Perforated Sheet Metal is the process of punching holes into the sheeting in either a decorative or purposeful manner – Depending on the industry it is produced for. Let’s get specific about our industry, many of our clients have been ordering perforated flashings lately; however we have been obsessed with a different application currently. Perforated Cladding – What better way to elevate a facade. The shifting sun coupled with the various perforated patterns induces a stunning transfer of light. This system has been very sought after by Architects and Builders who are seeking to create an ambiance to the streetscape that may flow through to the internals

“Stylistic, purposeful & playful – The perfect choice for your bext project.

Eltham Leisure Centre
Material: 3.0mm Aluminium

This pool enclosure carries an exceptional 300m2  of Perforated Cladding. Snaking around the enclosure the panels fixed to a segmented framework to create a wave effect. The simple yet effective screen encourages engagement from the outside in with its 40mm staggered hole pattern perforated by our Amada turret puncher. From the outside, the cladding shines its reflective surface through the Zeus Lunar Grey Matt powder coating which glistens with the sun. Creating a stunning glow from the outside and a plethora of diffused light and shadows from the within – This was a carefully considered plan.
