PERFORATED METAL for industry
Perforated Sheets are metal metal or coils produced through a cold mechanical punching process that creates holes of various sizes and shapes. This method ensures products of high quality with excellent levels of precision, uniformity, and customization possibilities.
These metal feature an array of holes distributed across their surface, either uniformly or customized to your specifications. The holes can vary in shape and size, including circular, square, rectangular, hexagonal, oval, or decorative designs.
Main Features of Perforated Sheets
Materials and Benefits
- Perforated metal in carbon steel or pre-galvanized steel: cost-effective and versatile, widely used across industrial sectors.
- Perforated metal in stainless steel: resistant to corrosion.
- Perforated metal in aluminum: lightweight, durable, and non-oxidizing.
- Perforated metal in iron: economically advantageous and easy to work with.
- Perforated metal in copper or brass: for aesthetic or specific applications.
Types of Perforations
Perforated metal can also be produced in various formats to suit different applications:
- Perforated sheet with square mesh: provides greater open area and better visibility.
- Perforated sheet with round holes: the most common and widely used type.
- Custom perforated metal: tailored to meet every need, whether aesthetic or functional.
Dimensions and Thicknesses
Fratelli Mariani perforated metal are available with round and square holes in standard formats (1000×2000 mm) in stock, and other formats such as 1000×1000 mm upon request. Thicknesses range from 0.3 mm to 10 mm, with hole diameters from 100 mm down to 0.3 mm for micro-perforated metal.
A wide variety of dimensions ensures the use of perforated metal in a broad range of projects, offering versatile and customized solutions.
Open Area Percentage
This indicates the ratio between the surface area of the holes and the total sheet surface. A higher percentage allows for better ventilation or light transmission.
Advantages of Perforated Sheets
- Weight Reduction
The presence of holes reduces the overall weight of the sheet without significantly compromising its mechanical strength, making it ideal for lightweight structures and applications where weight is critical (e.g., in transportation and aerospace). - Ventilation and Aeration
The holes allow excellent air circulation, making perforated metal suitable for applications like ventilation grilles, industrial filters, and architectural facades that require breathability. - Light Transmission
Perforated metal filter light, making them useful in decorative, architectural, or industrial contexts to create aesthetic effects, reduce energy consumption, or protect against direct sunlight. - Acoustic Properties
Perforated metal are used in sound-absorbing panels or acoustic barriers to reduce noise. Combined with sound-absorbing materials, they enhance performance in environments such as tunnels, public buildings, or industrial plants. - Mechanical Strength
Despite the holes, they retain good structural strength, making them suitable for functional purposes such as fencing, railings, and machinery guards.
