Perforated Metal Screen, Steel, various patterns (1.2mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm, 3.0mm)
Perforated steel sheets with customisable hole patterns, available in 1.2-3.0mm thicknesses for architectural screening, ventilation, acoustic control and decorative applications. Non-combustible material suitable for all bushfire zones.
Perforated steel sheets with customisable hole patterns, available in 1.2-3.0mm thicknesses for architectural screening, ventilation, acoustic control and decorative applications. Non-combustible material suitable for all bushfire zones.
Perforated steel screens are manufactured from galvanised, stainless or mild steel sheets through CNC turret punching or die stamping processes. Available in various hole patterns including round (0.5-30mm), square, slotted, hexagonal and decorative designs with open areas typically ranging from 20-60%. Standard sheet sizes are 2000x1000mm or 2500x1250mm, with custom sizes available. The perforation process creates controlled openings for light transmission, airflow, sound absorption and visual screening while maintaining structural integrity.
