The Benefits Of Our Metal Balustrade Infill
- Weather Resistance and Protection: Perforated panels act as windbreaks and provide light rain deflection without fully obstructing the view or airflow.
- Low Maintenance: Dirt and water rarely accumulate due to the open surface, reducing the need for regular cleaning.
- Easy to Work With: The panels can be cut, folded, and formed to wrap around corners or adapt to staircases and multi-level platforms.
- Custom Options Available: We manufacture in standard patterns, decorative finishes, or bespoke Picture-Perf, which allows imagery and graphics to be integrated into the metalwork.
- Suitable For Any Project: Offered in a range of materials and finishes to suit both interior and exterior environments, with consistent compliance with safety standards.
How To Choose The Right Perforated Balustrade Infill Panels?
Step 1: Select Your Sheet Material, Size, and Thickness
- Sheet material: Choose from mild steel, pre-galvanised steel, aluminium, stainless steel, or corten depending on your desired strength, look, and corrosion resistance.
- Sheet size: Standard sizes include 2×1m, 2.5×1.25m, and 3×1.5m, with custom sizing available to suit your project.
- Sheet thickness: Popular options range from 2mm to 4mm. Thinner or thicker sheets are available depending on load requirements and visual preference.
Step 2: Decide On The Perforation Design
- Hole size: Our typical perforation sizes range from 2mm to 50mm. Smaller or larger options can be manufactured on request.
- Percentage open area: Choose from standard 20% to 50% open areas. Higher open areas are possible for applications prioritising maximum airflow or visibility.
Step 3: Additional Features
Finishes such as powder coating, anodising, or galvanising can add a layer of protection or help your design stand out. These finishes can improve visual cohesion with other materials in the build.
Our fabrication services include cutting, folding, rolling, and framing. We manufacture perforated sheets to your specifications, whether for flat panels or 3D architectural features.
