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.

USES & BENEFITS
ALL-METAL CONSTRUCTION
When combined with our façade cladding products – Omniplate™, Arcwall™, and Arcwall™ – the designer can use a singular finish for all metal elements, visually unifying the façade. For example, walls, canopies, and column cladding can be confidently color-matched with roof trellises, grilles, and screenwalls.
All Metalwërks systems are made exclusively from solid metal – no plastics or composite materials are used.
Metalwërks avoids all plastics because:
