PRANCE metalwork is a leading manufacturer of metal ceiling and facade systems.
Australia Lobby Aluminum Open Cell Ceiling and Wall System Project
This project involved an aluminum open-cell system across the ceiling and walls of a commercial lobby area in Australia.PRANCE supplied a 200 × 200 mm open-cell ceiling system to achieve a clean and cohesive design across the entire space.
To improve installation efficiency and maintain dimensional consistency across large areas, our technical team adopted a factory-prefabricated assembly approach based on the project drawings. The modular design helped reduce on-site adjustment work while maintaining tight joint alignment throughout the open cell system.
For the surface finish, the project combines AkzoNobel powder coating with Salide wood grain technology. The finish delivers a natural wood appearance while maintaining the durability and long-term stability required for commercial interior environments.

Project Renderings
The project applies a continuous 200 × 200 mm open cell system across both the ceiling and wall areas, creating a unified and consistent visual effect throughout the lobby space.
To meet future maintenance requirements without affecting the overall ceiling design, we also integrate 600 × 600 mm ceiling access panels with the same open-cell design into the ceiling system. This design keeps the visual consistency while allowing convenient access for maintenance work.
All modules were manufactured and assembled according to the client's drawings before shipment. This ensures that each panel is correctly aligned with the grid layout on site, making installation more straightforward and reducing on-site adjustments.
| High-Precision Laser Fabrication for Seamless Grid Alignment
Manufacturing precision is vital in producing this open-cell system. Higher processing precision allows the grid structure to achieve tighter and cleaner joint alignment, creating a more refined and consistent architectural appearance across large ceiling and wall areas.
During production, each aluminum profile underwent precise cutting, laser hole processing, and precision slot cutting. These fabrication steps require strict dimensional accuracy because the hole and slot positions directly affect the assembly alignment of the open cell system.
To meet the project requirements, our team applied high-precision fabrication equipment and detailed tolerance management throughout the manufacturing process, helping reduce visible gaps between grid sections and ensuring a cleaner finished result.
| Durable Wood Grain Surface Finish for Commercial Interior
This open-cell system applied an AkzoNobel powder-coated finish combined with Sublitex wood grain transfer film. This combination brings together the durability of aluminum and the natural look of timber, creating a warm and stable visual effect suitable for long-term use in commercial interiors.

| Mock-up Testing
Before the surface finishing process, we carried out a trial assembly of the system for client confirmation. This process focused on the visual consistency of the grid spacing and the joint gaps after assembly, allowing the client to directly review whether the finished effect met the expected design requirements. Based on this pre-assembly result, adjustments could be made before delivery to ensure the final installation matched the approved grid appearance.
