Properties of perforated metal sheets
Perforated sheets are materials that have undergone the process of cutting holes of regular or irregular shape in order to obtain a characteristic perforation pattern. The holes can range from traditional circles and squares to more complex, artistic patterns. A key feature of perforated sheets is their variety, which allows the appearance of the perforations to be customized to meet specific project requirements.

Advantages of perforated metal sheets
Clearance—perforated sheets are known primarily for allowing controlled air and light flow. The clearances in the sheets allow natural interior lighting while providing privacy and protection from excessive sunlight. This is especially important in projects where the balance between natural light and privacy is crucial.

Air permeability—effective ventilation is one of the main factors affecting air quality inside a building. Perforated sheets allow air to flow freely, which is extremely important for keeping the air fresh and preventing moisture and fungi from collecting. Thanks to the permeable properties of perforated sheets, it is possible to create a healthy and comfortable indoor environment.

Aesthetics—Perforated sheets offer endless design possibilities, allowing architects to experiment with different perforation patterns and shapes. These unique patterns can become the hallmark of a project, giving it a unique character and style. Perforated sheets allow you to create unique facades and interiors that stand out from standard solutions.
Durability—perforated sheets are usually made of high-quality materials, such as stainless steel or aluminum. This ensures their durability and resistance to weather conditions and corrosive processes. This makes them suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
