Architectural expanded metal is designed for façade infill panels, structural elements and building openings of sports halls, stadiums, parking garages and residential buildings. Various mesh shapes allow different levels of transparency and create a distinctive architectural feature. The material also serves a protective function and is manufactured in accordance with the DIN 791 standard.
Applications
Construction and architectural projects.
Materials
Steel, aluminium, Corten steel.
These mesh types are mainly produced to order, therefore dimensions, quantities and pricing need to be discussed with our specialists.
For smaller and private projects, selected types are also available from stock, usually in two or three different formats.
Custom manufacturing
Your specific requirements are not a limitation for us. After consultation, we can manufacture expanded metal tailored precisely to your project needs.
Fixing
Fixing and anchoring expanded metal to façades is always designed individually according to the type of structure and the desired visual result. Expanded metal can be installed using frames, fixing rails or anchoring systems that ensure strength and uniform tension of the sheet. The correct fixing method influences not only the appearance of the façade but also its durability and long-term performance.
Design and mesh shapes
We offer a wide range of mesh types – from diamond and square to hexagonal, including decorative variants. By selecting the mesh shape, size and orientation, it is possible to control the level of transparency, shading and the overall visual effect of the façade.
Surface finishes
Expanded metal can be treated with hot-dip galvanising, powder coating or anodising, increasing its resistance to weather conditions and giving it an elegant appearance. Colour finishes allow the façade to be coordinated with surrounding architecture or corporate identity.
Technical delivery conditions
Standard production positions are primarily intended for technical applications. The technical delivery conditions are based on our experience in supplying perforated materials. Please review them carefully – they explain important details necessary for selecting the appropriate material and ensuring its correct application.

Perforated materials combine practicality and aesthetics
They offer extensive application possibilities – from refined architectural detailing to demanding technical solutions in industrial environments.
Applications:Suspended ceilings
Thanks to their technical properties, attractive appearance and ease of installation, suspended metal ceiling systems are widely used in offices, administrative buildings, universities, schools, hospitals, retail outlets, supermarkets, cultural centres, airports, railway stations, showrooms, production halls and warehouse facilities.
Ceiling systems can incorporate lighting, fire detection sensors, security systems, and audio equipment, and may be integrated with ventilation components.
A practical benefit is the concealment of the concealment of mechanical and electrical services and the option to reduce the clear ceiling height of the space.
Applications:Facades and cladding
Perforated sheets, expanded metal, and gratings are used in façade systems for a wide range of buildings, including office centres, shopping centres, schools, sports halls, residential complexes, and car parks. Owing to their durability, versatility, and visual qualities, metal façade systems allow extensive design expression while fulfilling protective, shading, and ventilation functions.
They contribute to long service life, minimal maintenance, and improved energy performance through light regulation and ventilation.
Applications:Fencing
Fence infill panels can be manufactured from perforated sheets, expanded metal, or laser-cut sheets, most commonly in aluminium. A wide range of patterns and colours enables coordination with the architectural concept of the building. Metal fencing is low-maintenance, durable, and provides a functional as well as representative solution for private houses, residential developments, and commercial premises.
Applications:Balcony and other infill panels
Perforated sheet and expanded metal are suitable for balcony and terrace infill panels, balustrades, and the covering of structural openings. They provide safety, airflow, and an attractive appearance, with the option to adjust transparency and shading levels.
They are characterised by high strength, long service life, and minimal maintenance requirements.
Applications:Stairs and gratings
Stair treads and gratings are used in industrial facilities, technical buildings, and architectural projects. The range includes steel and stainless steel options, as well as variants in expanded metal or perforated sheet, enabling both technical and design solutions for interior and exterior use.
Anti-slip finishes and various surface treatments ensure long service life and reliable performance.
Applications:Balustrade infill panels
Perforated sheets and expanded metal are used as balustrade infill panels in both interior and exterior applications, combining safety with visual appeal. A wide selection of perforation patterns and surface finishes enables alignment with the architectural concept of the building.
