Flat Seam is a modular metal panel system that we’ve successfully used for years to fabricate facades and other architectural design elements with exceptional flexibility and precision. Panels are fabricated using our time-tested sheet metal techniques and feature interlocking, hemmed edges.
The result? Clean lines, durable performance, and customizable geometry, all without complex, built-up support systems.
In “An Architect’s Guide to Graphic Perforated Metal Panels”, Architizer editors explore the creative potential of perforated metal panel systems like Zahner ImageWall® – and its latest innovation Zahner ImageLines® – from the design process to technical detailing and application.
It was just over ten years ago that perforated metal entered into a new era, a golden age for metal imagery created through selective perf. For many years, perforated metal was an industrial product. Today, perforated metal is part of a new renaissance.
A brief history of perforated metal.
