Armando Rodriguez, Brand Manager for CRL’s Architectural Metals Division, comments, “Both of these systems can completely transform a building’s façade, while also offering protection from the sun and intense rays.  Our Perforated Panel Systems are available in any number of finishes and perforation patterns, and can be retrofit to a building without major structural reconfiguration.  Strategically placed panels can provide a new more modern look to older structures, while increasing the efficiency of the cooling systems.  Our engineers can assist with the design and installation plans to help create a cost-efficient and attractive building addition.” 

CRL Perforated Panels are available in steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.  Panel finishes of mill, powder paint, and KYNAR cover almost any color selection.  Stock sheets are in various thicknesses are available, and CRL can custom fabricate panels using CNC Laser and Waterjet Cutters.

CRL Architectural Wire Cloth Systems can also be used on exterior designs to transform a building’s façade. They can also be effectively used on interiors for ceilings, wall paneling, and railing infills.  It’s available in several meshes to cover a wide variety of applications.  

Architectural wire cloth can be used in both exterior and interior applications.

Rodriguez explains, “CRL’s Wire Cloth can be installed on exteriors to filter out harmful sun rays while creating attractive façades.  Our wire cloth elements are generally maintenance free, so no special cleaning is required.  For exterior applications the preferred material is a high quality stainless steel with molybdenum, which offers great corrosion resistance. Tensioning systems with edge detail can be incorporated to ensure the wire cloth remains taut. The fact that the wire cloth is durable and non-flammable also makes it ideal for building interiors. When used in conjunction with state-of-the-art acoustic fleece, CRL’s Architectural Wire Cloth offers excellent sound absorbing qualities.”
