Expanded Metal is formed by slitting and stretching a single sheet into a rigid diamond mesh with no waste and no welds or joints. For Peterborough work, The Grate Guys builds expanded metal to order from field dimensions, not a catalogue.
Most Peterborough expanded metal jobs involve walkways, security screens, guards, ramps, and infill panels. Across Peterborough, it solves one-piece strength, drainage, and slip-resistant traction, and because no two sites are identical the scope is set per site, not a default.
Demand for expanded metal in Peterborough (Peterborough County) comes mostly from electrical and aerospace manufacturing, advanced manufacturing and machining, food and beverage processing, cleantech and electrical equipment, Trent-Severn Waterway tourism and marine. Most of it sits around Peterborough Airport business park, Park Street industrial area, Kawartha industrial lands, downtown commercial core. The area's anchors, including General Electric / GE legacy electrical works, Rolls-Royce Canada (aerospace components), Bryston, Flying Colours (aircraft completions at airport), Quaker/PepsiCo (food processing), Trent University and Fleming College, shape the kind of work Peterborough needs: load-rated, code-documented, and built for hard use.
Across Peterborough, expanded metal covers a real range of property — electrical and aerospace manufacturing, advanced manufacturing and machining, food and beverage processing, cleantech and electrical equipment, Trent-Severn Waterway tourism and marine. Each calls for a different response, so The Grate Guys scopes every Peterborough order to the building and its use rather than one playbook.
What that means on the ground: Peterborough's manufacturing legacy runs from the historic GE electrical works to Rolls-Royce and aircraft-completion shops at the airport business park; metal-fab work spans heavy structural retrofits, machine guarding and crane rails inland, plus marine-grade railings and grating along the Otonabee and Trent-Severn lock system. That local picture shapes how The Grate Guys assesses, equips, and prices each Peterborough order.
The Peterborough variables that matter are legacy heavy-industrial structural retrofit and crane systems, Otonabee River and Trent-Severn lock-side marine railings and grating, freeze-thaw corrosion on bridges and walkways, aerospace-grade fabrication tolerances at the airport. So The Grate Guys matches the gauge, material, and finish to the site, and a Peterborough order rarely needs the same approach as a standard property.
Expect about 5-10 business days on a Peterborough expanded metal order: The Grate Guys quotes fast, fabricates to the measured spec, and delivers and installs it on site.
Each Peterborough expanded metal order is measured, shop-built to the approved spec, finished, and fit-checked — so it drops in clean.

The Grate Guys tailors each order to the situation and documents it for the file. The Grate Guys also serves nearby the surrounding area, so projects spanning the surrounding area stay with one team.
Every Peterborough expanded metal order is built to the engineered drawing and the real load — material certs, shop drawings, and load ratings documented so the spec is verifiable on site, not assumed.
Across Peterborough, owners call The Grate Guys for expanded metal for a simple reason: licensed, insured, and fully WSIB-covered work, 5-star-rated on Google, 5-10 business days, and a crew that actually knows Peterborough Airport business park, Park Street industrial area, Kawartha industrial lands, downtown commercial core and how local buildings fail.
