Perforated Aluminum

PAC-CLAD Perforated Aluminum is perforated flat sheet and selected aluminum roll-formed wall panel profiles from Petersen. Typical uses are equipment screens, partitions, sign panels, parking decks, guards, interior acoustical applications and enclosures.

Perforation diffuses light, air or sound and contrasts with non-perforated metal. Perforation options depend on the panel profile and aluminum thickness.

• Equipment screens
• Partitions
• Sign panels
• Parking decks
• Guards
• Interior acoustical applications
• Enclosures

Perforation is also used to diffuse light, air or sound.

Perforation is offered on the exposed-fastener and Precision Series lines. The exposed-fastener guide specification covers the R-36 in .032, .040 and .050 aluminum, painted on one side, with a 20-year finish warranty period. The enclosure and ventilation use is shown on a parking structure built with perforated 7.2 Rib panels.

Perforated panels are used alongside standard metal wall panels in the PAC-CLAD range. Board and Batten, Flush and Reveal wall panels and the Precision Series HWP are the related products listed on the same page.
