FAQs For This Product
What Patterns Are Available?
Aluminium perforated metal sheet is available in a variety of patterns, including round, square, slotted, and decorative patterns. The choice of hole shape depends on the specific application and the desired functional and aesthetic requirements. Here are some reasons why our square or round hole perforated metal mesh might be preferred:
- Functionality: The shape of the holes can impact the functionality of the mesh. For example, round holes are better for sound insulation, while square holes are better for air filtration and draining liquids. Square hole is a more classic filtration shape, however perforated metal in general is excellent in this regard.
- Strength and stability: Square hole perforated metal mesh can provide greater strength and stability compared to round hole mesh due to its larger contact area with adjacent materials. This can be beneficial in applications where the mesh is used to provide support or structural integrity.
- Aesthetics: The hole shape can also affect the appearance of the mesh. In our experience, round hole perforated metal mesh can provide a more traditional or classic look, while square hole mesh offers a more modern or contemporary appearance.
- Cost: The cost of manufacturing perforated metal mesh can vary depending on the hole shape, with some shapes being more difficult or expensive to produce. In general, round hole perforated metal mesh is easier and less expensive to manufacture, it is also more commonly produced. Consequently, round hole is slightly lower in final cost compared to square hole mesh.
What Grades Are Available?
The different grades of aluminium perforated metal sheet include 1100, 3003, and 5052, each with its unique properties and applications.
Why Choose Perforated Metal Sheet Over Wire Mesh?
The Mesh Company are historically suppliers of wire mesh; specifically woven wire mesh. However, we are also specialists in the supply of perforated metal sheets. Perforated metal mesh and wire mesh are both commonly used in a variety of applications for their unique properties. While both materials have their advantages and disadvantages, there are certain situations where perforated metal sheets may be preferred over wire mesh.
- Strength and Durability: Perforated metal sheets are typically stronger and more durable than wire mesh. This is because perforated metal sheets are made from solid sheets of metal that have been perforated with small holes, which provides greater structural integrity. In contrast, wire mesh is made from interwoven strands of wire, which may not be as strong as a solid sheet of metal. As you can probably imagine, a thick sheet of metal is naturally stronger than anything this is possible with wire mesh. Some of our perforated mesh options are as thick as 3mm.
- Flexibility: Perforated metal sheets can be manufactured with a range of hole sizes, shapes, and patterns, providing greater flexibility in design and application. Wire mesh, on the other hand, is limited to the available wire diameters and mesh sizes. For example, the range of welded and woven wire mesh options are vastly weighted towards square and rectangular hole.
- Aesthetics: Perforated metal sheets can be produced in a variety of finishes, including polished, brushed, painted, and anodized, giving them a more aesthetic appeal than wire mesh. This is because the surface area of the metal content is usually higher than it is with woven or welded.
- Cost: In general, perforated metal sheets may be more expensive than wire mesh, especially for larger projects. However, the increased strength and durability of perforated metal sheets may make them a more cost-effective option over the long term.
Can It Be Painted?
Yes, aluminium perforated metal sheet can be painted or powder-coated to match the surrounding environment or to achieve a specific aesthetic.
Be careful to avoid clogging the apertures. The larger the hole, the easier it is to avoid blocking the openings.
What Are The Common Applications?
Aluminium perforated metal sheet is used in a variety of applications, including architectural design, building construction, acoustics, filtration, ventilation, and automotive industries.
