MITO (C18U24)

Description

The C18U24 – Mito perforated sheet metal Mito a sober and effective statement. Composed of 18 mm square holes aligned in a straight grid with a center-to-center spacing of 24 mm, it forms a rigorous geometric pattern called Qg18-24, offering 56% transparency and striking a balance between transparency and hole layout. This pattern, taken from the standard catalog of regular square holes, forms a controlled orthogonal grid, creating an impactful pattern without being visually overwhelming. It is a format that is particularly popular for decorative and technical applications that require significant airflow while maintaining a visible and protective metal surface. The 18 mm square format gives a solid and assertive look, with a regular visual rhythm that can be seen from both near and far. The square shape of the perforations creates sharp shadows and projects rectilinear graphic effects onto walls, floors, or other nearby surfaces. This angular play of light contrasts with the softer round perforations: here, the C18U24 perforated pattern becomes almost architectural, like a mesh that announces the layout of the pattern in its own right. With 6 mm of residual material between each opening, C18U24 – Mito sheet metal Mito good mechanical strength while offering high visual porosity and functional performance. The perforated plate is more resistant to deformation than other patterns with more than 60% open area, while allowing generous air and light circulation. C18U24 perforated sheet metal can therefore be used in certain frameless applications, provided that the panel dimensions do not exceed 1.5 m². For outdoor use, however, a rigid frame and reinforcement folds are recommended to avoid the risk of sagging due to mechanical stress. Precautions for use: - Avoid use in sensitive environments (schools, nurseries) due to its high transparency. - Must be framed for large panels or when exposed to wind. - Not suitable for use as guardrails without the addition of a frame and side reinforcement folds. The price of C18U24 – Mito perforated sheet metal, made of 1.5 mm thick galvanized steel, ranges from €45 to €65/m² for 100 m² projects, depending on the desired finish and the cutting, layout, and format requirements of the project.

Uses

C18U24 – Mito perforated sheet metal Mito for its pattern of large 18 mm square holes, aligned in a straight line every 24 mm. Its understated, bold design is particularly suited to projects requiring maximum ventilation, a visual lightness effect, and strong geometric graphics. This standard Qg18-24 pattern offers a clean, regular orthogonal grid with a high transparency of 56%. In commercial or cultural interior design projects, C18U24 – Mito perforated sheet metal Mito ideal for use as: - openwork metal partitions for entrance halls and transition areas, - decorative technical panels, where the aim is to allow the space to breathe visually while defining functions. Thanks to its generous square openings, C18U24 perforated sheet metal ensures excellent air circulation and intense light diffusion. However, the open pattern makes this sheet less suitable for spaces where visual privacy is desired, such as private waiting areas or partitioned offices. C18U24 perforated sheet can be used in decorative metal facades, ventilated cladding, or as a light sunshade: - Its high transparency limits heat gain while diffusing natural light. - The straight line arrangement casts a repetitive square shadow, which visually animates the facade depending on the daylight. When used as a residential fence, C18U24 sheet metal offers excellent visual openness, good airflow, and a modern graphic appearance.
