1800.711.4939www.directmetals.comPERFORATED METALPERFORATED METALPerforated metal is extremely versatile and lightweight. The mostcommon applications include: screens, diffusers, guards, filters, vents and more. We can perforate most any metal, plastic or rubber material with round, square, slotted, decorative or architectural holes.ROUND PERFORATIONOne of the most popular perforation options. Ventilation and decoration are some of its most common uses. You can choose from many sizes and patterns of holes.SLOTTED PERFORATIONProvides greater ventilation than round perforation and is better suited for decorative use than square perforation. Many slot sizes and pattern layouts are available by special order.DECORATIVE/ARCHITECTURAL PERFORATIONIdeal for many architectural applications that require an aesthetic appeal. Many decorative styles, extremely versatile and lightweight. Some architectural applications include: sunscreens, ceiling panels, exterior cladding or any application requiring a decorative look.U-EDGINGA perforated metal accessory that is a u-shaped strip attached to the edge of a perforated metal sheet to make the edges more attractive and safer. In carbon or stainless steel, aluminum andgalvanized.SQUARE PERFORATIONA good option when a greater open area is required in a project. This translates to greaterventilation and lighter weight. Many square sizes and pattern layouts.

EXPANDED METAL10www.directmetals.com800.711.4939REGULAR EXPANDED METALFLATTENED EXPANDED METALSHEARINGRegular Expanded Metal is a finished product as it comes from the press after having been die cut and expanded. Illustration shows that the strands and bonds form a sharp angle to the original plane of the solid sheet.Flattened Expanded Metal is regular expanded metal which has been cold rolled leaving a flat smooth surface.SIDE SHEARINGThe process of cutting a piece of expanded metal parallel to the long dimension of the diamond. Random Side Shearing - Side shearing is a cut made parallel to the LWD dimension of the sheet which usually leaves open diamonds. Flat expanded metal SWD shearing tolerance is plus or minus 1/8" when both sides are sheared. Bond Side Shearing - This cut is made along the length of the sheet on the center line of the bond over the specified width. In most cases it is not practical to attempt to Bond Side Shear either regular or flattened expanded metalbecause of camber. END SHEARINGThe process of cutting a piece of expanded metal parallel to the short way of the diamond. End Random Shearing - The process of shearing a piece of expanded metal to aspecified length (LWD). This cut normally leaves open diamonds at both ends butaccomplishes close tolerance (plus or minus 1/8") when both ends of flat expanded metal are sheared. End Bond Shearing - The process of shearing a piece of expanded metal to a specified length (LWD). A plus or minus 1/8" tolerance applies when both ends of flat expanded metal are sheared. One end is cut on the Bond parallel to the SWD, the other end usually has opendiamonds. NOTE: When End Bond Shearing isrequested for both ends of flat expanded metal, the sheet is sheared at the center line of the bond over the specified length. A tolerance minus 0 plus 1/2" diamond applies. It is possible to End Bond Shear, but extraordinary care must be exercised to maintain the squareness of the sheet. SQUARENESSWhen all four sides of a sheet of expanded metal are sheared, the maximum tolerance will be plus or minus 1/16" per foot of width.1/4" #20 Regular 1/4" #20 Flattened1/2" #16 Regular 1/2" #16 Flattened3/4" #13 Regular3/4" #13 Flattened1-1/2" #9 Regular1-1/2" #9 FlattenedPATTERNS SHOWN ACTUAL SIZESIDE BOND SHEARINGSIDE BOND SHEARINGSIDE RANDOM SHEARINGSIDE RANDOM SHEARING
