Expanded metal, walkway grating and general purpose mesh are three related product categories that often overlap in function and design. Each of these products resembles a steel grid, and is used in a variety of industries such as agriculture, construction and security.

Because expanded metal is produced by stretching, flattening and slitting single steel sheets, it cannot unravel, and enjoys a strength advantage over welded mesh in certain applications.
Our Mentex and Flatex expanded metal products are typically used for walkways, caging, industrial ladders, machine covers, security perimeters, and so on. Handrails, stanchions, bends and accessories are also available

Along with our welded mesh and expanded metal products,  Steel Hosrizon  stocks the KS43 and RS40 unbanded grating, RS40 banded trench grating, and standard stair treads. These gratings are very robust and are the preferred product for industrial walkways and heavy-duty support surfaces to ensure a slip-free environment. We also supply general purpose mesh and welded braai grids (plain or galvanised). These products are suitable for fencing, caging, and security
