Graepel ‘’Picture-Perf’’ Perforating pictures into sheet metal
Powder coated perforated mild steel edged with U strip (6.35mm round with 9.5mm staggered pitch in 1.5mm material) Graepel can perforate images of drawings, pictures and text using different sizes and shapes of perforations to enable an effective image to be produced
“Picture-Perf” is manufactured using the same principals as printing. Larger or smaller dots change the density of the image helping to give a three dimensional effect
Picture-Perf is created by perforating different size and shape holes into a sheet of metal.The image is enhanced with the application of natural or artificial light. Movement adds another dimension to the overall effect.The process is similar to printing. Instead of dots, holes are used to create an image. Different size holes create the shading in an image.Picture-Perf is perfect forDesign conceptsMood light enhancing applicationsMuseumsand historical sitesCompany logos and displaysFurnitureAdvertising and promotionExterior and interior claddingBalustrade infillStaircase stepsIn areas of industry such asLandscape gardeningInterior architectureExhibitionsCreative lightingSignageBenefitsStrong and durableEasy to installDifficult to vandaliseUnique in appearanceAffordableEasy to form into a three dimensional in a curved or angular shape, making it self supporting and strong enough to be part of a structure.It can be supplied in most metals
“Picture-Perf” example using a positive and negative format with only one perforation size and painted using two colours
Images can be very large and often spread over many panels so as to get the desired detail from the picture
Adding colours & changing, light sources or using transparent backgrounds gives an added dimension to “Picture-Perf”
In this example the background is also perforated so as to make the sheet transparent This option is slower to perforate but if the image is scaled up so that the perforations and the spacing between them are larger then the punching time is reduced accordingly
In this example the background is not perforated so as to make the sheet less transparent. One perforation size has been used.
This example has three different perforation sizes so as to create a more detailed image
