Overview:
When it comes to perforated metal, plastic, and other materials, Diamond Manufacturing has the experience and the resources to satisfy practically every requirement. Since 1915, Diamond Manufacturing has been providing original equipment manufacturers (OEM's), job shops, and architectural firms with quality perforated material.
To satisfy the varying needs of different customer types, Diamond has to be very versatile. For this reason, Diamond invests in tooling and machinery that can perforate more than 2000 patterns, produce material in tolerances tighter than industry standard, and offer it as sheet, coil, tube, fabricated, or finished product. With these abilities, Diamond Manufacturing Company is capable of satisfying a wide range of requirements.

|
Perforated sheets can be supplied either as flat, fabricated, and/or finished product.
Typically produced from coil, perforated sheets can be produced in widths up to 60" and in any length (typically under 250" for shipping purposes). Supplied either fully perforated or with margins and/or blank areas, perforated sheets can be produced to meet your design and production requirements.

There are over 2000 different perforated patterns that Diamond can produce - all of which fall into one of six basic categories. The available perf patterns and information specific to each category, including formulas for determining the percent open area (%OA) and holes per square inch (HPSI), are contained within their respective section. Diamond can also produce custom patterns to give your project a unique look.

There are a number of different materials that can be perforated, though certain metal and plastic types are commonly used because of their ability to satisfy a wide range of design criteria. To facilitate selection of a material type, we offer information on those that are most commonly perforated. The information includes descriptions of the various material types which are categorized into carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and plastic, and provides tolerances on thickness that can be perforated and their respective weight.

|
|
For those applications where a certain appearance is desired, we offer our ability to produce over 2000 patterns in round, square, slot, hexagon, decorative, and 21st century patterns. For those applications where a level of performance is required, in addition to our numerous patterns, we offer literature on tests performed by independent laboratories on some of the most important capabilities of perforated material.

Perforated minimizes resource depletion due to its recyclability, reduces energy in use, promotes sustainability, and invites innovation in terms of creative design and innovative engineering.
Blending functionality and recyclability, perforated has numerous advantages when it comes to green design and construction. LEED Certification, the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Green Building Rating System, sets standards and awards points for specified uses of sustainable resources.

Many tests and studies have been performed on perforated metal to determine its effectiveness in a broad range of applications. Perforated metal is effective in reducing unwanted noise, air and pressure loss, as well as EMI shielding. Information can also be obtained on the strength, elasticity and formability of perforated metal.
