Expanded Metal, BRC
Expanded metal is stronger than an equivalent weight of wire mesh such as chicken wire, because the material is flattened, allowing the metal to stay in one piece. The other benefit to expanded metal is that the metal is never completely cut and reconnected, allowing the material to retain its strength.
B.R.C. is the initials of the name of a company called British Reinforcement Company Ltd to first manufacture a wire mesh fabric to be used in the construction industry. The welded mesh is made up of low carbon steel wire or stainless steel wire.
