3 trendy balcony design perspectives
Perforated metal sheet and expanded metal are amongst the trendy materials for balcony cladding in current residential buildings. They stand for creative design flexibility, functional sophistication and sustainable quality – and they turn the balcony into the architectural statement of every façade.
1. When it needs to be individual
Project reference: Residential Complex Fürstenweg – Innsbruck, Austria (2017)
Perforated metal sheet offers nearly limitless design flexibility: individual patterns make striking statements and can be precisely integrated into the architectural concept. The combination with wood is particularly in demand – it brings warmth to the design and accentuates the object’s modern character.
2. When design creates protection
Project reference: Residential Complex Bräuhausstraße – Salzburg, Austria (2023)
Expanded metal combines transparency and visual protection – the net-like, three-dimensional structure creates a lively interaction of light and shade. Not only is there great flexibility with regards to selecting the degree of openness, but the openness contributes to wind and noise insulation – a huge plus for living comfort.

3. When sustainability is thought through
Metal claddings made of perforated metal sheet and expanded metal are durable, corrosion-resistant and low maintenance. Expanded metal is produced without any waste, both materials are completely recyclable – ideal for sustainable architecture with durable aspirations.
