Description
Perforated sheet metal R12T16 - SAKA 12 mm round holes arranged in a staggered pattern to form a perforated grid Rv12-16 with 51% transparency.
Uses
The R12T16 – SAKA perforated sheet metal SAKA out for its openwork pattern of 12 mm diameter round holes, arranged diagonally at 60°, with a center-to-center spacing of 16 mm. This metal pattern, identified by the reference Rv 12-16, offers an impressive 51% open area, one of the highest levels of transparency in this range of round perforations.
This wide-opening perforated configuration promotes maximum breathability while maintaining a mechanically balanced grid. The staggered arrangement helps to absorb surface tension, ensure even stress distribution, and give the sheet a uniform appearance without a rigid grid effect. This pattern creates a dynamic metallic veil, subtly playing with light, reflections, and depth like a metal mashrabiya.
Perforated aesthetics with a strong visual impact
Graphically speaking, R12T16 perforated sheet metal asserts a confident industrial style with a touch of raw modernity. Seen up close, the regularity of the pattern creates a powerful visual rhythm, while from a distance, the sheet metal becomes a semi-transparent veil with a very light appearance. This visual effect is particularly appreciated in contemporary architecture, metal furniture design, or urban projects where robustness and design must coexist.
Recommendations for use and precautions:
- Due to its low residual material content, its resistance to direct impact will be slightly reduced compared to denser perforated sheet metal: it is advisable to fix it in a rigid metal frame to avoid the risk of buckling on panels larger than 2 m².
- R12T16 perforated sheet metal is less suitable for sensitive environments (nurseries, schools, anti-finger-trapping areas) due to its large-diameter holes.
The purchase price of R12T16 perforated sheet metal is €50 to €70/m² for an order of approximately 100 m², varying according to the layout and finishing options related to the project layout.
