Why Choose Perforated Infill Panels?
Metal Infills are popular amongst our customers in Ireland and the UK for a number of key reasons. Perforated Panels for stairways and balconies offer many advantages:
- It is easily cut and folded, thus three dimensional corners on stair returns do not pose an issue and, in addition, moisture traps cannot form
- The solid state characteristic of Perforated Metal is favourable to other types of mesh as there are no areas where water or dirt can lodge
- Due to its open area, it is favourable for wind absorption and rain deflection
- Pattern-Perf and Picture-Perf have aesthetical advantages over standard meshes. Please refer to our Picture-Perf and Bespoke metal products to learn more
