New creative perforated metal designs for 2022
Impact Collection: New exotic shapes
The Impact collection is your go-to for unusual decorative patterns that make a statement! These new profiles do not fit into the standard shape moulds. Instead, they are new interpretations of star shapes, diamonds, and polygons.
Pattern 8423 is a star design with a soft, rather than sharp outline, which makes it particularly suited to many different interior design uses. Each star is 20mm in diameter, with a panel open area of 57%.
Pattern 848 is a houndstooth-style pattern, a bold yet delicate geometric design that’s oh-so sophisticated for modern interiors. Pattern 848 features 58 x 35mm diamonds, with a 48% open area.
Pattern 8652 is a slim and delicate pattern featuring an elongated 45 x 15mm polygon. Inspired by natural crystal shapes, this 62% open area profile works for interiors of all eras.
Orbital Collection: Seven new round hole styles
Round is the ‘little black dress’ of perforated metal – it never goes out of style! Which is why we’ve given it a new look for modern architecture, with seven new round-hole patterns that celebrate the classic circle and give you greater flexibility and precision control for light filtration, ventilation, and panel appearance.
Pattern 2319: Can’t decide on circle size? Have them all with 2319! It features five different hole sizes in one panel, for an irregular and intriguing design that gives any project unique appeal. You can see how amazing it looks once installed – it is this design, finished in gold that was used for our Como train station project. 2319 is a 19.2mm straight pitch with a 23% open area.
Pattern 2459: Combining large and small hole sizes in a 25.4mm pitch, this pattern with 19mm and 9.5mm circles sitting side-by-side lends a bubbly, dynamic edge. Pattern 2459 has a 55% open area.
Pattern 242: One of our straight pitch designs, 242 features rows of 9mm circles for a clean and uncluttered look. Featuring a 16mm pitch and an open area of 25%, we love 242 for its stylish simplicity!
If you do favour a more traditional style, the new patterns 248, 235, 230, and 229 all feature different variations of the round hole in a popular staggered pitch. From 230’s closely packed 4.76mm circles and the polka-dot style of 235 and 248, to 229’s spaced out, ultra-private design, we have the right round hole panel for your project.
Futuristic Collection: New round-end slots & square
Round-end slots are a hidden gem for creative perforated metal designs because they offer the perfect combination of functionality and understated style. Used in the right way, round-end shapes can achieve light and airy aesthetics, yet still with plenty of privacy – as seen here at our University of Newcastle NUspace project.
We’ve added two new round-end slots and another square style to our range.
Pattern 380 is a chunky, round-end slot design. Featuring short slots of 8mm x 20mm and a 40% open area, 380 is a robust profile suited to many applications.
Pattern 370 is an elongated and slim round-end slot design, for a lean and elegant panel style. 370’s round-end slots are 4.76mm x 25.4mm, with an open area of 40%.
Pattern 415 is a classic 10x10mm square profile with a 44% open area, and bold, thick lines for visual impact.
Cosmic Collection: New hexagon profiles
We’ve expanded our hexagon Cosmic collection for 2022, offering even more design choice for this popular shape. New additions include:
Pattern 620 (Sirius) is a chunky honeycomb profile that makes a big style impact. It has 20mm AF hexagons, a 32mm pitch, and a 39% open area.
Pattern 621 (Vela) 621 is a neat, small-sized hexagon design. It has 20mm AF hexagons, a 28mm pitch, and a 51% open area.
Pattern 622 (Maia) is an eye-catching honeycomb design, revised for 2022. Featuring 20mm AF hexagons and a 25mm pitch, Maia’s 64% open area creates a delicate and light design.
Pattern 629 (Electra) is an updated design with the biggest open area in the hexagon range of 72%. Electra features AF hexagon holes of 28mm and a 33mm pitch.

Raised Collection: New 3D creative perforated metal designs
Raised perforated metal is traditionally used for safety purposes, and our new design pattern 545 will certainly perform when it comes to anti-slip and drainage installations. But what if we told you that this profile can also create an incredible 3D effect – just by making one simple switch?
Simply turn the panel around so that the raised holes are facing the inside and you instantly have a concave, smooth 3D surface! This dual-use design is great for futuristic and tactile decorative aesthetics, especially if finished in colour or a metallic effect. It features 20mm raised holes and 14mm drain holes in a straight pitch, with a 23% open area.
