Astyl has architectural solutions that integrate aesthetic value and functionality, which are tools at designers’ full disposition in order to create top-notch projects. Among these options are perforated panels, and today we will talk about a specific product, Perfor-art.
Product range description
Our Perfor-Art product line is an advanced computer-based manufacturing software that creates complex images by means of perforations of different shapes in a panel. These images project tones varying both, the size of the perforations and the grid’s space, generating a gradient effect. This process reduces any visual representation to a binary image in which the color of the panel and the tone of the material behind it intervene. This binary reproduction is based on an optical illusion, where the perforations are mixed in tones softened by the human eye with which, observed at a certain distance, they can generate the perception of a complete image.
Attributes
Perfor-art has great versatility. It can be manufactured in steel, aluminum and other metals that can be anodized and painted in a wide range of colors according to the needs of the project and the client.
In order to develop this product it is essential to be aware of:
- The image resolution to be rendered.
- The distance from which you want it to be perceived.
- The tones of the material that would be behind where the panels will be placed.
- The desired color for the panels.
These factors will determine the parameters for successful image processing and optimal visibility results.
The colors of the panels should be chosen according to the type of background in which they will be installed. Shadows, the direction of light and transparencies have influence over the background color. Light colors are recommended for panels that will be installed on solid surfaces such as walls and wide openings such as parking lots, this due to the shadows that are generated inside. Dark colors are recommended for spaces where there will be transparencies and some type of lighting in the background, such as lattices, handrails, pergolas, among others.

Applications
Perfor-Art can be applied in any type of project, from interior spaces to complete facades with the possibility of capturing any type of image or graphic on the panels. This gives the user the opportunity to live a unique and innovative experience by perceiving a space as a work of art.
With virtually limitless options of finishes and perforations varying in size, shape and geometric pattern, perforated metal distinguishes itself as an ideal material for projecting an original design.
Benefits
The benefits of perforated metal are countless, ranging from:
- Energy cost reduction due to solar control indoors.
- Versatility as the panels can adapt to any space.
- Durability of the materials with which all components are manufactured.
- Aesthetics highlight the added value that our Perfor-Art product line provides to the visibility of the project.
This product line opens the door to endless design possibilities in which imagination is the limit, leaving behind conventional patterns and geometric forms. Perfor-Art gives each project an innovative, parametric and timeless touch that will make it stand out from any other.
