The 5mm mild steel perforated metal mesh sheet is a versatile product, manufactured by punching flat sheet metal with a consistent square hole pattern. This process is tailored to meet customer requirements, whether for cosmetic or functional purposes. Known for its strength and durability, this perforated sheet is an excellent option for applications where airflow or filtration is required, such as ventilation systems or industrial screening. The perforated design not only enhances the material’s strength compared to woven or welded mesh of similar thickness but also allows for effective air or fluid passage.

With a 5mm square hole size and an 8mm pitch, the sheet achieves an ideal balance between open area and material stability. At 1mm thickness, the sheet is robust enough for various uses while remaining manageable for cutting and shaping. Mild steel is a reliable material for machining, drilling, and grinding, making it easy to adapt to specific project needs. It is also an excellent choice for welding, allowing for seamless integration into larger structures. While mild steel has limited corrosion resistance, it can be easily painted to enhance its lifespan and aesthetic appeal, particularly in environments where moisture exposure is limited.

This mild steel perforated metal mesh sheet is a cost-effective solution for projects requiring strength, adaptability, and airflow. Whether used for ventilation grilles, machinery guards, or decorative panels, its practicality and durability make it a valuable choice for industrial, commercial, and DIY applications. For enhanced corrosion resistance, stainless steel alternatives are also available.

Description

Mild Steel Perforated Metal Mesh Sheet

5mm mild steel perforated metal mesh sheet is produced by punching flat sheet metal with a specific pattern. This is driven by the customer’s requirement for the metal for cosmetic or application purposes.

Perforated sheets are commonly often used in applications where the passing of air is required. Because the holes are punched it is possible to have a far stronger finished metal product than it would be for the equivalent thickness in woven or welded mesh. Ventilation and filtration are the main uses for this mesh type.

Here is a quick breakdown of the key characteristics of this sheet metal:

  • Bending & Forming – Fair. You could bend this metal with basic tools but not by hand. The thicker the sheet the harder this is to do
  • Corrosion Resistance – Poor. We do not recommend mild steel f you require high resistance to corrosion. You should use one of our stainless steel options if this is required
  • Machining, Drilling & Grinding: Good. Mild steel is the metal choice for many forms of machining and grinding
  • Welding – Excellent. You could easily weld with this mesh to suit your requirements
  • Painting – Good. Mild steel is used when a layer of paint needs to be added. Galvanised and stainless steel will not take paint

Mesh Specifications

The specifications of this perforated metal mesh sheet are as follows:

  • Hole Size (Aperture) – 5mm square hole
  • Pitch – 8mm. The pitch is measured from the start of one hole to the next or the hole size plus the gap between the hole
  • Thickness – 1mm thick flat sheet

Square Hole

This type of perforated metal sheet has even square holes. We also offer round and various other shapes.

Square holed steel and aluminium mesh are suitable for a large range of purposes. We have set a wide range of sheet sizes through this listing that should cover most requirements.

All of our perforated metal is available in a maximum of 2000 x 1000mm sheet size upon request. Please email us if you wish to discuss purchasing these larger sheets – sales@themeshcompany.com.

Mild Steel

Plain steel does not have any coating layers, consequently it is easy for it to show signs of rust and corrosion. Rust is especially likely when used in damp environments.

If your perforated steel does show signs off rust then you should employ WD40 or buff it out with a sander.

Welding and painting are easy with mild steel. This plain steel is also magnetic.

Perforated Metal Uses

Our customers have used perforated metals for the following applications:

  • Airbrick vent coverings for rodent control and airflow
  • Air conditioning guards
  • Bridge and balustrade construction
  • Various structural steel works
  • Automotive repair
  • Various DIY and basic engineering applications
