This Macklanburg Duncan panel is an expanded aluminum sheet in the Veil pattern, anodized in Gold, supplied at 2 by 4 feet.
The Veil pattern is expanded metal, which means the openings are punched and stretched out of a solid aluminum sheet in a single operation. No individual wires cross or interlock. The result is a panel with a continuous face perforated by a repeating open pattern, and a solid margin at the sheet edges where the expansion stops. That edge condition is different from a wire grille, where cut ends protrude at the perimeter. Buyers who have worked with wire mesh panels will notice the difference immediately when fitting the sheet to a frame opening.
The Gold anodized finish sits on an aluminum substrate, which the source data confirms. Anodizing is an electrochemical process that thickens the natural oxide layer of aluminum, and the Gold tone is introduced during that process rather than applied over it as a plating or a paint. The result is a warm, consistently colored surface across the open and solid areas of the panel alike. In a cabinet door frame or a furniture opening, the Gold finish reads as a decorative accent rather than a neutral background, which makes it a finish choice rather than a default.
The 2 by 4 foot sheet is a landscape format, wider than it is tall, which suits horizontal openings, wide single-door panels, and multi-light door frames where the sheet can be oriented to minimize waste. The Gold finish coordinates with warm-toned hardware families and suits cabinetry where a bronze or gold accent is already established in the pulls, hinges, or other visible metal. It also works in furniture pieces, room dividers, and decorative screens where the expanded Veil pattern provides visual interest without a directional grain. The aluminum material keeps the sheet lightweight relative to its size.
Expanded metal is formed by slitting and stretching a solid sheet, so the openings and the solid areas are part of the same piece of metal. Wire mesh is made from individual wires that cross and are welded or woven at the intersections. The edge condition and the surface feel are different in practice.
The finish is anodized, which means the color is introduced through an electrochemical process in the oxide layer of the aluminum rather than applied as a separate plating or coating.
Veil is the Macklanburg Duncan designation for this expanded aluminum panel, identified as EM-2 in their product line. It is a vendor pattern name specific to Macklanburg Duncan.
The sheet is 2 feet wide by 4 feet long, which is 24 by 48 inches.
Choose this panel when the cabinet door or furniture opening is meant to read as a design element, and when a Gold tone is already part of the room's hardware story.
