Square hole perforated metal: Shape up your perforation style

Think perforated metal and you may think of round holes – but square hole perforated metal is fast becoming the stylish shape of choice for discerning architects, contractors and interior designers.

Visually appealing, square holes offer a uniform, contemporary and structured style, perfect for the current interior and exterior industrial design trends.

For applications that need to perform, a wide range of open area percentages can easily be achieved in square hole perforated metal with a choice of diagonal or straight pitch without sacrificing strength – making it a versatile and durable choice for practical applications.

To see why square hole perforated metal is perforation perfection, take a look at some of our favourites uses of square hole perforated metal in interior and exterior design:
