Frequently Asked Questions

What does R4/T5 mean on a perforated sheet?
R4/T5 is the industry-standard pattern code: 'R' is the hole diameter and 'T' is the pitch (centre-to-centre spacing). So R4/T5 means 4.0mm round holes spaced at 5.0mm pitch on a staggered (60-degree triangular) pattern. This is the most common UK perforated sheet specification convention.

What is perforated mild steel used for?
Perforated mild steel sheet is used across construction, industrial, architectural and decorative applications - including ventilation grilles, machine guards, screens, sieves, vehicle and trailer panels, agricultural use, sign blanks, balustrade infill, balcony screens, acoustic panels, and as decorative facade panels. The choice of hole size and pitch depends on the open-area required and visual look you're after.

What thicknesses are available in R4/T5 pattern?
This R4/T5 pattern is available in: 1mm. Thicker sheets give greater rigidity and load-bearing capacity but reduce open-area visibility. Choose the thickness based on your application - lighter gauges for decorative screens, heavier for structural or guarding applications.
