Round Hole Perforated Metal

Material Options

• Carbon Steel
• Stainless Steel (e.g., Type 304)
• Galvanized Steel
• Aluminum
• Plastic (PLASTIPERF™)

Dimensions

• Sheet Sizes: Common stock sizes include 48" x 96" and 60" x 120", but custom sizes can be produced.
• Thickness: Typically ranges from 0.025 inches to 0.250 inches, depending on the application and material.

Hole Sizes

• Diameter Options: Available hole sizes range from as small as 1/8 inch to larger sizes like 2 inches or more.
• Staggered Centers: Common arrangements include staggered patterns (e.g., 60-degree stagger, 45-degree stagger) and straight-line patterns.

Open Area

• The percentage of open area varies based on hole size and pattern. Typical open area percentages range from approximately 40% to 63%, allowing for airflow and light passage.

Structural Characteristics

• Gauge: The thickness of the material is often specified in gauge, with common gauges ranging from #10 to #20.
• Strength: Round hole perforated metal is known for its durability and strength, making it suitable for load-bearing applications.

Applications

• Architectural Features: Such as facades, screens, and decorative elements.
• Industrial Uses: Including filtration systems, noise barriers, and safety guards.
• Security Applications: For windows, gates, and enclosures.
• Air Filtration: Used in HVAC systems to improve airflow while filtering particulates.

Benefits

• Versatility: Suitable for both functional and aesthetic applications.
• Cost-Effectiveness: Generally more affordable due to easier manufacturing processes compared to other hole shapes.
• Customization: Available in various materials, sizes, and hole patterns to meet specific project requirements.
