Description
CD15M38 perforated sheet metal – Lawi a decorative and soothing geometric pattern: 15 mm square holes with softened corners, arranged in a staggered pattern (triangular repeating mesh) on a 38 mm module. In this perforated mashrabiya perforation geometry, the open area is around 19%, a level that is ideal for ensuring effective airflow, controlled light transmission, and a refined visual appearance. The "pointed" orientation gives the pattern an elegant texture: from a distance, the surface appears as a regular metallic veil; up close, the rounded facets soften the shadows and avoid the harshness of a strict square.
The 15 mm rounded square offers a clear but tranquil visual presence, suitable for cladding, decorative mashrabiya and privacy screens, interior blinds and claustras, metal furniture and partitions, radiator covers and decorative cladding.
Decorative perforated sheet metal with a 38 mm center-to-center distance and a 15 mm opening, the material bridges "projected" along the mesh axes maintain a comfortable margin of around 23 mm, which is favorable for rigidity and performance in service. The triangular mesh distributes stress without any particular direction, making it easier to achieve lasting flatness with equivalent thickness.
Recommendations for sizing and installing perforated sheet metal:
• For 1.5 mm steel, use unframed formats of approximately 1 m² to maintain flatness.
• Carefully plan the layout of the perforations and edges to align the points and ensure that the cuts fit the edges.
• Adjust the fixing pitch and increase the number of support points to make the most of the material.
With 19% transparency, the mashrabiya effectively filters direct views while maintaining regular micro-ventilation. The softened corners improve the feel and limit sharp edges. Depending on the viewing angle and the light, the perforated sheet metal acts as a sensitive metal mashrabiya, creating a soft optical illusion between transparency and concealment.
Made of 1.5 mm thick galvanized steel, CD15M38 – Lawi perforated sheet metal generally Lawi between €50 and €85/m² for around 100 m² of supply, depending on the thickness, finish, installation pattern, presence of frames/stiffeners, and the context of the construction site. Uses
Lawi perforated sheet metal Lawi for fences, guardrails, facade cladding, and technical equipment protection. Its rounded square pattern softens the appearance of the metal while maintaining a structured and regular geometry. The staggered arrangement creates an effect of movement and visual density, limiting rigid alignments and enhancing the fluidity of the cladding. With a reduced open area of 20%, the perforated sheet metal offers enhanced protection against direct views, while allowing for measured air and light circulation. It is particularly suitable for railings in apartment buildings, school or administrative building envelopes, and fences in high-traffic urban areas.
Thanks to its high residual material content, CD15M38 perforated sheet metal offers excellent mechanical strength. It withstands wind and impact stresses without deformation, while maintaining stable flatness over time. This model is recommended for outdoor applications requiring durability and rigidity, particularly over large spans. Its square design with rounded corners gives it a soft visual appearance, similar to the classic industrial perforated pattern, but suited to contemporary architecture seeking a subtle graphic touch.
For indoor use, Lawi perforated sheet metal Lawi as decorative cladding, openwork partitions, or technical ceilings. Combined with an acoustic veil, it helps improve acoustic comfort while creating a textured and refined visual effect. Its square shape with soft edges allows light to be diffused evenly, without creating marked shadow areas. This versatility makes it an ideal material for lobbies, corridors, offices, cultural or commercial establishments.
These variations can be described with the words rigor, softness, and stability. Team advice
