Like most people, you probably think of metal cladding as a suitable material used to protect buildings from harsh weather conditions. However, there are many creative ways to use metal cladding to enhance the appearance of your home.
Architects are exploring innovative methods to combine metal roof and wall panel systems to strike a balance between architectural simplicity and adaptability. Check out these five trends that are putting metal to use in novel ways.
Highlighting Other Building Materials
Metal panels can be utilized to emphasize stunning stone, brick, or wood on the exterior, significantly enhancing a single wall, column, archway, or entryway. This layered architectural method may combine old and modern, complimenting a building’s history while adding some contemporary elegance.
Combining Colors from the Same Family
Architects frequently select metal objects in a particular hue for individuality and aesthetic impact. This trend may be carried to the next level by exhibiting panels from the same color family (for example, light, medium, and dark blue) in a random or organized manner to produce a mosaic or ombre appearance. You may get this monochromatic appearance if different colours are available within the same color family.
Adding a Woodgrain Finish
Using wood as an exterior accent adds a lot of interest and character. From bamboo to dark oak, metal with a realistic woodgrain finish blends the low maintenance and durability of metal roof and wall panels with the alluring beauty of wood. It’s tough to tell the difference between genuine wood and metal panels with a woodgrain appearance, especially from a distance.
Using Multiple Profiles in Design
To add interest and break up lengthy expanses, architects use roof and wall panel systems on external walls or combine multiple wall panels. Instead of running the same panel the full length of a wall, using different profiles may offer contrast while remaining faithful to the concept. It also adds visual interest without being overly cluttered or overbearing.
Using Perforation
The capacity to design nearly infinite perforation patterns, hole sizes, and densities offers up a plethora of new uses for metal cladding. It might be ornamental, give ventilation, provides seclusion, or provide shading.
