Field perforation, referred to as square perforation in standard 24041, is a hole pattern characterised by the regular arrangement of square holes over a defined area (also known as a ‘field’). The hole pattern can be combined with other arrangements such as long or strip perforation.
Field perforations are frequently seen in industrial and architectural applications. These perforations are made in a standardised hole pattern that is evenly distributed across the sheet metal. Hole patterns such as these are therefore also known as square perforations.
The variety of design options allows specific requirements of different projects to be met. Components with field perforation are used in a wide range of applications, from industrial use and mechanical engineering to architectural applications in buildings (e.g. balcony balustrades).
Square perforation is valued for its practical functions, among other things. The uniform arrangement of the hole pattern also gives the perforated sheet an attractive, orderly appearance.

The designation ‘Qg’ for a perforated sheet specifies that the hole pattern is a square perforation (field perforation) with a straight arrangement of holes.
