Expanded metal façades and façade elements from TECHNOTRON-METAL bring lightness, originality, and functionality to architecture. They make it possible to create complete façades as well as distinctive architectural details on buildings that not only stand out visually, but also improve the technical performance of the façade – from shading and ventilation to protection.
Advantages of expanded metal façades from Technotron-metal
Aesthetics and originality
The variability of shapes, dimensions, and surface finishes allows the appearance to be adapted to any project.
Functionality
Elements provide breathability, shading, ventilation, and protection.
Durability and service life
Metal materials with surface finishes resist moisture and UV radiation.
Tailor-made solutions
From design and manufacturing through to final delivery.

T-M L – L-section frame
Welding expanded metal into, or onto, an L-section frame provides a structurally simple and robust solution with a clean finish, including square edges. The L-section provides sufficient weld surface and ensures the stability of the entire panel. This solution is particularly suitable for façade elements requiring precise geometry and easy fixing to the substructure. For larger formats, the frame can be divided with a T-section. This is the most widely used expanded metal façade system.
-
T-M I – additional flat bar Welding flat bars vertically to the rear edges of the expanded metal creates a load-bearing element suitable for façade installation. This is the most cost-effective option and, where rear support strips are welded behind the expanded metal, combines ease of installation with a lightweight appearance. Flat bars positioned along the edges are suitable for smaller formats where side fixing is required.
-
T-M K – brackets Brackets provide secure and stable fixing of expanded metal without the need for welding. Thanks to the concealed fixing system, the front elevation remains clean and unobstructed. Brackets distribute loads evenly across multiple fixing points, increasing the durability and reliability of the overall structure. This solution is suitable for fixing to sandwich panels or façades that allow multiple fixing points without the need for a substructure. The lower manufacturing cost is offset by more precise and time-consuming installation.

T-M J – closed section frame Welding expanded metal into a frame formed from a closed hollow section creates a robust and highly durable element. The closed profile provides exceptional rigidity. This system is primarily used where increased frame strength or a specific method of installation is required.
-
T-M U – U-section frame Welding expanded metal into a U-section frame is used primarily where the expanded metal is inserted into the profiles and framed around the full perimeter or along the sides, giving the façade greater depth and articulation. Alternatively, the expanded metal can be welded onto the U-sections. This creates a rigid and stable construction with the material securely retained, increasing load capacity and overall panel durability. Where full perimeter framing is applied, the lower section of the frame is provided with drainage holes.
-
T-M P – P-section frame Welding expanded metal into a P-section frame provides a clean perimeter finish and high rigidity of the element. Owing to the secure fixing and enclosed edges, this system is used primarily for fencing panels, gates and wickets. The frames must incorporate drainage channels on the underside to allow for condensate discharge.
-
T-M F – L-section frame for hanging An L-section frame designed for hanging allows straightforward installation and removal without visible front fixings. This system is used where rapid installation and a clean appearance are required. It is suitable for façade and decorative panels as well as lighter structures. This method requires a specific substructure.
-
T-M O – fixing to an Omega section Expanded metal fixed to vertical Omega-shaped sections is an economical solution without welding, suitable for flat surfaces such as halls made from sandwich panels where offset installation is required. All fixing is carried out using self-drilling screws (TEX type). Expanded metal panels can also be pre-drilled on request.

Materials
and surface finishes
Aluminum
Aluminium expanded metal façades offer high resistance to weather conditions, mechanical damage, and corrosion. We typically provide powder coating in the full RAL colour range, offering extensive design possibilities.
Materials
and surface finishes
Corten®
Façades made from Corten® steel are characterised by a natural patina that gradually develops on the surface and protects the material from further corrosion. This process eliminates the need for additional surface treatment, resulting in lower maintenance costs and long service life. Corten® steel also gives façades a distinctive industrial character and integrates naturally into both modern and historic architecture.
Materials
and surface finishes
Steel
Steel expanded metal façade infills are supplied with a hot-dip galvanised finish that ensures long-term protection against corrosion and increases façade durability in demanding conditions.
Inspiration for architects
Expanded metal façade elements are widely used on office buildings, multi-storey car parks, commercial centres, and residential projects. Architects value their versatility and the possibility of creating original design patterns that also fulfil technical functions.
