Perforated metal is a material fabricated from flat, thin sheets of stainless steel, aluminum, or various grades of mild steel (including galvanized) to ensure they can be efficiently cut and perforated.
The intended use of the product dictates the selection of the perforation pattern's design and dimensions.
A higher number of larger holes diminishes the material's structural integrity; consequently, applications demanding strength necessitate smaller, less frequent perforations. This informs the choice
of pattern, which includes options like round, square, slotted, decorative, hexagonal, or fully custom designs.
Round Holes: This classic and widely adopted pattern can be arranged in straight, aligned rows or in a staggered configuration for offset rows.
Square Holes: Offering a contemporary appearance, this pattern yields a greater percentage of open area compared to round holes and is available in both linear and staggered arrangements.
Slotted Holes: Characterized by their elongated, oblong shape, these perforations can be linear or staggered. They provide exceptional strength and superior passage for air, light, and sound.
Decorative Patterns: Primarily chosen for visual appeal, these designs are favored in architectural and interior design projects, with numerous template options available.
Hexagonal Holes: This pattern offers the maximum possible open area, facilitating the highest transmission of air, light, and sound. Its use is predominantly aesthetic, making it a staple for architects and designers.
