FLOATING OUTDOOR AREAS
At Bauernfeldgasse in Vienna’s 19th district, ProMetall supplied terrace panels and partition walls for a residential complex.
The perforated metal sheet type “Rt 12-15” in RAL colour 9006, equivalent to a modern, matte white, was used. The balconies are wound around the entire building and are divided by various dividing panels. During the selection process of the perforated metal sheet, the focus was on a high degree of transparency which creates the image that the balconies almost float and makes the occupants feel as if their outdoor area was unlimited. A beautiful solution for an existing residential project that has been around for a while which has been upgraded by the new panels.
PERFORATED METAL - A CLASSIC WITH A NEW COATING
Perforated metal sheets have been produced in Europe since the late 19th century. In the past, perforated metal sheets were mainly used as sieve and filter elements and as protective plates in industry and machine construction. Creative designers and Western European product experts found new applications for the functional metal sheet – in the form of innovative designs for façade construction. Perforated metal sheets are popular for visual protection of façades in modern residential, hotel and office complexes and are often used for staircases and balconies. Nevertheless, perforated metal sheet has retained its practical character in the design sector and is also used as sound insulation in building construction.
