POSIL (CD 8 M20)

Description

CD8M20 – Posil perforated sheet metal Posil a precise and decorative geometric pattern: 8 mm square holes with softened corners, arranged in a 45° staggered pattern, on a repeating 20 mm triangular mesh. With this perforation pattern, the open area is around 20%, which is just right for ensuring useful airflow, controlled light transmission, and a neat visual appearance. The diamond-point orientation or square-on-point arrangement creates an elegant graphic texture; from a distance, the surface appears as a regular metallic veil, while up close, the rounded facets soften the shadows and avoid the harshness of a strict square. The "rounded" 8 mm square provides a subtle visual presence, compatible with environments requiring a discreet aesthetic: cladding, decorative privacy screens, interior blinds and trellises, furniture and technical partitions, false ceilings, and decorative interior finishes. This decorative perforated sheet metal with a 20 mm center-to-center mesh and 8 mm perforations forms a metal mashrabiya with comfortable 12 mm "projected" material bridges along the mesh axes. The 45° orientation distributes stress without any particular direction, promoting good stability at equal thickness. Recommendations: • 1.5 mm steel, unframed formats with a surface area of 1 m² to be retained; • for larger panels, provide a metal frame around the perimeter and stiffening folds; • take care with the layout of the perforations and edges to align the points and ensure clean cuts at the edges. A transparency of approximately 20% clearly filters direct views while maintaining regular micro-ventilation. The softened corners of the decorative squares reduce sharp edges and improve the feel. This is a metal mashrabiya that is pleasing to the eye. Made of 1.5–2.0 mm thick galvanized steel, CD8M20 – Posil decorative perforated sheet metal generally Posil for between €48 and €90/m² for a 100 m² supply, depending on thickness, finish, installation pattern, the presence of frames/stiffeners, and the construction context.

Uses

Thanks to its high residual metal content, CD8M20 sheet metal offers excellent mechanical strength. Its dense structure ensures good resistance to impact, torsion, and external stresses. This perforated sheet metal can be used for medium-sized self-supporting panels without the need for a reinforced frame. The fineness of the pattern also creates a sense of continuity, reinforcing the effect of a solid surface while maintaining sufficient natural ventilation. For indoor use, Posil sheet metal Posil ideal for decorative and technical applications. Combined with an acoustic veil and an absorbent material, it becomes a high-performance ceiling or wall covering, contributing to acoustic correction while diffusing light in a soft and even manner. This versatility allows it to be easily integrated into halls, corridors, offices, or commercial spaces, where it combines elegance, functionality, and visual comfort. Contemplation arises here from the delicacy of the pattern and the regularity of the rhythm. It protects, filters, and ventilates. This perforated sheet metal softens the light, unifies perception, and highlights the materiality of the metal. With an openness ratio of 20%, Posil sheet metal effectively Posil against direct views while allowing light and air to pass through in a measured way. It is an ideal choice for public buildings, collective housing, schools, and urban fences where protection must be accompanied by controlled aesthetics.
