Decorative Metal Panel

APEX EcoBuilt manufactures decorative metal panels in aluminum, including laser-cut, perforated, embossed, and CNC-cut designs for facade cladding, feature walls, screens, and ceiling accents.

Panels use the same factory extrusion and finishing capabilities as our curtain wall products and can be supplied factory-direct or under OEM branding.

Pattern & Finish Options

Laser cutting, perforation, embossing, and 5-axis CNC machining turn flat aluminum sheet into custom facade and screen patterns, from geometric grids to sculptural cutouts. Available finishes include mill, anodized, and powder-coated; alloy choice affects both strength and finish performance. See our guide to 6061 vs 6063 aluminum.

For a printed wood-texture surface rather than a cut pattern, the Wood Grain Aluminum Panel Curtain Wall System adds grain texture without perforating the sheet.

Applications

Applications & Trade-Offs

Where Decorative Panels Are Used

Facade cladding: Pair with the aluminum panel curtain wall cladding system for exterior walls.
Lobby feature walls
Privacy screens
Soffit and ceiling accents: Use with the aluminum baffle ceiling for interior applications.

Open-Area Trade-Offs

More open area: Allows more light and airflow but reduces panel rigidity, often requiring thicker backing or a stiffener frame.
Less open area: Improves panel stability but allows less light and air to pass through.

Manufacturing

Ordering & Manufacturing

Production runs through a 150,000 m² factory using extrusion presses and 5-axis CNC machining, with BIM/FEA simulation run ahead of extrusion and OEM programs available for international building brands. Panel count, pattern complexity, and finish drive quantity and turnaround — send a pattern reference, target dimensions, finish choice, and application (facade, interior wall, or ceiling) to get those numbers.

FAQS

FAQ

Where can I buy decorative sheet metal?

For architectural volume and custom patterns, source directly from a manufacturer running OEM orders; retail stock sheet works for small, one-off projects but doesn't cover custom facade-scale patterns or finishes.

What is decorative metal called?

It's called a decorative metal panel, or a decorative screen panel when cut into repeating openwork shapes for light and airflow.

What are the different types of decorative metals available?

Aluminum, steel, and stainless steel are the main options. Aluminum is generally favored for exterior facade work over steel because it's lighter and corrosion-resistant without extra coating.

What are the different types of decorative wall panels?

Perforated, laser-cut, embossed, and honeycomb-backed are the main formats, each suited to different structural and light-transmission needs — perforated and laser-cut panels cover most common decorative metal panel options for screens and facades, and honeycomb-backed versions add rigidity for larger spans.
