Galvanised Steel Perforated Mesh Plate (5mm Round Hole x 8mm Triangular Pitch x 1mm Thickness)

5mm Round Hole Galvanised Steel Perforated Mesh

This 5mm round hole galvanised steel perforated metal mesh is a practical and versatile sheet product made by punching precise holes into flat galvanised steel. With a 5mm aperture and 8mm pitch, the mesh strikes a balance between airflow, drainage, and screening performance. The pitch refers to the distance from the start of one hole to the next, calculated as the hole size plus the gap between them. At 1mm thick, the sheet offers strength and rigidity without becoming too heavy, making it easy to handle, cut, and install.

The galvanised steel construction gives this mesh excellent resistance to corrosion, as the zinc coating acts as a protective barrier against rust and environmental wear. This makes it highly suitable for external and exposed applications, such as outdoor panels, ventilation grilles, cladding, and security screens in areas where moisture, rain, or variable weather conditions are a concern.

In addition to its durability, the sheet features a triangular hole pattern, which provides both functional and decorative benefits. The consistent hole spacing improves light passage and airflow, while the pattern itself gives the mesh an attractive and modern finish. It is frequently used in architectural projects, landscape design, fencing, and screening systems—anywhere a balance of form and function is required.

The 5mm holes are effective at filtering out larger debris or controlling access, while still allowing air and light to pass through freely. In industrial or commercial environments, it’s often used for safety barriers, machine guards, wall linings, and vented panels. For residential or garden use, it works well as a decorative screen, trellis backing, or partition panel, offering a clean appearance with lasting performance.
