TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES OF PERFORATED METAL

Perforation size: 1mm-154mm (additional Perforation sizes are available on request)
Sheet Thickness: Popular thickness: 0.75mm – 12mm. Graepels can perforate up to 25mm thick on special request/order
Sheet sizes: Standard sizes include 2mx1m, 2.5mx1.25m and 3mx1.5m. Sheets 4mx2m are perforated on our larger machines. Longer lengths up to 6m perforated by special request.

Percentage open area: All open areas are physically possible but standard tooling tends to be between 20% and 60%

Please note:
Typical pitch configurations are 45 Degree, 60 Degree, Rectangular pitch and 90 Degrees.
60 Degrees at 30 Degrees, random perforations, decorative perforations and picture perf are bespoke.

BENEFITS OF CHOOSING PERFORATED METAL
In its solid state, Perforated Metal Sheets are smooth with a high strength ratio especially when round holes are used. This makes it ideal for forming into three-dimensional shapes to increase strength and rigidity.
Perforated Metal sheeting is ideal for applications such as ceiling tiles, cladding, lamps, balustrade infill and much more.

We offer a wide range of metals and alloys to provide the best material or combination of materials for the perforated metal sheet. Contact us today for more information or a detailed quote.
