POHL Expanded Metal Facades

The right mesh for every project.

Expanded metal facade cladding offers diverse functional and design options. Positioned in front of a glass facade, it provides effective privacy and sun protection while still allowing light and visibility. At the same time, it offers an efficient solution for cladding multi-storey car parks, ensuring continuous air circulation. Beyond exterior applications, expanded metal also serves as a refined architectural element for interior spaces and ceiling designs.

Benefits

Intelligent shading solutions
Regulation of the room temperature
Bright rooms while being protected from outside views
Diffuse sound reflection helps to channel the noise emission
Diverse design options in mesh and color

The right mesh for every requirement

The form of expanded grating made of aluminum can be shaped
flexibly and is particularly very well suited as architectural element.

Panel sizes up to 500 x 6000 mm
Material thickness of 2 to 4 mm
Any mesh types possible
On request some of the meshes can be processed from
Pre-galvanized steel, aluminum, copper and brass.

Technical Specifications

We provide a comprehensive database of all expanded metal specifications and are happy to advise you on light transmittance, ventilation cross-section, and selecting the right mesh for your needs.

Form and Color

After selecting the desired geometric mesh type, element size and technical key points, numerous design possibilities open up.
Being matt or glossy, colored or natural - you determine the finish. Architectural mesh is outstandingly suitable for an anodized surface, such as POHL Duranize. However, POHL Duracoat powder coating or wet paint solutions are also suitable to implement the desired design.

The open mesh structure allows natural light to pass through while creating distinctive patterns of light and shadow. This adds depth and character to the facade while helping functional building elements blend harmoniously into the overall design.

Expanded Metal Systems
