Sunlight: inspiration and challenge in architecture

Sunlight is a vital energy source—essential for life, well-being, and natural balance. However, it also presents one of the most complex challenges in contemporary architectural design.

Essential ally, but increasingly harsh

In recent decades, solar radiation has intensified, making outdoor environments more extreme and uncomfortable affecting not only people but also the materials that make up our built surroundings.

Materials vulnerable to radiation

Elements such as:

• Paint
• Concrete
• Plastics

…undergo accelerated deterioration when exposed to prolonged sunlight. Ultraviolet radiation breaks down their properties, making them brittle, dull, and weathered.

Metal facades: functional and aesthetic protection

An effective and modern solution to this challenge is the use of perforated metal panels as architectural cladding. These panels serve as an external solar barrier, reducing direct exposure and extending the lifespan of building finishes.

More than just protection

Metal panels offer key benefits:

• Thermal reduction and UV protection
• Natural ventilation for the building
• Custom design with unique perforations
• Distinct visual identity with patterns, textures, and colors

All while allowing light to filter through—achieving a balance between performance and design.

One solution, many applications

Perfect for façades, railings, pergolas, ceilings, or dividing walls. An investment in durability, comfort, and aesthetic value.
