Perforated metal: from architecture to furniture — strong and stylish.
Perforated Sheet — New Decorative Possibilities
Today, more and more opportunities are arising in the use of a modern material known as the perforated sheet, a metal product with numerous holes. This material is used not only for construction work but also for decorating buildings. With its openwork lightness, the perforated sheet is increasingly employed by designers and builders to create a unique architectural expression.
Modern construction uses many methods to combine strength and durability with an attractive appearance. Welded grating and various metal structures are used. As for the perforated sheet in architecture, it is applied to façades when installing cladding panels and when creating wind-protection and noise-reducing elements. In addition, the perforated sheet serves as an excellent embellishment for the façade. Inside buildings, it is used in the construction of railings for staircases and balconies.
In interiors, the perforated sheet allows the creation of original decorative elements. These can include wall panels, partitions, columns, suspended ceilings, distinctive casings for heating elements, and decorations for staircases. Alongside grating decking, the perforated sheet can become the foundation for durable and attractive decorative elements.
Perforated sheet is widely used in the manufacture of commercial equipment and modern furniture. It is used to make bar counters, reception desks, display shelving, cabinet components, chairs, warehouse shelving, advertising equipment, and brochure holders.
In urban and private construction, perforated sheet is widely used to create small architectural forms. These can be gazebos, bus shelters, trash bins, lamps, benches, various fences, advertising stands, and landscape decoration elements.
Perforated sheet is also used in the manufacture of specialized products for the food industry. These can include baking trays for bakeries, sieves, filters, and other items necessary to support production processes.
Perforated sheets can be produced from carbon steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel, and aluminum alloy. For the fabrication of certain elements, perforated sheets are painted to create an additional protective layer and to provide an attractive appearance.
