ARCHITECTURAL METAL SCREENWALLS & GRILLE ASSEMBLIESARCHITECTURAL METAL SCREENWALLS & GRILLE ASSEMBLIES Metalwërks® Screenwalls and Grille Assemblies are manufactured from a wide variety of materials, including formed or extruded metal profiles, perforated metal panels, woven architectural mesh, and bar grilles. These systems are engineered to ensure structural integrity from the outside face of the cladding element to the primary building structure. Metalwërks selects assembled components from only the highest- quality architectural commodity producers. These can be designed for pre-assembly at our facility or knocked down (“K/D”) if site logistics permit. Unitized or knocked down depending on project logistics or installation preference Long life solid metal assemblies for ultimate durability, with damage-resistant finishes Non-Combustible: minimal smoke or fuel contribution All panel systems are reinforced/stiffened to resist deflection limits Dismountable or operable as desired 100% recyclable and manufactured from materials with high post-consumer/industrial content which can contribute to LEED credits Exposed structural elements manufactured from non-ferrous aluminum or stainless steel that will not rust (unlike galvanized steel or AESS-coated steel) Virtually limitless palette of colors, finishes, and textures to complement, enhance or contrast Concrete Facades Aluminum: “Long life” high performance finishes are post applied for the highest quality of coverage and uniformity Available in no-VOC powder coated finishes Finish warranties up to 20 years (coated aluminum) – Consult Metalwërks for limitations FEATURESProvide shading, heat reduction, and ventilation for parking garages, glass curtain walls, or glazed assemblies Conceal mechanical equipment on rooftops or plaza-level enclosures Serve as backdrop for branding, murals, signage, or banners Add texture to an exterior face and/or create dramatic surfaces for unique building designs Enhance privacy for occupants and/or neighboring properties Visually complement or contrast with Metalwërks plate wall system Break up the scale of large structures Beautify an otherwise plain precast or masonry wall Diffuse direct sunlight from penetrating a curtain wall or windows Provide screening for security purposes Separate occupied spaces on balconies, terraces, or streetscapes NOTE: Systems included in this brochure are often found in spec section 10240 Grilles and Screens, 074216 Metal Panel systems, or 05700 Ornamental Metals. USES & BENEFITSFRAMING OPTIONS With a frame designed to span from floor to floor and featuring an infill of architectural metals, this assembly replicates the appearance of a framed window or louver. EXPOSED FRAMED ASSEMBLIES Flat perforated metal panels with repetitive or variable patterns and with complementary or contrasting framing elements Woven wire cloth or mesh or CNC produced patterns or images Extruded tubes, bars, or a variety of formed shapes – much like a louver, but with more aesthetic appeal Panel assemblies are the main design feature and can be applied as a system for long spans between building support elements. Variable perforated pattern over a concealed frame Back-lighting adds color and helps to create a dramatic effect With the facing materials covering the frame to create a floating effect, the frame assembly is recessed behind the infill materials and the joints between units are usually minimized. CONCEALED FRAMED ASSEMBLIESASSEMBLY TYPES Grilles attach to the building substrate and create a visual screening from the building behind. These can be assembled with an array of tube and solid metal shapes, or water and/or laser cut to create patterned effects. GRILLE ASSEMBLIESFin assemblies can be made of Custom Formed elements, Extruded, or structural shapes to form a unique grid pattern. FIN ASSEMBLIESINFILL OPTIONS Perforated panels can allow for proper airflow, visual screening, or other lighting effect. This can be accomplished by varying the perforation hole sizes or the pattern by using a straight, random, or staggered pattern or even custom pattern to create an image. The holes can also vary in shape by using rounds, squares, and oblong shapes to name a few.
