Why Source Expanded Metal from Brazil for Your US Projects?
Choosing an international supplier requires confidence. Importing expanded metal directly from LOSAND in Brazil offers compelling advantages for US companies seeking value without compromising on quality:
Significant Cost Savings:
Leverage favorable exchange rates and our factory-direct model for highly competitive pricing compared to domestic alternatives.
Uncompromised Quality:
Our manufacturing adheres to strict international quality standards, ensuring durable and reliable products for demanding applications. We are an ISO 9001 certified company.
Proven Expertise & Capacity:
With over 30 years in the industry and a massive production capacity (processing up to 400 tons of steel monthly), we reliably handle large and complex orders.
Streamlined Logistics to the USA:
We have extensive experience shipping to the US, offering seamless logistics (FOB Port of Santos or CIF options) and clear communication throughout the process.
The Expanded Metal Advantage
Expanded metal is created by simultaneously slitting and stretching a single sheet of metal (like steel, aluminum, or stainless steel) in a press. This process creates diamond-shaped openings and expands the metal up to 10 times its original size.
Key Benefits:
Cost-Effective:
Offers substantial savings compared to alternatives like perforated metal, checker plate, or bar grating due to higher material yield.
High Strength-to-Weight Ratio:
The truss-like structure provides excellent structural integrity while remaining relatively lightweight.
Ventilation & Drainage:
The open mesh design allows for the free passage of air, light, and fluids.
Versatility:
Suitable for a vast range of industrial, architectural, and construction applications.
Tailored to Your Specifications
LOSAND offers a wide range of expanded metal options, customizable to meet your project’s exact needs:
- Carbon Steel (ASTM A1011 or similar)
- Galvanized Carbon Steel (Hot-Dipped Galvanized options)
- Aluminum (Alloy 5052 or similar)
- Stainless Steel (Grades 304, 316, or 430)
- Widths: ~4 ft (1000mm, 1200mm) up to ~5 ft (1500mm)
- Lengths: ~6.5 ft (2000mm), ~10 ft (3000mm), up to ~20 ft (6000mm)
- Note: We can often customize lengths during production for better yield and cost-efficiency. Discuss your needs with our team!
- We offer various standard mesh patterns (light-duty to heavy-duty grating).
- General Principle: Larger mesh openings generally result in higher yield (more sq ft per lb) and lower cost per area. Smaller, denser meshes are typically heavier and cost more but offer different performance characteristics. Our team can help you balance aesthetics, performance, and budget.
- Powder Coating: Wide range of RAL colors for architectural appeal and added protection.
- Hot-Dip Galvanization (ASTM A123): For maximum corrosion resistance in harsh environments.
- Custom Fabrication: Laser cutting, bending, and rolling services available for specific shapes and parts.
