Perforated metal best sellers

Out of all the patterns that you can choose, there are three perforated metal best sellers that never go out of fashion.

Timeless and stylishly simple, these are the future-proof profiles that you’ll commonly see as building facades, balustrade or screening, because they’re a cost-effective product that never dates when it comes to changing architectural trends:

ROUND HOLE

At the top of our three perforated metal best sellers list is the round hole profile. One of the easiest to punch yet also one of the strongest perforated metal patterns available, it’s the number one choice for architects looking for a versatile and classic style.

Simply vary the hole sizes and open area percentages and you can achieve a variety of different looks. Just take a look at Pattern 222 and Pattern 218 – both feature super contemporary small 3.2mm round holes, but the finished result is completely different in style and effect due to open area percentage variations.

Closely-spaced round perforations like Pattern 218 are great to maximise light ventilation and air flow whilst still maintaining privacy.

Arrow Metal project examples of round hole profiles include the custom facade we created for Wayside Chapel, Bankstown Tennis Centre’s sports-themed mural and balustrade for St Ursula’s College.

SQUARE HOLE

The structured and orderly pattern of square hole perforations make this profile another one of our perforated metal best sellers.

Perfect for architects and designers who want a shape that stands out, square holes can be specified in diagonal or straight pitch to achieve different effects.

Check out the grid-like formation of Pattern 412 and the chequerboard style of Pattern 405. Or go big and bold with Pattern 448, or Pattern 449 for an equivalent sideways style.

RECTANGLE HOLE

Elegantly elongated, rectangle hole profiles have fast become a favourite for architects looking for a sophisticated result.  Check out the staggered arrangement of Pattern 392  or the straight pitch arrangement of Pattern 397 for a different look.

And if you want something a little softer? Opt for round-end slots – it has the same geometric appeal but with rounded edges.

Just take a look at the supersized lobby of Sydney’s new George Street Precinct building, which features Arrow Metal custom perforated metal sheets with Pattern 368. The small perforations and close spacing give a modern micro effect that perfectly reflects the prestige of this premium development.

Or the award winning NeW Space, University of Newcastle installed with our Pattern 376,  which meets the required wind tunnel testing criteria of the project, at the same time give the building a modern futuristic look.
