Designed and manufactured in-house by the Arrow Metal team, our new additions are ideal if you are looking for patterns that are different from the usual profiles.

We have brand new takes on round holes, round-end slots, imaginative shapes, and a fantastic, must-see dual design hack for our very stylish, raised perforated metal.

All these designs are available in a range of metals and panel sizes, with a turnaround time of approximately two to three weeks.

New creative perforated metal designs for 2022

Impact Collection: New exotic shapes

Impact Collection

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.

Impact patterns

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

Orbital - Como

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

Futuristic collection

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.

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%.

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?

Raised Collection

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.
