Picture PERFect – Metal Image Perforation
AMICO Architectural Metal’s Picture PERFect process can take your raster image and convert it into a perforated image using holes in a metal panel. This proprietary process can translate photography into a surface with high resolution and recognizability. Many of our clients, however, opt to take a more abstract texture path, turning the metal surface into a beautifully custom surface.
This manufacturing process is also great for projects incorporating local artist thumbprints into a given space. For instance, the Fort York Toronto Public Library hired local book illustrator Charles Pachter to create a beautiful abstract pattern that brought unique life and regional context to the facade.
To start a project, you merely need a raster image for which you own the rights. It could be a graphic, a photograph, or a texture that you quickly create in Photoshop. If you need some assistance with a design, please get in touch with AMICO to help create a custom solution for your project.
