Curveline: Perforated Metal Panels

• Perforated Panels •

Curveline perforated panel

Curveline has the capability to curve a wide selection of perforated roofing, wall and decking profiles. The curved perforated panels may be used aesthetically and/or functionally in exterior and interior applications to perform natural ventilation, light diffusion, sound control and other functions.

Panels suitable for perforating and curving include 20 to 24 GA exposed fastener profiles in depths of 7/8” to 1-1/2” and in a variety of configurations, including standard 7/8” corrugated. Panels are available in painted or unpainted galvanized or Galvalume steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, and other specialty metals. Spacing and dimensions of the perforated holes may vary, with up to a 40% open area.

West Point Junior High School Curved Perforated Panels

At the West Point Junior High School, curved perforated panels were used to create an acoustical treatment in the 2-1/2-story dining and common area that is the heart of the school. VCBO Architecture (Salt Lake City) chose perforated “U” panels to carry over a curved motif used on the exterior of the building. Curveline shaped the perforated wall paneling into two sections – the larger one convex, the smaller concave. The design successfully met both functional and aesthetic goals.

Memorial University Curved Perforated Panels

At Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN), St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada, curved perforated panels were used creatively to form a raised ceiling above a window area in a new student gathering center. Sheppard Case Architects, Inc. decided on an S-curved motif to echo the curvilinear form of the window benches below. S-curved 7/8” corrugated metal building panels, perforated and lined with acoustical batte, provided an economical solution.
