Perforated Screen Manufacturers

What are Ash & Lacy perforated screens?

Perforated screens, walls and panels have been a feature of architecture for many years as a means to control the amount of heat and light entering the building, as well as a method to create a secure enclosure or private area. When used as a secondary skin to a building’s façade, perforated screens offer a solution that combines architectural freedom of creativity with numerous functional, aesthetic and practical benefits for the building user.

Perforated Screen 3D

Ash & Lacy Perforated screens in building facades
Ash & Lacy’s cutting-edge engineering and manufacturing capabilities allow for bespoke patterns to be perforated, etched, laser cut and dimpled utilising architectural grade aluminium and steel base materials, for internal and exterior use. As architectural trends evolve, more ambitious call for the creation of highly detailed perforated images and 3D textures – bespoke designs that add a distinctive personality to a building façade.

Climate control
Perforated screens used in a dual-skin façade construction provide significant solar shading and resistance to heat loss and gain in commercial and residential buildings, simply by creating space between the building’s external façade and secondary screen. When a screen is integrated with computerised solar shading and louvre systems, it’s even possible to adjust and maximise the effects of solar radiation whilst closely controlling heat gain. Perforated screens also enable interior spaces to benefit from natural light, filtered in a way that reduces the glare of direct sunlight and fostering an environment that is comfortable for both living and working space.

Ash & Lacy Perforated screens for weather protection
In a changing climate, weather protection is a key consideration for any building or structure. Our products are innately effective at shielding against adverse and extreme weather conditions, without compromising airflow. In high winds, the perforations create localised turbulence as the air passes over, the result is a significant reduction in wind velocity through to the interior or main structure of the building. As a secondary benefit, the effects of driving rain are also reduced as water is prevented from travelling sideways.

Ash & Lacy perforated screen products
Ash & Lacy’s architectural perforating capabilities lend themselves perfectly to perforated screen systems; not only can we create durable solutions which stand the test of time on the exterior of a building as well as on the interior, but we can also perforate almost any pattern, testament to the fact we produce our own tooling on-site. Our perforated screens can be manufacturing using perforating, etching and expanding processes, with the flexibility to specify open area, ventilation and shading requirements to suit individual applications.
