Facade Screens

Featuring the best facade screens in Australia

FFacade screens serve both aesthetic and functional purposes. They are used in the residential and construction industry to update a building’s architectural design and protect it from weathering and UV rays. However, only high-quality facade screens can deliver both to the highest standard possible. ArchiPro only selects the best facade screens from reputable suppliers in Australia.

Types of facade screens

Timber screens

Timber, particularly hardwood screens, looks beautiful against any building and provides a warm aesthetic. Common timber types include pine, oak and cedar.

Aluminium facades

Aluminium panels are becoming increasingly popular in Australia due to their ability to be customisable with perforations. These allow some natural light to pass through the screen, while still retaining protective properties.

The advantages of high-quality facade screens

As with all cladding and facade systems, you should choose high-quality facade screens for their optimal performance, look and design. High-quality options often come with additional features such as soundproofing and high UV protection. They can be incredibly energy efficient by reducing overheating and decreasing the need for excess air conditioning. They can also have beautiful and ornate details in creative colours and designer themes. With something so integral to the design of a home or building and exposed to the elements, you should always insist on quality products.

How to choose facade screens that are right for you

Facade screens provide a strong first impression on any building, and for commercial use, this can directly impact your business. Thinking about the way it will be used is an important factor in choosing the right option for you. Many high-rise buildings prefer aluminium facades for a corporate and sleek appearance, but wood can also provide an architecturally decorative screen to spaces like art galleries and museums. For the home, both can work too. Timber screens ooze warmth and comfort, while metal and aluminium screens offer a modern look with clean lines. In terms of maintenance, wood can require more upkeep with treatments often required while metal also often comes powder coated, especially in an outdoor space.

Other products to consider for your project

To enhance a building's aesthetic appeal, several other architectural elements can also be considered. Eaves and soffits provide weather protection and thermal efficiency, while exterior decorative mouldings add intricate detailing and character. Glazed facades facilitate natural light, energy efficiency, and panoramic views. Green facades promote sustainability, temperature control, and an attractive greenery. Masonry and stones offer a timeless, sturdy finish, and render plaster systems afford flexibility in design with a smooth, refined appearance.
