Perforated metal is often used for industrial and commercial buildings and is now increasingly used in architectural design for car parks, schools, multi-storey residential, stadiums, libraries and other structures. Due to Metrix Group’s ability to form exquisite shapes with visual depth, perforated metal is ideal for structural and decorative applications. Perforated panels can shield and enclose spaces while allowing for light spill, visual openness and ventilation.
Ways to Use Perforated Metal Inside
Perforated metal has become a staple material in modern architectural design with its intricate mesh-like appearance and unique combination of form and function. For intricate decorative details, perforated metal is a quality material for facades and stylish furniture. Its versatility and structural integrity make it perfect for stair treads and applications in outdoor spaces where direct light needs to be limited. Perforated metal is also great for indoor decorations and functions.
The diverse ways perforated metal panels can elevate your design projects include the following:
The Transformative Effect of Perforation Technology
Transform a perforated metal staircase with custom steel or aluminium mesh treads. The blend of solid and durable qualities and visual appeal adds a modern touch while maintaining slip resistance. Adding perforated steel or aluminum balustrades to a metal staircase can enhance your indoor decor. The transparent effect of perforated metal can achieve light filtration and visual connection while providing safety and visual openness.
More Ways to Use Perforated Sheet Metal Indoors
You can use a perforated metal sheet for a room divider or custom-designed screens. Incorporating geometric shapes, floral patterns, or custom artwork can create decorative details and enclose spaces. Other creative ways to use perforated metal include floor-to-ceiling privacy screens for a harmonious balance. Perforated decorative metal screens diffuse sound, regulate light, and offer privacy and more protection from the elements without completely blocking views.
Decorative Perforated Metal in an Outdoor Space
A perforated metal awning or perforated metal facade in an outdoor space used for structural and decorative applications can add a dramatic dimension and sun protection to buildings. Choose from standard perforation holes or custom designs to create an unforgettable signature look. Perforated steel balustrades provide style and safety for outdoor stairways leading from roofs or balconies. A perforated metal staircase with perforated sheet metal stair treads is safe, stylish and efficient to install.
Other ways to use perforated metal outdoors include:
Perforated Metal Screen in Outdoor Spaces:
Enhance muti-storey residential with perforated metal screens in a biophilic pattern or the custom design of your choice. Perforated metal screens create a sense of privacy, provide visual appeal, and filter sunlight. They are strong and durable, offering wind and rain protection and allowing light to filter through.
Decorative Perforated Panels for HVAC System Cover-Up:
Disguise unsightly HVAC units with perforated metal screens, panels, or an outdoor awning for protection. Choose a perforated metal design that complements your exterior while allowing for necessary airflow.
Sustainable Design Using Perforated Metal:
Perforated metal helps regulate building temperatures naturally by filtering direct sunlight and promoting air circulation. A perforated screen encloses spaces, meaning less heating and cooling is needed in an office or home area, reducing energy consumption.
The Advantages of Perforated Metal
Perforated metal is robust and durable, offering exceptional structural integrity and high load-bearing capacity while remaining lightweight. Perforated metal is versatile, available in various materials, thicknesses and perforation patterns, and adapts to diverse design needs. At Metrix Group, we can create intricate designs for an exterior facade with custom perforated sheets to provide visual interest and match your unique vision for an existing structure or new build.
Our perforated metal options are fire-resistant (Tested and Certified) and slip-resistant, adding an extra layer of safety for stair treads and other applications. Perforated metal shines in architectural, industrial and commercial venues with numerous applications, including:

Harness the Power of Perforated Metal
With Metrix Group, you can harness the power of industrial-quality customised or standard perforated metal panels as an exterior screen of a particular shape or size. Our metal sheets can be punched in various shapes, allowing natural light to spill through the typically circular holes (Or try something new and exciting with Pebblestone™) and creating intricate shadows for decorative effect.
