Streckgitter was founded with one mission – to supply and process Expanded Metals from foil to plate, for the construction, structural, concrete & industrial industries. Available in variety of metals and alloys, custom sizes, patterns and coatings. Major materials include steel, stainless steel, aluminum & galvanized steel. Services and capabilities include processing, fabricating, flame cutting, forming, cutting, punching, shearing, slitting, beam splitting, welding, coating, notching, bending, drilling, etc. With constantly improved quality, we believe in devoted works, expertise and personal development and our role is to work with you collaboratively by providing quality products. The major advantage of expanded metal is that the mesh is formed from a single piece of metal material like mild steel, stainless steel or any other metal sheet which is cut and stretched while still leaving it attached to the sheet at the knuckle. The unique manufacture processing enables the metal to retain its shape when cut. Often cutting to shape is the only fabrication needed for expanded metal materials. The uncut knuckles support weight and withstand stress better than jointed welded wire mesh or woven wire materials. Expanded mesh can be supplied in a variety of finishes, thickness, raised or flattened. Flattened expanded metal mesh is smoother in surface but is not as strong as the more robust raised metal mesh.
