3.5mm Hexagonal Hole Galvanised Steel Perforated Decorative Mesh Panels – 4.5mm Pitch – 1mm Thick

Description

Galvanised Steel Perforated Decorative Mesh

Galvanised steel hexagonal perforated decorative mesh panels are produced by punching flat galvanised plate with a specific round pattern.

The decorative mesh panels offer a distinctive hexagonal perforated pattern, crafted from galvanised steel, ensuring durability and rust resistance. With a hole size, or aperture, of 3.5mm from metal to metal, these panels present a visually pleasing design while maintaining functionality. The pitch, or distance from the start of one hole to the next, is 4.5mm, factoring in both the hole size and the gap between holes. This precise spacing ensures a consistent look and feel across the panel. At a thickness of 1mm, the flat sheet starts off robust, which, when punched, results in a panel with a delicate balance of strength and flexibility.

This makes it ideal for a range of applications, from decorative partitions in homes and offices to garden screens and architectural features. Furthermore, the hexagonal pattern not only offers aesthetic appeal but also provides an efficient way to shield spaces while allowing air and light to permeate. In essence, these decorative mesh panels are perfect for those looking to blend style with practicality.

Specification Of This Mesh:

• Customer service: The Mesh Company place a high priority on service and offer excellent support and assistance to our customers. This can help to ensure that you will have a positive experience when working with The Mesh Company.

We also offer a massive range of galvanised perforated metal sheet options from immediate stock. Galvanised steel perforated sheet is produced through a process known as punching. The process begins with a flat sheet of galvanised steel, which is then fed into a machine called a perforator. The perforator uses a punch and die set to punch out holes in the steel sheet. The size and shape of the holes can be customised to meet specific requirements, such as hole diameter, spacing, and pattern.

FAQs For This Product

How Does The Hexagonal Pattern Impact Light Passage?

The hexagonal pattern of the decorative mesh panels uniquely influences light passage. Light filters through the six-sided, symmetrical design in a scattering manner, creating an interesting play of shadows and light patterns. A hexagonal mesh provides more angles for light to refract, producing a softer, diffused light effect on surfaces when compared to a square or round mesh. When the light source changes position, like the sun throughout the day, this can result in dynamic visual effects.

Moreover, the size of the hexagonal holes – in this case, 3.5mm – also plays a role. The larger the aperture, the more light will pass through, while the smaller the aperture, the less light will pass through. Essentially, hexagonal patterns not only add aesthetic appeal, but also enhance a space’s light dynamics by altering and enhancing light dynamics.

Can The Panels Be Painted Or Treated For A Different Finish?

Given that these panels are made of galvanised steel, they have a protective zinc coating that prevents rusting. Before painting or applying a treatment:

1. Cleaning: Start by thoroughly cleaning the panels to remove any dirt, grease, or other residues. Using a mild detergent solution can be effective.
2. Surface Preparation: To ensure the paint adheres properly, you might need to lightly sand the surface using fine-grit sandpaper. This creates a rougher surface for the paint to bond with. For treatments, ensure the panel is compatible with the specific product.
3. Primer Application: Use a primer that’s formulated for metal surfaces, especially galvanised metal. This step ensures a better bond between the paint and the metal and reduces the risk of peeling or chipping later on.
4. Painting: Once the primer is dry, apply the paint of your choice. It’s best to use paints designed for metal surfaces to ensure longevity and resistance to weather elements. If you opt for spray painting, ensure you apply even coats without over-spraying.
5. Sealant (Optional): For added protection, especially for outdoor panels, consider applying a clear sealant over the painted surface. This can enhance the lifespan of the paint and offer additional resistance against moisture and UV rays.

Are The Decorative Mesh Panels Fire Resistant?

Yes, the decorative mesh panels made from galvanised steel are inherently fire-resistant. Due to its high melting point and lack of fuel for flames, steel can withstand high temperatures without catching fire or spreading flames. In addition, the galvanised coating ensures that the panels remain corrosion-resistant even after being exposed to high temperatures.

Despite the fact that the panels themselves are fire-resistant, any paint or coating applied to them may have different fire-resistant properties. Be sure that any treatments or finishes applied are compatible with the intended use and meet the necessary fire safety standards. In an environment with strict fire regulations, it may be prudent to check whether any additional materials or treatments are fire-resistant.
