Pic Perf Technique
Image-based facades from Valmont® Structures are an innovative addition to our already extensive architectural catalog. Your architectural designs are perforated into a metal canvas to precise specifications, casting a striking visual statement. Use the facades as moving artwork or custom-design them with your brand’s graphics in mind to see bold frontage aesthetics and innovative architecture meet. Pic Perf facades from Valmont Structures are an artistic statement unto themselves.
How do image-based facades work?
These custom-made products use perforations to create images in a variety of metals. Pic Perf can be installed in custom-designed metal facades, as well as in fencing applications or as an innovative addition to walkways or interiors. They can be manufactured to any size and with a variety of coatings options, from untreated to anodized or powder coated. The facades can come as a single metal panel or can span multiple panels. Whatever the application, Pic Perf provides a unique metallic textural finish that is also tough and durable.
Image-based facades can cover an entire building face while also providing a high open area for parking garage screening. Part of our ethos is ensuring that you always get a solution that suits your exact requirements. Discuss your needs with our expert team and we can manufacture a Pic Perf project unique to you. We tailor our designs to accommodate the ideal conditions for your application while considering all technical and code mandated factors.
A number of factors determine how we recreate your desired image to truly fit your purpose, including the amount of light to which the facade is exposed, whether light comes from in front of or behind your metal panels, and viewing distances. Words can also be incorporated into your designs if desired, meaning there is no end to the interesting ways image-based facades can be used.
