Perforation

Perforated and patterned sheet in stainless steel, aluminium and carbon steel — facade screens, balustrade infill, ceilings, grilles and mashrabiya, in standard or custom patterns.

Where machine limits are shown they come from the company profile; your material, dimensions and quantity are confirmed on enquiry — you get the measured answer, not an estimate.

Perforated metal lets light, air and sound through while the sheet keeps doing its job as a screen, a guard or a facade. We perforate in standard round, square and slotted patterns, and cut custom patterns — mashrabiya geometry, graduated openings, an image translated into hole sizes — straight from the designer’s file. The sheet can come from our stock, and the finished panel can be folded, framed and PVD-coated in the same building.

What gets perforated

  • Facade screens and sunshades — patterned panels that cut solar gain and give a building its skin, supplied flat or folded into cassettes.
  • Balustrade and railing infill — perforated panels as an alternative to glass or bars, in a pattern that suits the building.
  • Ceilings and acoustic panels — perforated tiles and planks that hide services and, with a backing, absorb sound.
  • Grilles, guards and enclosures — machine guards, ventilation grilles and equipment enclosures where airflow and protection have to coexist.
  • Mashrabiya and decorative screens — traditional and contemporary geometry, cut from the architect’s drawing and finished to match the interior.

Why perforation

A perforated sheet is one part doing several jobs: a screen, a shade, a guard and a surface at the same time. Standard patterns are quick and economical; custom patterns are cut on the laser, so the only limit on the geometry is what the sheet will hold together. Open area — the share of the sheet removed — is chosen against the job: enough for the air, the light or the view, not so much that the panel loses its stiffness. Because cutting, folding and finishing are in one facility, a perforated panel can leave as a finished, framed, coated component.

From your file to a finished panel

  1. Send your pattern — a standard pattern reference, or your own drawing; DWG, DXF or PDF.
  2. We confirm material and open area — grade, thickness, hole size, pitch and margin, and whether the pattern needs a change to stay flat.
  3. Perforating and cutting — the pattern is produced, the sheet is cut to the panel outline and checked.
  4. Downstream, if you need it — folding, framing, welding, polishing or PVD on the same order.

Frequently asked

01Do you offer standard patterns?
Yes — round, square and slotted patterns in a range of hole sizes and pitches. Tell us the application and we’ll suggest a starting point.
02Can you cut a custom pattern from my drawing?
Yes. Custom geometry is laser-cut from your file. A clean vector file moves fastest; our team can redraw from a sketch when needed.
03What open area can you achieve?
It depends on the material, the thickness and the pattern. Send the drawing and the grade and we’ll confirm what the sheet will hold.
04Will the perforated sheet stay flat?
Perforating puts stress into a sheet, and heavier patterns in thinner sheet need care. We flatten the panel and, where the design allows, fold or frame it to keep it true.
05Can you finish the perforated panel?
Yes. Polishing and PVD are applied after perforating, in the same facility, so the panel arrives as one finished component.
