The Service
DESIGN YOUR PANEL FOR MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE!
HOLE SHAPES
 Hole shapes can be chosen from our
comprehensive tooling library which is continually growing. If
your requirement is not in our range, we can manufacture new
tooling to suit. We will be pleased to discuss your special requirements
and advise on tooling needs.
HOLE SIZES
We have tooling capacity to punch up to sizes of 100mm diameter
and 70mm square holes, however these sizes are dependant upon
material specification and sheet or component thickness. We can
also manufacture up to 20 different hole sizes or hole shapes
in the same panel.
PERFORATED DESIGN
 The geometry of the punched hole
pattern can be influenced by the use of the panel just as the
hole geometry can affect the performance of the panel in its
application.
Our CAD/CAM systems give us the ability to turn the specifier's
concept into reality more easily and to quickly produce a working
manufacturing programme. The system accurately produces complex
patterns and design features to customer's specifications and
incorporates them on production.
The major benefit of this service is flexibility; we can adjust
the pattern to suit the required panel shape or to meet a special
requirement. This means, for example, that the rake angle of
a pattern can be adjusted to match that of a rising panel in
stairway applications. The custom pattern ensures that there
is no 'dog leg' effect at the panel margin, as will be produced
by a standard 'T' pattern if the stair angle is not exactly 30
degrees.
ADDITIONAL PRESSWORK
Fixing apertures, notching, slotting and radius corners can
all be carried out in production. This service is of particular
benefit if the perforated panel is to be fitted as part of a
larger fabrication or structure.
PANEL FINISHING
All of our panels are hand finished to remove all sharp panel
edges and radius corners, to give a product that is safe to handle
& ready for installation.
PANELS AND COMPONENTS PERFORATED AND FINISHED IN ONE OPERATION.
 We can also perform bending, rolling
and fabrication operations to add further value to your product
and reduce or eliminate further sub-contracting costs and logistics
problems. We are pleased to discuss such requirements on a job-by-job
basis.
Post perforating processing such as galvanising, powder coating,
anodising, and plating can also be provided, although we normally
recommend that these finishing treatments are carried out as
close to the final installation as possible, particularly for
aesthetic applications.
CUSTOMER SERVICE
QUALITY
 The company works to a system of "Total Quality
Management". Our workforce is continuously involved in the
improvement process including quality circles, problem solving
teams and technical groups.
To compliment this, our formal quality system is maintained and
fully accredited to BS EN 9002
All materials used in production are of prime quality and material
certificates or letters of conformity can be supplied as required.
High value & special finish materials are normally polycoated
on one or both sides to provide surface protection during production
and transportation.
DELIVERY
A bespoke perforating service, manufacturing only to customers
individual order, cannot usually offer an 'off the shelf' delivery.
However, we aim to achieve our target of despatching within three
working weeks of order acknowledgement, we can frequently improve
on this where required, dependant on our workload at the time,
and lead-time of any special tooling or materials.
We pride ourselves on our flexibility, working with customers
on each project to ensure that final adjustments and snagging
lists are met on time. Foreseeable delays due to new tooling
requirements will be discussed at the time of quotation and delays
due to material availability will be advised at order acknowledgement.
We also aim to keep you advised of any developments during the
process of your order.
