Perforated ACM panels, designed to impress.

Perforated ACM filters light and air, softens a mass and gives a facade texture. The perforation can be fully customized: one repeating pattern, or alternating patterns that come together to form an image.

One pattern, or a pattern that forms an image

The perforation can follow a single uniform pattern across the whole facade, for a calm and consistent texture. It can also alternate hole sizes and layouts so that, seen from a distance, the perforation forms a shape or an image. The pattern is designed for each project.

The know-how to make it right

An image made of holes only works when the perforation is drawn and cut with precision. We have the knowledge and the technology to produce this kind of perforation, so the result truly impresses, with patterns that stay aligned from one panel to the next.

Planned in the model

We map the pattern across every panel in the 3D model, including joints, corners and returns, so the design reads as one continuous surface once installed. Panels are fabricated from approved shop drawings and identified for installation.

Light, air and privacy

Perforated ACM can soften a large mass, filter daylight and screen areas you prefer not to show, while still reading as a solid skin from afar. Hole size, spacing and open area are chosen for each project.

What is included

  • Uniform patterns across the whole facade
  • Alternating patterns that form images
  • Hole size, spacing and layout chosen per project
  • Clean corners, returns and joints
  • Detailed in 3D and identified before production

Questions

About Perforated Panels.

Can the perforation pattern be customized?

Yes. It can be a single uniform pattern or alternating patterns, and the layout can be designed to form an image. Share your design intent and we will advise on what works in ACM.

Can a perforated facade show an image or a logo?

Yes. By varying the perforation across the panels, the pattern can form shapes or images. We map the image panel by panel in the model before any panel is cut.

Can perforated panels be combined with solid ACM?

Yes. Perforated and solid panels often meet at corners and returns, as in the photos on this page.
