Expanded & Flatex Metal is a versatile steel mesh product created by slitting and stretching steel sheets to form a strong, lightweight mesh pattern. The process creates a rigid sheet with evenly spaced openings that allow airflow, visibility, and drainage while maintaining structural strength. Expanded and Flatex sheets are widely used in security, fabrication, and general engineering projects where a durable steel mesh solution is required.

SPFA stocks a range of the most commonly used raised expanded metal and flat expanded metal sheets, supplied in standard sheet sizes of 2400 × 1200 mm. These sheets are suitable for cutting, welding, and fabrication, making them a practical choice for security barriers, protective guards, and fabricated steel products.
