Expanded Metal Specifications & Dimensions
Compare reference patterns used in the USA, UK, Germany, France and Australia. Confirm material, finished dimensions and availability for your order.
For accurate quotation and production, raised expanded metal should be specified by SWD (Short Way of Diamond), LWD (Long Way of Diamond), strand width, sheet thickness, sheet width, and sheet length. These specifications affect sheet weight, strength, open area, anti-slip performance, fabrication, and final price.
Pitch ≠ clear opening. Diagram labels: TL = short way, TB = long way, b = strand width, d = metal thickness, B = sheet width and L = sheet length. Specify whether the short and long dimensions on your drawing are bond-center pitches (SWD / LWD) or clear openings (SWO / LWO).
- LWD × SWD
- Long × short way of the diamond pitch, measured between corresponding bond centers.
- Strand width & thickness
- Strand width is w; base metal thickness is t. Raised overall thickness T is a separate dimension.
- SWO / LWO
- The short and long dimensions of the clear opening between strands; these are smaller than the corresponding diamond pitches.
- Open area & sheet size
- Open area is the percentage occupied by openings. Sheet size is the overall width and length; specify diamond orientation separately.
All dimensions are in mm. LWD and SWD are the long and short diamond pitches, measured between corresponding bond centers. ≈ indicates an approximate value. Scroll horizontally to compare all fields.

What Is Raised Expanded Metal?
Raised expanded metal is made by slitting and stretching metal sheet without rolling it flat after expansion. The raised bonds form a three-dimensional diamond pattern that improves rigidity, traction, airflow, drainage, and open-area efficiency.
As a raised expanded metal manufacturer in China, YueChu Metal supplies custom raised expanded metal sheet, standard expanded metal, raised expanded metal mesh, galvanized standard expanded metal, carbon steel standard expanded metal, stainless steel raised expanded metal, and aluminum standard expanded metal for B2B buyers and OEM projects.
- Custom SWD, LWD, opening size, strand width, thickness, gauge, and sheet dimensions.
- Raised diamond surface for grip, strength, ventilation, drainage, and visibility.
- Suitable for walkways, catwalks, stair treads, machine guards, fencing, grating, and screens.
- Export-ready packing for wholesale supply, project orders, and OEM production.
Material & Application Notes
We supply raised expanded metal in carbon steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. Custom specifications can be produced according to drawings, samples, standard size references, or project requirements.
Applications of Raised Expanded Metal
Raised expanded metal is widely used for anti-slip walkways, safety platforms, industrial catwalks, stair treads, machine guards, fencing, grating, screens, partitions, ventilation panels, and architectural infill panels.
Raised vs. Flattened Expanded Metal
Raised expanded metal keeps the original three-dimensional diamond bonds for better grip and rigidity. Flattened expanded metal is rolled after expansion to create a smoother, thinner surface for framing, cladding, shelves, filters, and fabrication. For buyers comparing raised vs flat expanded metal, raised type is usually preferred when traction, drainage, and structural feel are more important.
Expanded Metal Manufacturing & Customization
A slit-and-stretched sheet, configured around your project.
Slitting and stretching turn solid sheet into connected mesh. Raised mesh retains angled strands; rolling creates a smoother, flattened profile. Cutting, forming and finishing follow your agreed specification.
