Perforated metal offers an extremely versatile solution for
companies in numerous industries. Perforated metal sheet products are manufactured with the use of
punches or presses that produce slots, bars, holes or other
patterns in the metal. Perforation may be conducted for functional
purposes, such as making the product more adaptable to the
manufacturer’s performance requirements, or to enhance the
appearance of the finished product. Our perforated metal is
versatile and functional in all architectural applications.
Blue-star fabricates a wide variety of perforated metal that have very different hole patterns and openings. Each have their own benefits and specific applications. We have stock lists for round and square holes, and if you are looking for more spec sheets go to our perforated metal resource section.
![]() | Round hole perforated metal is the most popular pattern type because of its versatility and broad selection of gauges, diameters and material choices for customization. Round hole metal offers the ideal combination of affordability, ease-of-use and minimal maintenance requirements. No matter what kind of project you need perforated metal for, this pattern can be custom punched to fit your exact sizes and specifications. |
![]() | The square hole perforated metal sheet from Marco Specialty Steel is aesthetically pleasing and works well in architectural applications. Square hole metal offers a high strength-to-weight ratio along with a larger open area than many other metal hole types. Even though the square holes allow more material or air to pass through, this kind of perforated metal is still sturdy and easy to maintain. Square hole patterns are available in straight line or staggered. |
![]() | Slotted holes are more oblong and look like an oval or rectangle when they are custom-punched. Slotted hole perforated metal is designed specifically for materials and airflow to pass through without making the metal less reliable and sturdy. We offer slotted perforated metal sheets for numerous applications including vents, filters, diffusers, speaker grilles and many others. This pattern type is very flexible and can be formed into unique shapes. |
![]() | Ornamental / decorative hole perforated metal is different than standard punch due to its unusual patters. Our ornamental / decorative perforated metal is available in a vast variety of hole shapes, gauges and materials in strait and staggered patterns. Use ornamental perforated metal sheets for applications such as walls and partitions, screens, vents and diffusers. The decorative patterns have many architectural benefits. |

extra corrosion protection.
Perforated steel sheet is an extremely durable product that will
deliver long-lasting performance in the most challenging
environmental conditions.
Perforated metal is available in a wide variety of thicknesses to
suit any manufacturing application. It features excellent sound
abatement, making it a good choice for buildings and areas where
noise reduction is essential. Perforated metal’s size accuracy
increases the likelihood of a successful outcome for your projects.
