Modern car park façades

made of expanded metal

Three reasons for expanded metal in car park construction

In the past multi-storey car parks were regarded as unpopular functional buildings – dark, loveless and without architectural appeal. Nowadays they are part of urban construction decisions and meet functional and aesthetic requirements. Expanded metal is ideal for this purpose: as a façade material that shapes multi-storey car parks and visually upgrades their environment.

1. Ventilation and air permeation

The open structure of expanded metal ensures optimum ventilation: exhaust gasses are discharged, daylight is used and noise reduced. At the same time the material protects against weather conditions and provides robust safety for cars and passengers.

2. Aesthetic and design scope

The aesthetic versatility of expanded metal creates a wide range of design opportunities. The result: transparent effects, striking forms and colourful accents. Multi-storey car parks are not just functional but also an urban eye-catcher.

3. Ecological and economic aspects

Natural light and air supply lower the demand for energy and reduce the use of mechanic ventilation systems. Expanded metal is recyclable, durable and resistant even under extreme winder weather conditions – ideal for projects where robustness and sustainability are key.
