Perforated materials are used in a number of different applications for a variety of reasons. Used mostly as screens, filters, shields, and guards, perforated materials can control the passage of air, liquid, light, solids, heat, electromagnetic waves, and sound waves.
With these abilities, perforated materials are often found in OEM applications such as clothes washer and dryer drums, speaker covers, automotive grills and exhaust components, airplane engine silencers, grain dryers, microwave ovens, computer cabinets, and countless others.

In addition to OEM applications, perforated materials are also used for their aesthetics in architectural and design applications such as facades, fixtures, and privacy panels.
