Solving Australia's HVAC Infrastructure Challenges with Perforated Metal Screens

Australian HVAC systems operate under extreme weather conditions, urban noise limitations, and increasingly strict energy codes. Perforated metal screens are becoming the go-to solution for MEP consultants, HVAC contractors, and commercial developers across the country. In this article, we detail how they solve complex challenges in real projects across Sydney, Brisbane, and Perth.

Case Study: Hospital HVAC System in Brisbane

A public hospital's mechanical roof plant in Brisbane was causing significant complaints due to visible equipment and loud exhaust fans. After consultation, our team delivered a stainless steel perforated screen system with acoustic lining:

• Noise reduced by 19 dB

• Equipment lifespan extended via weather shielding

• Appearance upgraded to match hospital's facade

Reference: AIA Healthcare Acoustic Standards

Challenge: Equipment Corrosion in Coastal Cities

In Perth, corrosion from salty air caused early failure of traditional HVAC enclosures. Our solution: perforated marine-grade aluminum with anodized finish and hydrophobic drainage channels. Delivered a 5-year no-maintenance cycle.

Product details: Installation Standards for Harsh Environments

Design Use Case: Sydney Shopping Mall

An HVAC upgrade in a Sydney shopping complex needed facade-integrated screening. Designers used patterned perforated panels that echoed the mall's geometry. Benefits included:

• Shading and airflow in one system

• High tenant satisfaction (24% increase)

• Energy usage drop of 14%

Trends: Statista – Building Energy Performance

Benefits for HVAC Contractors and Consultants

• Precise ventilation control (custom open ratios)

• Acoustic performance when paired with soundproofing

• Custom shapes to fit retrofits and new builds
