How do perforated aluminum panels balance light, air, and privacy?

Perforated aluminum panels act as a dynamic filter between exterior conditions and interior environments. By selecting hole diameters, spacing, and open-area ratios, designers tailor how much daylight diffuses into a space—softening glare while ensuring sufficient illumination. The perforations also permit cross-ventilation behind the facade, reducing thermal loads and preventing moisture accumulation in the rainscreen cavity. From the inside, the panels provide visual screening, blocking direct lines of sight while maintaining outward views through controlled transparency. Advanced CNC techniques allow gradient patterns where perforation density varies across the surface to achieve both privacy and daylight distribution goals. Whether applied on external walls or suspended ceilings, perforated aluminum panels harmonize light, airflow, and occupant comfort in one engineered solution.
