Metal facade

The expanded metal coverings developed by Atena include both solutions with direct fixing modules on the bearing structure and hanging expanded metal panels with carriers and extruded aluminium profiles with sliding brackets as Atena Formal Step and Formal Slide systems. These solutions are properly conceived to realize curved modules and special architectural elements which stand out for the geometry and the transparency of the stretched metal. In the direct fixing systems expanded metal modules can be overlapped or spaced through the use of special anti-cut profiles, which prevent the risks of skin cutting and underline the modular shapes of expanded metal sheets. As all Atena architectural facades systems, even the expanded metal models are equipped with specific finishing elements to properly cover internal and external corners, columns, bases, upper bands and intrados. Above all, the design of windows’ coverings plays a main role, both to ensure the compliance with all intrados and extrados requirements and to achieve the wished aesthetic result. Expanded metal with high degree of front transparency could be a good choice to screen the windows letting the right quantity of light in. In addition to sun screen coverings, Atena realizes special mechanical and automated pivoting panels.
