Drawing-Based Perforation & Cut-to-Size Supply

Define the hole pattern, finished size and edge condition

YueChu Metal supplies perforated sheets in carbon steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel and aluminium. This page covers how to specify the perforation and finished sheet; use our material pages to compare grades and surface finishes.

Send a dimensioned drawing or reference sample. Include the hole orientation, pattern limits, solid borders, cut-outs and any subsequent forming so that the finished sheet can be reviewed against the intended assembly.

  • Custom hole size, pitch, sheet thickness, open area and cut-to-size panel dimensions.
  • Available in carbon steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.
  • Surface finishes include mill finish, galvanized, anodized, and powder coated.
  • Export packing by pallet, carton, or project-specific protection.

Product overview

How to Define Your Perforation Pattern

A perforation specification combines hole shape, hole size, centre-to-centre pitch and arrangement. These dimensions determine the open area and remaining metal between holes; they must be selected together with sheet thickness and material.

Perforated metal sheet parameters showing hole diameter, pitch, bridge width, thickness and open area

Hole Size, Pitch & Bridge Width

  • For round holes, specify the diameter and whether the rows are straight or staggered.
  • For slots, specify width, length, end shape, orientation and pitch in both directions.
  • Bridge width is the metal remaining between neighbouring holes. For a straight row of equal round holes, it is pitch minus diameter.
  • State whether open area applies to the perforated field or the entire sheet, including solid borders.

Use the perforated metal calculator for a preliminary weight and open-area estimate. The drawing controls the finished pattern and margins.

Cutting, Edge Condition & Fabrication

Specify overall width and length, dimensional tolerances, squareness, burr direction and any deburring requirement. Show solid borders, fixing holes, notches and cut-outs on the drawing.

For bent or formed parts, provide the finished drawing, bend lines and required orientation of the hole pattern. Confirm the fabrication sequence and surface finish before production.

Choosing the Material

Compare carbon steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel and aluminium perforated sheet for the service environment and finish.

Buyer questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I specify round holes or slots?

For round holes, state the diameter, centre-to-centre pitch and straight or staggered arrangement. For slots, state width, length, end shape, orientation and pitch in both directions. Include the sheet thickness and solid margins.

What is the difference between pitch and bridge width?

Pitch is the centre-to-centre spacing between holes. Bridge width is the metal remaining between neighbouring holes. For equal round holes in a straight row, bridge width equals pitch minus hole diameter.

Can I order cut-to-size sheets with solid borders?

Yes. Show the finished width and length, solid border dimensions, hole-pattern limits, cut-outs and fixing holes on the drawing. Confirm tolerances, burr direction and edge condition before production.

How should open area be specified?

State the target percentage and whether it refers to the perforated field or the full sheet including solid margins. Hole size, pitch and arrangement must be reviewed together to meet the target.

What should I send for a quotation?

Send the material grade, thickness, dimensioned hole pattern, finished size, solid margins, quantity, finish, tolerances, application and destination. Include the drawing revision and any sample approval requirement.
