Our black flattened expanded metal sheet is produced from carbon steel sheet and flattened after expansion to create a smoother surface. Expanded metal is made by stretching a metal sheet into diamond-shaped openings, and flattened expanded metal is rolled after expansion for a smoother finish. This makes it a practical choice for livestock flooring projects where strength, airflow, and durability are important.

This product is especially suitable for sheep flooring manufacturers who use it as a raw material for sheep floor systems. In sheep confinement systems, expanded metal or mesh flooring is used, and it can reduce the space needed while helping keep hooves worn.

   

Why Choose Our Black Flattened Expanded Metal Sheet?

Our black expanded metal sheet is designed for customers who need a strong and stable material for livestock flooring production. Compared with a raised surface, the flattened type offers a smoother walking surface after processing. Flattened expanded metal is widely supplied in carbon steel, which makes it a common material choice.

FAQ

What is flattened expanded metal sheet?

Flattened expanded metal is expanded metal that has been rolled after the expansion process to create a smoother surface.

Is this product supplied in roll form?

No. This product is supplied as sheet form, not roll form.

Can you make custom sizes?

Yes. Custom sheet sizes can be made according to customer requirements

Is this suitable for sheep flooring?

Yes. It is designed for sheep flooring manufacturers. Expanded metal sheet flooring is used in sheep housing, and it can help reduce space needs while keeping hooves worn.

Why do customers choose black expanded metal instead of galvanized?

Many customers choose black expanded metal because they will weld and fabricate the product first, then carry out hot-dip galvanizing.

If galvanized material is welded directly, the zinc coating at the welding points will be damaged. By galvanizing after fabrication, the final product can achieve a more complete and uniform corrosion protection layer.

What material do you use?

We use hot rolled carbon steel for this black flattened expanded metal sheet.
