IN THIS WEEK’S FRIDAY5

Creativity in building facades is limited only by the imagination. Today, there are countless opportunities to expand creative aesthetics, which can include panels with perforations utilizing traditional metals or Metal Composite Material (MCM). The formability of MCM, such as that from ALUCOBOND® PLUS, allows for complex shapes and designs that appeal to architects and designers. Panels can be perforated in geometric, slotted, or customized patterns in a range of solid colors, in addition to mica and metallic finishes. Perforated panels offer unique design flexibility, while maintaining quality and performance, and can also be utilized in traditional or custom attachment systems, such as those engineered by MillerClapperton.

MillerClapperton offers custom fabrication and perforation through the company’s dedicated metal shop and we can work closely with the design community to bring their ideas to life. Whether or not you choose to work with us (and we hope you do), we always recommend seeking out a certified Premium MCM Fabricator. You can find a complete list of certified fabricators from the Metal Construction Association here. For more information on ALUCOBOND PLUS and perforated panels, visit their website at alucobondusa.com or click below.
