Our 6mm hexagonal patterned metal sheet is expertly produced by punching flat sheet metal with a specific hexagonal pattern. This design process is driven by customer requirements for both cosmetic and application purposes. Perforated sheets are commonly used in applications where the passage of air is required, such as ventilation and filtration systems. The punching process used to create these holes results in a finished metal product that is far stronger than an equivalent thickness of woven or welded mesh.

This patterned metal sheet offers a range of key characteristics that make it highly versatile. Its bending and forming capabilities are fair, allowing it to be shaped with basic tools, although thicker sheets may require more effort. While mild steel does not offer high resistance to corrosion, making it less suitable for environments where this is a concern, it is excellent for machining, drilling, and grinding applications. The material also excels in welding, making it easy to suit various project requirements. Additionally, mild steel takes paint well, making it a good choice for projects where a layer of paint is necessary, unlike galvanised and stainless steel options.

Hexagonal Mild Steel Patterned Metal Sheet

6mm hexagonal patterned metal sheet is produced by punching flat sheet metal with a specific hexagonal 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

Specification Of This Mesh:

Hole Size (Aperture) – 6mm hexagonal hole
Pitch – 6.7mm. 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
Pattern – Hexagonal

FAQs For This Product

Can You Cut Perforated Metal Sheet With A Jigsaw?

Yes, a jigsaw can be used to cut patterned metal sheets, especially for thinner sheets. However, it is important to use the right type of jigsaw blade and cutting technique to prevent damage to the metal and ensure a clean, precise cut.

When cutting perforated metal with a jigsaw, it is recommended to use a metal-cutting blade with fine teeth and a T-shank. The blade should be suitable for cutting the specific type and thickness of metal being used.

To cut the perforated metal sheet, first clamp it securely to a work surface to prevent it from moving during the cutting process. Then, using the jigsaw, carefully follow the marked cutting lines, using a slow and steady motion. It is important to maintain a consistent cutting speed and pressure to avoid bending or warping the metal sheet.

Can I Paint This Mesh?

Yes, mild steel perforated metal can be painted using various types of paint, such as oil-based, latex, or enamel paint. However, it is important to properly prepare the surface of the metal before painting to ensure good adhesion and a smooth, even finish.

To paint mild steel perforated metal, follow these steps:

Clean the surface of the metal thoroughly using a degreaser or solvent to remove any dirt, oil, or grease.
Sand the surface of the metal lightly with fine-grit sandpaper to create a slightly rough texture that will help the paint adhere.
Apply a primer to the surface of the metal. This will help the paint adhere better and prevent rust or corrosion.
Once the primer is dry, apply the paint to the surface of the metal using a brush, roller, or spray gun. Apply the paint in thin, even coats, and allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next.
Once the final coat of paint is dry, inspect the surface of the metal for any missed spots or imperfections, and touch up as necessary.

Would This Work As A Rodent Deterrent?

Yes it would be ideal for blocking gaps and vents in indoor environments. We would not recommend this mesh for outdoor applications as it would rust and corrode.
