Metawell Aluminum Curtain Walls
ALUMINUM CURTAIN WALLS
The product variation of Metawell® especially for facade cladding is called Metawall®. Because of the ingeniously simple design, a very light and extremely rigid aluminium sandwich panel is created, which is perfectly suitable for curtain wall facades.
The continuous production process allows the fabrication of unusually large facade elements with a flat surface.
The element remains dimensionally stable and plane, so a larger effective span can be realised with less substructure.
Since the sandwich core is also protected against corrosion, the material has a high resistance to corrosion and is 100 % recyclable without previous material separation.
Different colors, e.g. RAL, NCS, BS, Pantone and metallic colors, can be offered. Individual color schemes are available on request.
Unlike other sandwich panels, Metawell® panels can be powder-coated on request – so individual coloring for smaller quantities is also possible.
