Perforated Aluminium Screen Mesh
Rigid, lightweight aluminium infill for screen doors and windows. The staggered round holes let air and daylight through and preserve outward visibility.

Benefits of perforated aluminium screen mesh
Rigid infill for screen frames
The continuous metal between the holes helps the 1.8 mm sheet hold its shape while it is handled and fitted. Once seated in a suitable frame, the flat panel gives the door or window an even face across the opening.
Airflow, daylight and outward views
Air and daylight pass through the Ø2.0 mm holes across the screened area. The regular round-hole pattern gives the panel a uniform appearance and allows a view through the screen. The perceived view varies with the lighting and viewing angle.
Less weight on the frame
Aluminium weighs less than steel for the same panel size, thickness and hole pattern. This makes large sheets easier to handle and reduces the weight added to the door or window frame.
Naturally corrosion resistant
Aluminium forms a protective oxide layer, making it a practical material for exterior door and window infill. Specify the alloy and finish for the exposure and check the finish against a sample when matching existing frames.

Door and window applications
Hinged screen doors
For front and side entry doors, measure the frame rebate and check the retaining bead before sizing the infill. Mark the required solid margins on the drawing so the perforated area aligns with the visible opening.
Sliding screen doors
For patio and balcony doors, check the panel thickness against the frame channel and the finished door weight against the roller capacity. Confirm the fit before ordering a full batch.
Fixed window screens
For fixed window screens, check the visible opening and the depth the panel seats into the frame. Record the finished sheet size, fixing method and orientation.
Perforated sheet production
Powder coating and packing
Workshop examples of powder coating and flat-sheet packing. Confirm the finish, colour and packing requirements with your enquiry.
What to confirm before ordering
Sheet and edges
Record the finished width × length and label the four edges on a drawing. Mark the required unperforated margin on each edge that needs one.
Alloy and finish
Specify the alloy, temper and surface finish if your project calls for them. Include the colour code or a physical finish sample when matching an existing screen.
Frame and retention
Measure the channel width and depth and copy the retaining bead profile or part reference. Note the tolerances that affect seating and retention.
Frequently asked questions
Is the frame included?
The product is supplied as flat perforated aluminium sheet. Select the frame, retaining bead and fixings to suit the screen assembly.
How do I choose a sheet size for my frame?
Size the panel from the frame channel and the drawing for your retention system. Allow for the portion of the sheet that seats behind the visible opening, then use the standard width and length rows in the specifications to select a sheet for your cutting plan. Confirm your required combination when requesting a quote.
Can I match an existing panel?
Send a drawing or a sample with the finished dimensions, solid margins, hole diameter, centre pitch and finish. For a like-for-like fit, include the frame channel and bead profile.
Can this be used as a flyscreen?
The nominal round opening is 2.0 mm. Specify the smallest opening your project requires if insect exclusion is the priority.
How should I assess a security or bushfire requirement?
Provide the project requirement with your enquiry. The suitability of the sheet depends on the complete screen assembly, including its frame, retention, fixings and installation.
Request a sample or trade quote
For a trade quote, send quantities by sheet size, your drawing or sample specification, the alloy and finish required, and the delivery postcode or port. If ordering a sample for fit verification, include a frame cross-section or bead profile. If sheet packing or pallet limits affect your order, include those requirements too.
