Today more than ever, building owners are demanding buildings built with environmentally friendly materials. Metal is the green material to meet this demand. First, perforated metal is recyclable - not just once, but many times. Using perforated metal reduces the consumption of our natural resources and promotes sustainability. Most of the recycled metal is used in the manufacturing process of perforated metal. The waste generated in the manufacturing process is also recyclable. 


Second, by its very nature, perforated metal is environmentally friendly, using less metal than a metal panel of the same size. Perforation reduces the amount of metal used by between 10% and 40%. The reduced weight means less fuel is required to transport it to your site. 


Finally, buildings designed with perforated metal as a functional element have better temperature regulation and higher energy efficiency. If the light is allowed to pass freely through perforated metal panels, the amount of interior artificial lighting required is reduced. Taking all of these factors into account, you can see that perforated metal leaves a smaller environmental footprint than other building materials.

What are the benefits of perforated metal?

  • Perforated metal can be used for structural and decorative applications in architecture and design, including railings, facades, stairs, and screens, where its properties allow for creativity in light, sound, and visual depth.

  • Perforated metal can be used to regulate light and ventilation within a space. It can block or limit direct light, while still allowing airflow. This helps reduce energy consumption.

  • It can enhance privacy and create a sense of enclosure without completely enclosing the space, as it has a somewhat transparent effect when viewed from a distance.


  • Perforated metal can diffuse sound. For example, panels installed along the ceiling can be used to prevent echoes.

  • It is a non-slip and easy-to-clean choice for walkways and stair treads. It is also durable and has a high load-bearing capacity.

  • Outdoors, perforated metal on stairs, walkways, and benches is ideal where drainage is needed because water can slide right through the holes.

Made for many applications

Just as there are a variety of perforated metal materials to choose from, the ways in which they can be used are virtually limitless. The durability and versatility offered by metal materials make them perfect for just about anything you can imagine. From functional to purely decorative uses, BZWIREMESH can provide a solution that fits your operations and properties.


Select custom designs for decorative perforated metal

When perforated metal panels are used for decorative purposes only, appearance is given priority over practicality. However, the choice of metal materials, profiles, and finishes still need to be considered. If the design is particularly complex and closely spaced, this will dictate the choice of metal material and profile to ensure that the perforation pattern can be practically realized and the product is fit for purpose. The internal or external location will also affect the finish to maintain color and wearability.


Our team of experts at BZWIREMESH will advise which materials and profiles are best suited to your decorative perforated metal design and recommend any design adjustments as needed. BZWIREMESH can do the bending, framing, and assembling for the decorative perforated metal according to clients’ requirements. After being treated, the finished assemblies can be easily installed on the construction site.
