TRANSPARENT LED MEDIA FAÇADES MADE OF STAINLESS STEEL MESH

Our media façades can transform buildings into high-class venues for media productions as an interactive LED façade. At the same time, the stainless steel architectural mesh gives the outer shell of the building a classy appearance and creates versatile design highlights – even when it is not in use as an LED façade.

The LED façade: an architectural highlight
during the day and at night

Transparent media façades with the very latest LED technology can be superbly integrated in the architecture. Bright rows of LEDs in the stainless steel mesh and the corresponding media software deliver high-resolution content or color transitions during the day and at night. What’s more, the LED façade is also attractive when switched off – a visible advantage compared to conventional LED displays.

Transparent media façade: further advantages

Media façades made of stainless steel mesh impress with a range of advantages. The rooms behind the architectural mesh remain usable without restriction; depending on the incidence of light, the metal mesh reflects its surroundings in attractive facets. In addition, the efficiency of durable stainless steel mesh as solar protection, an air conditioning membrane and fall guard protection are convincing benefits.
