ABOUT ARIAMESH PLATINUM
ARIAMESH PLATINUM™ is an exclusive range that offers unparalleled customisation by transforming images and custom artwork into stunning perforated metal patterns using state-of-the-art software and techniques.
By utilising varying hole sizes or shapes, this range transcends traditional limitations, allowing for the portrayal of images or custom artwork with breathtaking detail, giving architects and designers greater freedom to express their design concepts with clarity and precision.
From photographs and logos to abstract artwork and silhouettes, ARIAMESH PLATINUM™ transforms diverse forms of media into uniquely designed facades for both new and existing buildings.
Beyond aesthetics, these customized patterns serve functional purposes such as sunscreen shading, barrier protection and ventilation, seamlessly blending form and function in architectural design.
HOW IT WORKS
When specifying ARIAMESH PLATINUM ™ Architects and designers provide their desired image or custom artwork requirements, including any details or drawings of the proposed finished concept.
The artwork is integrated into perforated form while preserving the original design intent, taking into account vital elements like background, scale, and viewing distance.
We then provide a range of hole sizes, pitch and orientation best suited for the intended purpose, which can be included in specification documents.
DESIGN FUNDAMENTALS WHEN USING ARIAMESH PLATINUM
Perforating custom images and artwork uses different sized holes to vary the amount of open area in the panel which creates the contrast required to bring out the image.
There are several factors which can affect the clarity of the final product, such as:
-
Size and background colour of the structure
-
Scale and ratio of the proposed image or artwork
-
Size and open area of the perforations
-
Viewing distance of the structure
-
and much more.
CONSIDERATIONS WHEN SELECTING IMAGES
OR ARTWORK
VIEWING DISTANCE
Consider the most commonly viewed position when installed as each image or artwork will have an ideal viewing distance where it will be at its clearest.
COLOUR OF BACKGROUND AND PRODUCT
Creating contrast of light and dark is what brings the image or artwork to life, considering the colour of the finished background, the colour of the product and whether natural or artificial light will be visible behind the product are important aspects to get the right clarity.
SCALE AND RATIO OF IMAGE OR ARTWORK
Ensuring that the scale and ratio of the image or artwork and the final size of the product is important to ensure there is no need to crop, stretch, rotate or dramatically resize the image which may have an undesirable effect on the final look of the product.
IMAGE QUALITY FOR HIGH OR LOW CLARITY
Variations in hole sizes dramatically affect the level of detail in the final product, images that use a higher level of colour and tone variations will use more hole sizes as opposed to a black and white image or silhouette. Digital images in either JPEG, TIF, PDF, or BMP format are suitable to use.
FIXING METHODS
When using perforated metal across a facade or elevation, the use of several panels are required to “join” the image or artwork. Considering the fixing methods and support structure behind can influence how well the joins are constructed to ensure the overall image or artwork is as seamless as possible.
