Elite Open

It depends on the perforation pattern. Larger, more closely spaced holes create more open area and airflow. Smaller holes provide more privacy. The pattern is chosen for each project to match the equipment's airflow needs.

A perforated panel uses a repeating hole pattern that primarily balances airflow and screening. A laser cut panel uses a custom decorative design, such as artwork or a logo, and is backed by solid aluminum, acrylic, or LED lighting.

All three use aluminum wire mesh. The Wire Mesh Panel is an open enclosure panel. The Espalier Single and Double Trellis panels are designed to support climbing plants, so the screening comes from vegetation growing on the mesh.

It defines and blocks access to an area while staying visually open. A tighter mesh size makes the panel harder to climb.

It is the standard grating designation for bearing bar and cross bar spacing. "19" means bearing bars are 19/16" (1-3/16") apart on center, and "4" means cross bars are 4" apart on center.

Choose bar grating when security and maximum airflow matter more than hiding equipment. It defines and protects an area but leaves it visible. For screening that hides equipment, choose a louvered, staggered, or solid Elite panel.
