ITORAS (C13U18)

Description

C13U18 perforated sheet metal – Itoras a bold geometric structure with good transparency and sufficient mechanical strength. Its openwork pattern consists of 13 mm square holes, regularly aligned in an orthogonal grid with a center-to-center distance of 18 mm, creating a standard square grid Qg13-18. The perforation offers an openness ratio of 52%, balancing airflow, light, and material. Thanks to this simple, straight-line metal mesh, C13U18 Itoras perforated sheet metal Itoras visual rigor and sobriety to all types of surfaces. Its graphic repetition is clearly visible, without visual overload, and offers a fluid reading both from a distance and up close, ideal for contemporary architectural projects or chic industrial design. Structurally, the 5 mm of solid material between the holes allows the plate to maintain good bending strength, even in large formats. This square perforated design is an effective compromise between light aesthetics and structural strength, particularly for applications subject to moderate stresses. Technical and aesthetic advantages: - Good mechanical strength, particularly for modules up to 1200 to 1400 mm without a frame. - Available in steel, galvanized steel, or aluminum, with standard thicknesses from 1.5 mm to 2 mm. - Compatible with bending, fixing holes, and welded or screwed frames. - Oven-baked powder coating finish available in the entire RAL color chart for a matte, textured, or glossy finish. Visually, the 13 mm square holes diffuse a clear, projected light with bold geometric shadows. This luminous grid, which changes depending on the exposure and movement of natural light, creates a rhythmic yet soothing architectural atmosphere. Perfect for dressing up facades, filtering a space, or enlivening a partition, while maintaining functionality and robustness. The price of C13U18 perforated sheet metal – Itoras, in 1.5 mm thick galvanized steel, ranges from €55 to €70/m² for an order of 100 m², depending on the formats and finishes of the panels. For projects with high mechanical requirements or a limited budget, you may want to consider C18U24 perforated sheet metal for equivalent transparency but with better mechanical structure.

Uses

The C13U18 – Itoras perforated sheet metal Itoras an interesting balance between transparency and robustness. With its 13 mm square openings, evenly spaced at 18 mm intervals, it forms a Qg13-18 pattern with a bold geometric design and a 52% open area ratio. This perforated pattern offers multiple advantages in terms of ventilation, visual filtering, and versatility of use, while maintaining satisfactory mechanical strength thanks to its 5 mm material bridge. The C13U18 perforated grid allows light and air to pass through freely, creating a play of sharp shadows and a dynamic graphic effect on facades. It is ideal for cladding commercial buildings, technical halls, or collective housing, offering natural ventilation without sacrificing aesthetics. The 13 mm square holes allow good visual transparency while providing security in the separation. Perfect for urban fences, in residential areas or around public gardens. The structure remains sufficiently resistant to moderate stresses (wind, projections), provided it is framed or installed with reinforcement folds. The C13U18 perforated mesh allows you to structure a space while allowing light to circulate. In interior design, it fits perfectly into transition areas (reception areas, open spaces, office lobbies) where an airy divider with a structured design is desired. Ideal for use in front of cupboards, island doors, radiator covers, or wall coverings, particularly in industrial, minimalist, or graphic environments, the C13U18 perforated square pattern creates a strong visual identity while maintaining good functionality (ventilation, openwork aesthetics).
