Perforated sheet metal to the fore!
von | 10/27/2011
Perforated sheet metal can be used in any number of ways in architecture – starting with weight reduction for components through optimized acoustic properties to improved heat dissipation. Needless to say, the aesthetics play a key role here, as hardly any other material can be produced so easily on a customized basis and so cost-effectively.
The RMIG company's reference projects listed below highlight the countless different design options and applications for perforated sheet metal in architecture. RMIG is a member of Europerf, an international association that acts as the mouthpiece for the metal perforating industry. The idea behind the platform: to foster the manifold technical applications of perforated sheet metal.
