Perforated sheets and plates
Perforated sheet is flat metal with a regular pattern of holes punched through it. The shape, size and pitch of the holes settle three things at once: how much air and light the sheet lets through, how much it carries, and how it looks.
The commonest pattern is Rv: round holes in a staggered layout, which gives an even surface and a good open area. The designation “Rv 5-8” means a 5 mm hole on an 8 mm pitch between hole centres.
Besides plain perforated sheet, the catalogue holds anti-slip slotted plate (MLG), used on walkway platforms and stairs, and framing profiles for finishing the edge of a sheet.

Where it is used
Facades and screens
Facade cassettes, balcony balustrades and sun screens, where something has to be screened and air still let through.
Sieves and separators
Screening material and separating it into fractions. The hole size is chosen for the material being screened.
Machine guards and ventilation
Guards for equipment and covers over ventilation openings, where airflow and visibility are both needed.
Interiors and acoustics
Partitions, ceiling panels and furniture details; perforated sheet also damps noise when there is absorbent material behind it.
How to choose
- Rv
- Round hole in a staggered layout.
- Rd
- Round hole in a straight row.
- Qg
- Square hole.
- Lg
- Slotted hole.
- MLG
- Anti-slip slot for walkway platforms and stairs.
- Open area
- The holes as a percentage of the sheet surface. It sets how much air and light pass through.
Designations
Hole shape and pattern
A round hole in a staggered layout (Rv) is the general-purpose choice and the commonest. Square and slotted sheets are chosen either for a technical reason (how the material passes through) or for appearance.
Hole size and pitch
The designation “Rv 5-8” means a 5 mm hole on an 8 mm pitch. The smaller the pitch relative to the hole, the greater the open area and the weaker the sheet.
Thickness
A thin sheet (0.7-1 mm) suits cladding and interiors. For a load-bearing or walked-on surface, choose 2-3 mm.
Unperforated margin
If the sheet is fixed into a frame or profile, it is worth leaving an unperforated strip at the edges. Say so in the request.
Frequently asked questions
What does the designation Rv 5-8 mean?
Rv is a round hole in a staggered layout. The first figure is the hole diameter in millimetres, the second the pitch between hole centres. Rv 5-8 is a 5 mm hole on an 8 mm pitch.
Can perforated sheet be used as a load-bearing structure?
The holes make perforated sheet weaker than a plain sheet of the same thickness. For a walked-on surface, choose a thicker sheet with close support beneath it, or use the anti-slip MLG plate made for the purpose.
Can the sheet be cut to size?
Yes. Give the final dimensions and say whether an unperforated strip has to remain at the edges.
