Introducing the elegant beauty and solid durability of stainless steel and titanium exterior wall panels that bring a new look to buildings.

投稿日:

Beautiful architectural panels that adorn the facade of buildings.

Among various materials, our company proposes stainless steel metal panels that express the beautiful reflection and mirroring inherent to metal, and titanium panels, which are the next generation of highly durable metals.

 

Creating Beautiful Exteriors with Stainless Steel and Titanium Panels

Our stainless steel and titanium exterior wall panels blend cutting-edge technology with unique designs, providing long-lasting beauty and functionality.

We ensure durability, corrosion resistance, ease of maintenance, and environmental consideration through the appropriate selection of stainless steel grades and metal types depending on the application.

We will showcase examples of use in various projects, such as commercial facilities, public institutions, and luxury residences, along with a wealth of photos.

 

Exterior Metal Panel Adoption Example #1: USA Disney Concert Hall (Stainless Steel)

 

This is an example of adoption at the USA Disney Concert Hall, a masterpiece by Frank Gehry.
The exterior walls of this building use a special specification polish.
“A finish that visualizes the image of sails sparkling in the waves, changing expressions with the sunset and sunrise.”

Exterior Metal Panel Adoption Example #2

(Stainless Steel)

 

A stainless panel homage to the Hakata Kento pattern.
The strong vertical stripes characteristic of the Hakata Kento pattern are expressed through three types of polishing methods: “A dazzling but non-dazzling buff polish,” “A vertical line with unevenness conscious of the sharpness of Hakata weaving,” and “A diamond polish conscious of the unique pattern.” Ten patterns combining these three types are created and arranged on a 1m wide panel.

The base material is the high-corrosion-resistant ferritic stainless steel NSSC-220M (exterior) and environmentally harmonious white stainless steel NSSC-FW2 (interior), imagining the silvery color of Hakata Kento pattern.

In this case, to abstractly express the core design of vertical stripes, we began by abandoning the conventional wisdom of polishing. After numerous mock-ups and seeing the actual item, we finally found “the solution.”

It was a result made possible by the local advantage. As a result, we could express the quaint Hakata woven Kento pattern with cutting-edge technology through uneven polishing, providing a non-monotonous, heterogeneous finish.

Features and Benefits of Stainless Steel & Titanium Exterior Wall Panels

We introduce the balance between beauty and practicality offered by our exterior wall panels. Focusing on weather resistance and corrosion resistance that maintain their aesthetics under harsh conditions, we also introduce our commitment to environmental friendliness and the use of renewable energy.

 

Exterior Metal Panels (Stainless Steel)

Beauty

Stainless steel metal panels can have a variety of surface finishes, such as glossy or matte, thanks to diverse ornamental polishing processes. The combination of design polishing processes allows customization to fit any scene, contributing to a modern and stylish appearance for buildings.

The unique luster shows various expressions under sunlight or lighting, enhancing the building’s beauty over time.

 

Weather Resistance

Stainless steel metal exterior wall panels naturally form a weather-resistant oxide film due to their steel composition. This maintains the material’s quality under harsh weather conditions, making them suitable for long-term projects.

 

Corrosion Resistance

Known for being rust-resistant, stainless steel panels, especially in regions affected by seawater or salt damage, exhibit high corrosion resistance.

While not as corrosion-resistant as pure titanium panels, selecting the optimal steel type and corrosion-resistant ornamental polishing processes can significantly reduce maintenance costs, making them economically advantageous.

 

Environmental Friendliness

Stainless steel is 100% recyclable, and the used panels can be completely recycled at disposal, reducing waste.

The manufacturing process and disposal have a relatively low environmental impact, increasing their value as sustainable building materials.

 

Use of Renewable Energy

Actively using renewable energy sources in the manufacturing of stainless steel panels can reduce CO2 emissions and contribute to environmental protection.

 

Exterior Metal Panels (Pure Titanium)

Pure titanium metal panels, with their unique properties, offer many advantages over stainless steel, including beauty, weather resistance, corrosion resistance, and environmental friendliness.

Beauty

Pure titanium has a unique color and luster, giving buildings depth with slight color changes depending on the light. It allows for richer color expression than stainless steel, making it suitable for art and design-focused architecture.

 

Weather Resistance

Pure titanium has extremely high weather resistance, showing little degradation from UV rays or temperature changes, making it ideal for long-term architectural projects.

 

Corrosion Resistance

While stainless steel has high corrosion resistance, pure titanium shows even higher resistance to seawater and salt damage, maintaining its condition without rusting over long periods.

 

Environmental Friendliness

100% recyclable, with a manufacturing process that has comparatively little environmental impact, it allows for long-term resource conservation as it is currently recycled as a steel material.

 

Conclusion

While stainless steel exterior wall panels are known for their durability, beauty, and environmental friendliness, titanium exterior wall panels offer even greater corrosion resistance and weather resistance.

Titanium is particularly suitable for projects with high design demands or harsh environmental conditions, such as waterfront developments.

On the other hand, stainless steel is adaptable to a wide range of applications and offers excellent cost performance. Metal panels made of stainless steel can achieve unparalleled architectural expressions with various ornamental polishing processes and 3D processing.

Understanding the characteristics of each material allows for the optimal selection to meet the needs of the project.
