Design: The ability to<br />
produce strong, durable,<br />
lightweight panels in complex<br />
shapes is an important<br />
consideration.<br />
Installation: Perforated<br />
panelling is light but not fragile<br />
therefore making installation<br />
easier, safer and consequently<br />
cost effective.<br />
Vandalism prevention: Due<br />
to its strong durable nature,<br />
perforated metal is resistant to<br />
vandalism. Where Graffiti is<br />
a problem, perforated panels<br />
are less likely to be targeted,<br />
especially with perforations of<br />
high open area.<br />
Maintenance: Perforated<br />
panels don’t show dirt in the<br />
same way that glass does and<br />
therefore maintenance costs<br />
and upkeep are reduced.<br />
New Website:<br />
It’s been a busy few months here at<br />
Graepels and we are very excited to<br />
announce the launch of our newly<br />
designed website. Visit us at our new<br />
website on www.graepels.com<br />
Graepels Responsive design: As a leader in the<br />
perforation industry in Ireland and UK we feel<br />
it is important to make information and more<br />
importantly imagery of our products and services<br />
easily accessible to our customers. Our new site<br />
includes individual galleries for all of our products<br />
and also for the industries in which we operate,<br />
showcasing the application of a finished Graepels<br />
product in its real world sate. We hope you will<br />
come take a tour of our new website:<br />

Protection from the sun:<br />
Perforated metal shades the<br />
sun and eliminates greenhouse<br />
effect<br />
Weather resistance:<br />
Perforated panels are excellent<br />
at shielding against adverse<br />
weather conditions without<br />
stopping the airflow. The holes<br />
create localised turbulence<br />
as the air passes around the<br />
individual perforations, causing<br />
a substantial decrease in<br />
wind velocity. Consequently<br />
a more gentle air flow passes<br />
through the building in stormy<br />
conditions helping prevent rain<br />
from travelling sideways. Thus<br />
the building is comfortable<br />
enough to allow people to<br />
shelter without creating an<br />
environment for loitering or<br />
anti-social activities. Unlike solid<br />
materials perforated metal clad<br />
buildings cut down turbulence<br />
by virtue of their porous nature.
