Solutions Driven

Perforated metal is a form of sheet metal that has been punched or stamped with a machine to create a pattern of holes.  It is also known as perforated sheet, perforated plate, or perforated screen and is commonly made from aluminium, cold rolled steel, stainless steel and many other decorative substrates including brass and copper.

The process of perforating metal has been around for over 150 years. Originally designed for the efficient separation of coal, the perforations were manually punched by hand. Increased demand has now seen that process developed beyond rotary pinned rollers, die and punch presses and right through to laser cutting.
