Perforated, formed and specially finished panels for screens, soffits, balustrades and facade features.
Profile cross-section — schematic, not to scale
Overview
Beyond roofing and cladding, steel gets used as a designed surface: perforated screens that shade or hide plant, formed soffit panels, balustrade infills, and facade features that carry a pattern rather than a profile.
We produce these to project drawings — perforation pattern, open area, panel geometry and edge treatment all specified rather than selected. Perforated work is engineered as well as drawn, because open area affects panel stiffness.
This is the part of the business where architects tend to arrive with a sketch and leave with a system.
Applications
- Screens and louvres
- Soffits and undercrofts
- Balustrade infill
- Plant screening
- Facade features

On-screen colours are approximations. Coated steel changes appearance with gloss level, surface texture, viewing angle and daylight. Always confirm a colour against a physical VANKKA sample before ordering.
