AMICO- Diamond Perforated Metals, Inc.

MICO Safety Plank Grating products feature one-piece cold-formed construction to shape channels and sheet flooring. Surfaces formed in the grating provide excellent traction and slip-resistance and allow water, oil and snow to drain through. The orientation of the plank creates two different designs; channeled versus walkway. The walkway design has a built-in kickplate or toeboard. Each type of walking surface incorporates diamond shaped openings or round de-bossed holes and traction buttons to form the slip-resistant surface.

MICO began manufacturing expanded metal lath and lathing accessories in 1939. Metal lath is the established substrate for stucco, plaster and veneer stone for residential and commercial buildings throughout the world. Our versatile lath meets the design contours of the structure; it is low-maintenance and creates a good insulator from the elements. AMICO lath and accessories meet IBC, RBC and ASTM Standards and all of our lath and accessories are recyclable. During installation make sure you follow applicable codes and standards.

ontinuous Insulation (CI) is defined as “insulation that is continuous across all structural members without thermal bridges other than fasteners and service openings.” The challenge lies in how to design and construct the juncture of materials incorporating the varying thicknesses of insulation and different building finishes. AMICO offers the lath and specially designed accessories to accommodate any thickness of insulation. AMICO lath and accessories meet IBC, RBC and ASTM Standards. During installation be sure to follow applicable codes and standards.

Exterior Insulation and Finish System or EIFS was developed in Europe after World War II to retrofit solid masonry walls. It has evolved primarily into a commercial exterior wall cladding system that consists of an insulation board attached to the substrate with a base coat and finish coat to simulate the look of stucco, though it’s not as resistant to abuse as stucco. AMICO lath is frequently used in these retrofit applications because of it’s superior strength and stiffness over non-metallic lath. AMICO lath and accessory beads meet IBC, RBC and ASTM Standards.

Expanded metal is truly a versatile product. Ferrous and non-ferrous metal sheet can be expanded into a wide range of mesh styles. There are standard expanded metal styles and numerous variations in strand width and opening sizes can be produced to create whatever architectural or industrial pattern is required. Expanded metal is also produced in a flattened form which is created by rolling standard or raised expanded metal.

AMICO perforates many different types of metals and materials at our three US-based manufacturing facilities. From the aerospace industry to exterior cladding and OEM accounts, perforated metal has countless applications. Perforated metal is used for its high strength-to-weight ratio, aesthetic appeal, variety of hole shapes and sizes that can offer a high percentage of open area. Although AMICO carries a wide variety of stock panels for immediate delivery, we would be glad to assist you with a custom design or hole pattern to meet your need for a specific application.
