Perforated Sheet in Bar Design

17 May 2011

Perforated sheet aluminium is incorporated into some of the most exciting, contemporary and cutting edge nightclub and bar designs.

Cool, funky, futuristic, chic, minimalist, cosmopolitan, are all adjectives that creatively describe the appealing visual qualities of perforated aluminium.

Perforated Sheet In Bars — Perforated Sheet: Column Casing – ME2 Nightclub

You can select from our comprehensive selection of perforated sheet patterns to satisfy every conceivable bar and nightclub theme. These designs are available punched in many configurations, encompassing round, square, or hexagonal holes, slots, or special ornamental shapes. To increase design choice many of these patterns are available with different percentage open areas ranging from 6 to 55%.

This incredibly versatile metal can be folded, formed, machined or worked using a wide range of processes. Thanks to these excellent material properties, perforated aluminium has become widely used within an extensive number of entertainment and leisure related applications.

Aluminium Sheet: Geometric Patterns

11 May 2011

‘Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication’

Aluminium is a highly versatile, lightweight and strong material and can be worked using a variety of metalworking techniques.

Punch-pressing and punch-cutting are among such forming methodologies and these manufacturing processes are used by the team here at Gooding Aluminium to produce a selection of patterned effects on aluminium sheet.

From our comprehensive selection of simplistic geometric designs it is possible to achieve either a rather understated classic look or, by mixing with other patterns and textures, exciting dynamic effects that manifest in many different ways.

GA’s Impressional and Transformational pattern ranges seek to satisfy the need for simple abstract designs. These patterned aluminium sheets are available from stock in standard panel sizes or can be specially produced to match your specific requirements.

These primary geometric shapes of circles and squares are based on symmetrical repetition. It is elementary motifs like these that often rise to the challenges of modern design. It was Leonardo da Vinci who said, ‘simplicity is the ultimate sophistication’.

Additionally the silky smooth tactile qualities of GA’s Ano-Sil anodised finish or the grainy textured effects of satin brushing are the perfect partners for adding that ‘extra’ something to the these touchy-feely’ patterns.

Perforated Aluminium Sheet

16 March 2011

Do you know of a more versatile material than perforated aluminium sheet?

What other element provides so many solutions for acoustic. aesthetic, airflow, light transmission/diffusion, screening, security and weight reduction purposes? You’ve guessed it; there isn’t anything that comes even close to matching up to this incredibly attractive and flexible aluminium sheet material.

Here are some of the special qualities of our top quality perforated aluminium sheet;

Cleanliness: We only use naturally evaporating lubricants to assist with the perforating process.
Edge detail: Standard stock size panels are always supplied with an unpunched ‘safe edge’ border.
Flatness: Our technologically advanced production methods minimise surface curl in perforated sheets and help to produce commercially and visually acceptable degrees of flatness.
Missing or imperfect hole shapes: Although not standard industry practice we only supply perforated aluminium sheets with 100% hole pattern conformity.
Surface protection: Protective polythene film on the top face side is applied to help protect from the rigours of the perforating process.

And what’s more, you can order these top quality perforated aluminium sheet patterns online today for prompt dispatch.

Design Characteristics of Aluminium

18 February 2011

Aluminium and its alloys possess many useful architectural properties. We detail below those qualities that are particularly relevant to the building and associated industries.

Availability

Aluminium is the most common metallic element and its oxide form, known as bauxite, is the third most abundant substance.

Bi-metallic Corrosion

In the presence of moisture direct contact between aluminium and other metals should be avoided otherwise bi-metallic corrosion may occur. Where there is such potential for bi-metallic corrosion then the different metals must be isolated from each other by means of a suitable gasket or by coating or painting the contact area. There is no risk of bi-metallic corrosion in dry conditions.

Corrosion resistance

Aluminium is highly resistant to weathering, even in polluted industrial atmospheres and also resists attack from many acids.

The excellent corrosion resistance of aluminium is due to the permanent presence on the surface of an invisible oxide film, making the material environmentally passive. If the surface is cut or scratched the protective film immediately reforms. Unless some substance or condition destroys this oxide coating, the metal remains resistant to corrosion.
