perforated metal

Ms Beary

a new parking garage here by an out of town architect has a perforated metal skin. it is about a year old. the metal has rusted and is streaked with stains.
why is perforated metal cool again?

perforated metal is still cool........it just sounds like perhaps the architect/engineer specified either the wrong metal, wrong finish, or wrong connecting system

....or, the garage owners don't like to maintain their property well.

Kynar 500 w/Clear coat would've prevented rusting.

i agree kynar is the way to go.

do you guys know Diamond Perf in LA? They have a great site where you can customize the spacing of the perforations, etc and then print them out for comparison.

I knew somebody'd use the word 'patina'.

Does 'Cor-Ten' (or a recent equivalent) make perf. mtl pnls? All the patina you want, already there.

As for perfMTLpnls, here are some beauties:

Thanks for the compliment, I always wanted somebody to call one of the ones I did something other than 'krap', or 'shite'. Man I'm so glad to have escaped that. Tough to admit culpability in ugly-ing up the country.
All part of the Re-Arch therapy.
