from the series "Facade and wall materials - trends 2025"
In 2025, facade design requires more than just a sense of form - architects today are looking for solutions that are as beautiful as they are functional. Increasingly, perforated sheets and expanded metal are appearing on the facades of modern buildings. This is the answer to the challenges of modern architecture: ventilation, energy efficiency, durability and personalization of aesthetics.One of the leaders providing such solutions is PERFOPOL from Starachowice - a Polish manufacturer offering a wide range of facade materials for cubic architecture.

Material that gives character
Perforated sheets and expanded metal cease to be merely technical materials. They have become a new tool of architectural aesthetics - they create chiaroscuro, protect against overheating, provide privacy, and at the same time give a facade its characteristic rhythm and lightness.
Award-winning architecture based on perforations
8 Bleeding Heart Yard in London (designed by Groupwork) is an example of an office building retrofit that won the RIBA London Award 2025 and the RIBA National Award thanks to its use of perforated aluminum cladding. The facade acts as a filter - managing light, temperature and the interior-environment relationship.
Equally impressive is the P&C HQ project in Seoul, which uses a layered perforated architectural skin - the facade responds to light and the environment, hiding technical elements and adding lightness to the building.
