Lightweight. Durable. Refined.
TILT manufactures custom perforated and laser-cut aluminium panels from alloy grades 1100, 3003 and 5005 series in tempers H14 to H32. Our technical team specifies the correct alloy and panel thickness — from 1.5mm to 4mm — sized against project-specific wind loading, span, fixing pattern and environmental exposure before a single panel goes into production. Every component is engineered to perform, not just to look good.
Aluminium's natural anodic oxide layer provides inherent corrosion resistance. Paired with QUALICOAT Class 2 architectural powder coat — or PVDF (Kynar 500®) fluorocarbon coating for coastal and high-exposure environments — TILT panels maintain their colour and structural integrity for 15 to 25 years with minimal maintenance. Powder coat is applied electrostatically and oven-cured to a minimum 60 micron DFT, with gloss, matt, satin, textured and metallic finishes all available from our standard range.
Perforation options include round, slot, square, hexagonal and custom laser-cut apertures with open area ratios from 5% to 60%+. Standard sheet sizes to 3000 x 1500mm; bespoke dimensions to project requirements. In-house laser cutting and press brake forming allows complex returns, fixing flanges and compound bends to be completed in a single production run — reducing installation time and improving finished quality on site.
Lightweight at 2.7–5.4 kg/m² with minimal substructure requirements. Fire-safe under SANS 10400-T. Finished in QUALICOAT Class 2 powder coat or PVDF Kynar 500® fluorocarbon coating — coastal-grade, no rust, no staining, 15–25 year service life. Any perforation pattern from DXF or vector artwork at no tooling charge, with open area ratios from 5% to 60%+. Available in 200+ RAL and NCS colours plus architectural anodised finishes in clear, champagne, bronze and black. Perforated configurations reduce solar heat gain; acoustic mineral wool variants available. Fully recyclable with positive end-of-life material value.
Architectural facades, feature cladding, brise soleil screens, balustrades, staircase railings, entrance canopies, pergolas, louvre panels and mechanical plant screens. Internally deployed as feature walls, ceilings, office partitions, sliding screens, gate infill and AC concealment panels. Specify at minimum 2mm for sheltered exterior and 3mm for exposed or coastal installations. NBS-format specification clauses and structural engineering sign-off available on request.
