TIROL C20U32)

Description

C20U32 – Tirol perforated sheet metal Tirol for its precise design, solid mechanical strength, and clear visual pattern. It features square holes measuring 20 mm on each side, arranged in an orthogonal alignment with a regular center-to-center distance of 32 mm. This standard pattern, referenced Qg20-32, has a transparency rate of 39%, perfectly balanced to offer ventilation, safety, and stability in a single sheet. This straight grid layout gives the perforated sheet a strictly geometric appearance, ideal for applications where visual regularity is an important criterion: modular facades, architectural privacy screens, linear fences, technical panels, or exterior protection. The square format of 20 mm for each hole, larger than the usual standards for perforated sheet metal, provides a marked and dynamic visual rhythm, visible both up close and from a distance. Unlike round or staggered hole patterns, the straight line of squares structures the eye and creates an almost typographical graphic effect, which is reflected in the play of light and shadow projected onto adjacent surfaces. This angular grid creates a sober and technical architectural language that is highly appreciated in the tertiary, industrial, and urban design sectors. Thanks to its 12 mm of residual material between each opening, C20U32 - Tirol perforated sheet metal Tirol excellent mechanical strength. It does not deform easily when cut or handled, even in large formats. This pattern can be used without a frame for small panels (up to 1.2 to 1.5 m²). For outdoor applications or those subject to mechanical stress (wind, impact, vibration), a metal frame or peripheral folds are strongly recommended to secure the structure. C20U32 perforated sheet metal is recommended for fences, cladding, technical equipment, and industrial partitions. It is not well suited to ultra-sensitive or aesthetically delicate environments, such as quiet residential areas, due to its strong graphic expression. The price of C20U32 – Tirol perforated sheet metal, made of 1.5 mm thick galvanized steel, generally varies between €50 and €70/m² for an order of approximately 100 m². Prices depend on the layout, finish, and specific constraints of the project.

Uses

C20U32 – Tirol perforated sheet metal Tirol robustness with a striking geometric design, making it ideal for applications requiring high mechanical strength while maintaining good visual transparency. For outdoor applications, C20U32 perforated sheet metal is particularly recommended for fencing in public areas and school zones, administrative buildings, technical and industrial sites, and semi-open residential areas. Thanks to its suitable metal thickness (up to 3 mm), moderate perforation pattern, and large amount of residual material between the holes, C20U32 perforation is resistant to impact and torsion and offers good mechanical strength over long spans. The perforated sheet metal becomes a defensive barrier that limits intrusion attempts while allowing air and light to pass through, with a good level of visibility to the outside. When used as a guardrail for stairs or balconies, C20U32 guarantees: - regulatory safety in accordance with guardrail standards, - visual transparency allowing the continuity of the landscape to be seen, - and solidity, even for self-supporting panels up to 1.5 m² without a reinforced frame. Its straight-line design provides a contemporary visual rhythm, in keeping with the architecture of social housing, office buildings, and sports facilities. With a transparency of less than 40%, C20U32 perforated sheet metal limits direct heat gain while allowing good natural ventilation behind the metal cladding. Its square angular pattern creates a clear and rhythmic play of light, which is easy for architects and design offices to control in their layout plans. - Technical covers, combining ventilation and protection (radiator covers, service rooms, etc.). The square shape avoids visual distortion while structuring the space, with a sober, solid, and professional graphic finish.
