For several decades now, facade sheets have been an integral part of the architecture of commercial, industrial, and office buildings. They give both new and renovated buildings a modern look, and the wide range of colors allows companies to use their facades to make their projects stand out in a way that quickly evokes associations with their brand or company name. This feature is particularly evident in commercial construction, while on production facilities, the panels can also divert attention from unsightly elements and make it easier to keep the building clean and in good condition. Exterior metal panels are one of many construction products developed in response to the needs of architects seeking an aesthetic, durable material for exterior facades that offers a wide range of design possibilities.
For technical reasons, assembly must account for the convexity of the panels’ front surfaces in order to compensate for the stresses that arise. Failure to account for this convexity may cause the front surface to “ripple.” For details, please refer to the assembly instructions for PS slat panels.
Elevation panels are a modern and aesthetically pleasing solution designed to provide an attractive finish to a building or its facade and to protect the walls from the adverse effects of weather conditions on the building. Commonly used exterior elevation panels resemble popular siding boards in both appearance and function—which are typically made of plastic (PVC) or wood—but are significantly more durable. The wide range of colors available for protective coatings offers interesting possibilities for combining shape with color to achieve a unique and distinctive final effect. Additionally, the panels integrate very well with various materials such as glass, concrete, other metals (aluminum), and quartz elevation panels.
Visually speaking, elevation panels are an excellent material for cladding buildings that serve a representative purpose (such as a car dealership), but this product is also ideal for cladding walls and facades in buildings:
Their modern look, color palette, and the ability to create interesting patterns have led to panels being used more and more frequently in projects aimed at individual customers, such as single-family homes or housing developments.
The Blachy Pruszyński Company’s lineup of elevation panels includes the PS elevation panel, which is custom -made to the investor’s specifications. It is important to consider not only the color but also the appropriate protective coating, tailored to the environmental factors affecting the steel. We offer PS25 Gloss Polyester, PURMAT, PURLAK, and PURMAX coatings, available in a wide range of colors. The right choice of coating will ensure that the elevation panels are resistant to UV radiation—which causes discoloration over time—as well as to rust and mechanical damage. Investing in coatings with the highest level of protection (such as polyurethane) is further backed by a 50-year Warranty from the Blachy Pruszyński Company.
PS elevation panels made of galvanized sheet metal offer significantly better performance than wood or PVC panels, and thanks to the use of protective coatings, they are more resistant to weather conditions (e.g., UV radiation, moisture, freezing) and exceptional visual appeal. The Pruszyński Company’s PF elevation panels are made of high-quality galvanized sheet metal produced by leading steel manufacturers such as ArcelorMittal, Voestalpine, and Tata Steel. Among the most appreciated features of our company’s facade panels, the following are worth mentioning:
Thanks to our extensive range of technologically advanced coatings, investors receive durable products that deliver the desired appearance. The protective coatings are made of polyurethane, polyester, or a polyurethane-polyester blend—thanks to these coatings, the elevation panels are resistant to UV radiation, which causes discoloration over time, as well as to rust and mechanical damage. An investment in coatings offering the highest level of protection is further backed by a 50-year Warranty from the Blachy Pruszyński Company. The panels play a major role in protecting exterior walls from the adverse effects of weather conditions and in improving the building’s thermal insulation.
PS elevation panels can be installed horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, creating a very attractive surface with no visible fasteners or mounting hardware.
They can be installed on cassettes, wooden or metal intermediate supports (grids), or even directly onto the substrate (e.g., masonry walls). Before the assembly of the cladding, the facade surface must be measured very carefully, including the locations of windows, doors, and any other architectural elements. For technical reasons, assembly must account for the convexity of the panels’ front surface to compensate for the resulting stresses. Failure to account for this convexity may cause the front surface to “curl.” Details on assembly of panels from the Blachy Pruszyński Company product line are described in the “Panel PS Cladding Installation Instructions.”
The Blachy Pruszyński Company’s product line for institutional investors includes all components of lightweight sheet metal structures intended for commercial and utility applications. These range from drainage systems to load-bearing elements, and include both exterior and roofing cladding.
