A perforated metal is sheet metal that has been stamped, fabricated, or punched to create a pattern of holes, slots, and various aesthetic shapes
Though perforated metals are valued for their aesthetic appeal, they have several benefits beyond their appearance.
The process of perforating, which used to be extremely labor intensive, has been modernized and mechanized to meet present day standards.
The types of perforated metals are determined by the shape of the punctures, which include round, rectangular, diamond shaped, hexagonal, slotted, and combinations, to name a few.
From its beginnings as a protective covering for military use, perforated metals have progressed to become an essential part of several industries as decorative art, structural support, filtration systems, and protective covering.
