All perforated sheets
In this category, you'll find a wide selection of perforated sheets made of aluminium , steel, and galvanised steel – ideal for applications requiring ventilation, protection, visibility, or design. Whether for mechanical engineering, facades, cladding, ventilation technology, or creative projects: Our perforated sheets offer the perfect combination of stability, functionality, and aesthetics.
What is perforated sheet metal?
Perforated sheets are metal plates with a regular hole pattern. The most common are round or square perforations. However, there are also countless hole patterns in very creative designs.
What is perforated sheet metal used for?
Perforated sheets are extremely versatile. The type of perforation allows for control of the permeability of liquids, air, and light. This makes them ideal for filters, ventilation grilles, privacy screens, or sun protection. The perforated structure also provides a degree of sound insulation; perforated sheets are therefore often used as filling material in room dividers or fences. They are also very useful as contact protection around heating elements, fans, or rotating tools, shafts, and belt drives.
Does perforated sheet metal rust?
Perforated sheets made of stainless steel or aluminium don't rust. However, perforated sheets made of galvanised steel can develop some corrosion on the cut edges and on the inside of the holes. So, it primarily depends on the material being used.
Is perforated sheet metal magnetic?
Perforated steel sheets, whether raw or galvanised, are magnetic. Aluminium or stainless steel perforated sheets are not magnetic.
What does RV mean for perforated sheets?
"RV" stands for round holes, staggered. The designation Rv5-8 is therefore short for a perforated sheet with round holes arranged staggered from each other. The hole diameter is 5 mm, and the distance between the hole centers is 8 mm.
What does Qg mean for perforated sheets?
"Qg" stands for square, straight holes. Accordingly, Qg10-15 is a perforated sheet with a square, straight hole pattern. The holes are 10 x 10 mm in size, and the next hole is 15 mm apart.
How are perforated sheets manufactured?
Perforated sheets are made from smooth sheet metal into which holes are punched using various processes. The shape of the holes is determined by the punches. With this type of production, the sheet becomes somewhat wavy, and the product is therefore subsequently straightened.
