Comparing round holes vs slotted holes for industrial screens? The right choice all depends on what you process, how the material moves across the screen, and what performance you need from the finished product. At Roy Manufacturing, we’ve found standard round holes to be the most popular choice. This perforation pattern provides a versatile, durable […]
What Metal Thickness Can Be Custom Perforated for Architectural Panels?
Architects and designers use perforated metal for everything from decorative privacy screens and building facades to sunshades, railings, and exterior accents. Whether they’re decorative or functional, what makes these custom perforated architectural metal panels work is choosing not just the right perforation pattern(opens in new tab) but the right material thickness. Keep reading to see […]
How to Choose The Best Materials for Laser-Cut Data Center Components
Data center manufacturers and contractors need component materials that meet demanding performance requirements. They also need precise, repeatable fabrication. Laser cutting delivers both. Laser cutting(opens in new tab) gives manufacturers the ability to create ventilation panels, rack components, cable-management hardware, brackets, enclosures, mounting plates, and other parts with tight tolerances. The materials chosen for these […]
5 Ways to Use Laser Cutting for Retail Displays
What makes a great retail display? It’s eye-catching. It’s clear. It’s personalized to your brand. And using laser cutting for your retail displays is the best way to achieve all three. Laser cutting gives retailers, designers, architects, and fabricators the precision and creative flexibility they need to take displays from concepts to distinctive physical spaces. […]
How Perforated Metal Supports Energy-Efficient Data Centers
One area data centers are constantly looking to improve is their energy efficiency. With servers running chips and processors 24/7 and cooling systems trying to keep up, it’s no surprise that over 30% of a facility’s total energy consumption(opens in new tab) often comes from the cooling systems. Highly optimized facilities, however, can reduce their […]
The Benefits of Custom Perforated Metal Panels for Forestry Equipment
Forestry equipment sees some of the toughest conditions industrial equipment can face. It’s up against endless dust, wood chips, branches, mud, heat, and constant vibration. How do equipment manufacturers make it work? By implementing forestry equipment engineered with custom perforated metal panels. Perforated panels give manufacturers and equipment operators a durable way to manage airflow, […]
Laser Cutting vs Traditional Fabrication: Which Is Better for Data Center Parts?
The equipment in data centers is completely critical, but so are the parts that support that equipment. From cooling units to racks and frames, if one part fails, the whole system can crash. When it comes to producing those data center parts, the question often becomes: which is better – laser cutting or traditional fabrication? […]
The Best Perforation Patterns for Data Center Ventilation
From server racks to energy consumption, airflow drives every aspect of a data center. Optimizing that data center airflow heavily depends on choosing the right perforation patterns for ventilation. At Roy Manufacturing, we’ve seen how the wrong panel design can restrict airflow, creating hotspots and forcing cooling systems to work harder than necessary. That’s why […]
5 Reasons to Use Perforated Metal for Bike Shelters
Leaving a bike exposed to the elements means risking rust, faded paint, and cracked rubber. Many public spaces install bike shelters to help combat these effects, and perforated metal has become a top material choice. Schools, parks, transit stations, and more are choosing perforated metal for its strength, airflow, and aesthetics. It’s a durable solution […]
How Laser-Cut Ventilation Panels Improve Airflow in Data Centers
If there’s one thing data centers are known for, it’s the massive amounts of heat they produce. Facility managers are constantly looking for efficient ways to combat this heat, and laser-cut ventilation panels provide a practical, custom solution. These panels help optimize airflow and reduce hot spots to improve cooling efficiency. Here, we dive into […]
