Buying perforated metal? 3 Cost-saving tricks

We all want the best value for money when it comes to buying perforated metal. Arrow Metal&#;s years of expertise in making quality perforated metal means our team knows a thing or two about ways to save on costs &#; without compromising the design, quality, finish and performance.

Please visit our website for more information on this topic.

Here are three top quick and easy money-saving tricks from our team, that can help make your perforated metal budget go further:

1. Base material basics &#; what&#;s the cheapest metal to perforate?

Aluminium, brass, stainless steel, mild steel, pre-galvanised steel, galvanneal &#; there&#;s so much choice when it comes to the base metal material of your perforated metal.

And whilst some are more suited to certain jobs than others because of their inherent strength and durability characteristics, it&#;s worth knowing which is the cheapest &#; and which is usually the most expensive.

In general, steel is one of the cheapest metals you can perforate. But although it&#;s durable and strong, it&#;s also heavy, which is why it&#;s used in construction when huge amounts of metal are needed. Aluminium tends to be the favourite for most architectural perforated metal, and at the top of the cost scale is brass, used mostly for decorative purposes.

If you&#;re not sure which metal you need to use, we can advise on the best base metal for your specific needs and budget, taking into account the required performance, aesthetics and any environmental considerations.

2. Use the finish to achieve a customised look for less

When it comes to buying perforated metal and saving costs, the finish is your flexible, financial-savvy friend. The final touch that influences how your perforated metal looks and feels; you can make even the most standard perforated metal pattern look completely unique just by choosing the right finish. Add metallic coatings to get the same aesthetic effect of brass or gold. Or choose weathered effects for an on-trend, worn-in look.

3. Don&#;t discount &#;standard&#; perforation patterns

You might think a fully-customised, CAD-drawn bespoke perforated metal product is the only way to go &#; but don&#;t disregard what a standard pattern can achieve.

Standard perforation patterns at Arrow Metal go far beyond just the basic square and round shapes &#; which we always have as in-stock, ready-to-ship items.
