded steel combines efficiency and durability with unmatched adaptability. Its mesh structure provides excellent airflow, light diffusion, and traction—ideal for fabrication, construction, and industrial safety applications.
Produced when the sheet is slit and stretched in one motion, creating diamond-shaped openings with slightly angled strands. This raised surface enhances grip and rigidity—perfect for platforms, catwalks, and machine guards.
After expansion, the sheet is cold rolled to flatten the ridges. The result is a smooth, uniform surface ideal for screens, grilles, infill panels, and architectural façades.
Expanded metal comes in a variety of mesh sizes and strand thicknesses, allowing for both functional and aesthetic use. Fine mesh patterns suit filtration and enclosure applications, while larger openings provide structural rigidity with maximum airflow.
ASCO supplies expanded metal in multiple materials depending on the end-use requirements.
Custom sizes and cuts available.
20GA to 3/16″ depending on pattern and base material
Choose galvanized expanded steel for long-term outdoor performance, or flattened steel mesh for projects requiring a clean, modern look with precise fitment.
At ASCO, we supply expanded metal that’s built to your specifications—cut, formed, and ready for integration. Our network of domestic mills ensures material consistency and fast lead times across carbon, galvanized, and stainless steel grades.
From industrial utility to architectural design, ASCO’s expanded steel helps you create durable, efficient, and striking structures—delivered on time and made to last.
