ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Expanded metal

Expanded metal is like a big sheet of metal that has been cut and stretched out so it has lots of little holes in it. Think of it like a giant metal mesh.

This process makes the metal stronger and more durable, because it has more surface area and can support more weight without breaking. Plus, the little holes in the metal make it lighter and easier to work with.

Expanded metal can be used for lots of different things - like fencing, grates over drains, or even as a decorative panel. It's a great material to use because it's strong, versatile and long-lasting.
