galvanized and stainless steel Perforated Metal Sheet

Material Options

• Carbon Steel
• Stainless Steel (e.g., Type 304 and Type 316)
• Galvanized Steel
• Aluminum
• Copper
• Special Alloys (e.g., Inconel, Monel)

Dimensions

• Sheet Sizes: Common sizes include 48" x 96" and 60" x 120", with custom sizes available.
• Thickness: Typically ranges from 0.025 inches to 0.250 inches, depending on the application and material.

Hole Sizes

• Square Hole Dimensions: Available in various sizes, commonly ranging from 1/8 inch to 1 inch or larger.
• Staggered vs. Straight Patterns: Square holes can be arranged in staggered or straight-line patterns, affecting the overall appearance and functionality.

Open Area

• The open area percentage varies based on hole size and pattern, typically ranging from approximately 36% to 79%. This allows for effective airflow and light passage.

Structural Characteristics

• Gauge: The thickness of the material is often specified in gauge, with common gauges ranging from #10 to #22.
• Strength: Square hole perforated metal is known for its high strength-to-weight ratio, making it suitable for applications requiring durability without excessive weight.

Applications

• Architectural Features: Such as decorative screens, facades, and wall partitions.
• Industrial Uses: Including filtration systems, machine guards, and safety barriers.
• Electronics: Used in audio equipment grilles and electronic enclosures.
• HVAC Systems: For ventilation and air distribution.

Benefits

• Aesthetic Appeal: Square holes can provide a more modern look compared to round holes.
• Increased Open Area: The square shape allows for larger open areas compared to round holes of the same perimeter, facilitating better airflow and sound passage.
• Customization Options: Available in a variety of materials, sizes, and hole patterns to meet specific project requirements.
