Strength From A Single Sheet
Because the diamonds are slit and stretched from one solid sheet, there are no welds or joints to work loose. You get rigid, load-bearing panels that stay lighter than the equivalent area of solid plate.

Why The Grate Guys
What to expect from expanded metal in Kingston
Standard Or Flattened Mesh
Standard mesh keeps its raised three-dimensional knuckles for grip and rigidity, while running it through the flattener rolls the strands level for a smooth, paintable face. We match the pattern to whether you need traction underfoot or a flush surface to coat.
Airflow And Sightlines Built In
The open diamonds let light, air, and water pass through while still blocking hands and debris, giving you 50 to 80 percent open area depending on the pattern. That makes it ideal for machine guards and screens that have to breathe.
Cut And Framed To Your Opening
We shear the raw mesh, then form and weld it into bordered panels, rolled tubes, or framed infill sized to your drawings. Choosing carbon steel, aluminum, or stainless sets both the gauge and how it holds up outdoors.
Made in Canada
Why Canadian-made metalwork matters
Custom metalwork made in Canada gives contractors, property teams, and facilities tighter quality control, faster lead times, and fewer cross-border delays. The work is fabricated in our Toronto shop, with Canadian steel and other metals selected when the application requires them.
Custom, local, built to spec
We support your expanded metal with Canadian-made fabrication, Canadian steel, clear local coordination, and a shop team close enough to solve site details before they become delays.
Our Process
How we specify, fabricate, and deliver Expanded Metal
Expanded Metal is custom-fabricated or coordinated for commercial, industrial, municipal, institutional, retail, and construction sites, where fit, access, durability, and site conditions matter more than a stock product. The Grate Guys builds expanded metal around drawings, measurements, traffic duty, finish exposure, and installation constraints using mild steel, structural steel, galvanized finish, powder-coat, stainless details, or aluminum where the site calls for it, made to order in our Toronto shop, licensed, insured, and WSIB-covered, with a workmanship warranty on every order, supplied and installed across the GTA and shipped Canada-wide.
- 01 Send your inquiry, drawings, photos, or a description of what you need.
- 02 We come measure and assess the Kingston site (or work from your specs and drawings).
- 03 We fabricate your expanded metal to spec in our shop, finished for the conditions.
- 04 We return to deliver and install it, set, levelled, and done right on site.

Understanding expanded metal
What shapes expanded metal for Kingston projects
Kingston expanded metal typically centres on site access, regional shipping, building use, exposure, measurement tolerance, and install timing. The Grate Guys treats each request as a practical scoping job: the quote starts with what must be measured, what load or use the part has to survive, and how the fabrication will reach the site.
The Kingston checklist for this product covers measurements, material choice, load case, finish, delivery access, installation timing, and drawing approval. That keeps the page tied to a real product and a real local project, with clear constraints, site details, and quote-ready information a buyer can act on.
