Fabricators use perforation to create a unique sheet metal texture. These textures have aesthetic and functional uses. Thus, high-quality perforating machines are capable of producing a wide variety of complex metal sheet textures.
You can find thousands of texture varieties from dependable fabricators. You might take more time to decide which pattern works for your project. With this in mind, we've made this helpful short guide to aid you.
How Much Material Is Gone?
Perforation creates holes on sheet metal. Fabricators recycle these fragments for safety and waste materials accounting. As a result, the sheet metal's density decreases due to perforation.
Fabricators measure perforation density as an open area. This metric will measure the sheet metal pattern's solid, liquid, and gas permeation levels. Functional and aesthetic sheet metal textures can have 25-75% open area on average.
What Hole Sizes Do You Need?
A sheet metal pattern's hole size determines its permeation levels. Plus, it affects the sheet metal texture's aesthetics. Small holes give you near-opaque barriers. On the other hand, large holes give you a unique look. Both hole sizes have a great usefulness for practical and aesthetic purposes.
Which Hole Design Works For You?
Fabricators can offer customers various hole designs suitable for their needs. Learn more about each of them below.
Round: Circular holes are the cheapest options for customers because they use less energy during the process. Plus, they automatically introduce an appealing pattern after perforation.
Square: These shapes produce uncommon metal textures. In addition, they see wide practical use because they have high liquid and gas permeation levels
Designer: Fabricators with special machinery can create custom shapes and patterns for aesthetic purposes. Ferrier Wire and Design Metals have the machinery and handmade methods to produce special metal mesh textures.
